You are the epitome of wokeness. It encourages POCs to be overly sensitive and easily offended. They are encouraged to play the victim and robs them of their agency. When you couple that with White Fragility that says if Whites defend themselves they are racist, it leads to resentment and disengagement. It erases their individuality and treats Whites as interchangeably racist. The concept of equity leads to racial quotas and discourages excellence.
Do you need help with the mini quote system? I mean actually it meant I spent years hating myself because I didn't know why I felt the way I felt, only that it was 'wrong'. I was a kid. To be fair for me it was sexism. Why are kids being told to grow up and deal with racism? I don't get that.
All kids feel that to a greater or lesser extent. I certainly did. Young girls are being told that their discomfort is because they are trans. Today you would have be injecting testosterone. Racism is ineluctable, like gravity. It's an evolution thing.
*taking titty skittles. Not really. Kids feel bad because they have glasses, but there are lots of media out that tells them it's okay to wear glasses. Not so for trans kids. Would that make your white fragility an evolutionary thing as well? Are you evolutionarily fragile?
Interesting. I just dove into your posting history. It seems you have no leg to stand on given your bias.
No I'm suggesting that companies need a thickrr Please tell me what is racist about depicting a Chinese man in traditional Chinese clothing eating traditional Chinese food with traditional Chinese implements? I think anyone who sees anything in that as racist, should first ask themselves why they have a problem with traditional Chinese culture? The only way to assume that picture is racist is if your auto setting us that traditional Chinese culture is some how inferior.
Becaus the only way they’re presented is as foreigners. They belong to a foreign culture and do foreign things that are not like us. It sets up the idea that to be Chinese isn’t to be American. Add in racist depictions and you get a generation that thinks less of Chinese Americans.
Oh BS different isn't worse or better it's just different. That's the lesson here not some putrid idiots silly motions about micro aggressions.
Nonsense how you really divide kids is tell them that x is better than y because of his or her skin tone. That's what's being done with white fragility and so called systemic racism.
Here at PF, we read how the left is obsessed with racism. Yet, pretty much all posts about racism are started by members who lean right. The same thing with anything 'woke'. They also seem to be obsessed with transgender issues, jumping on every news item with relevance.
So you divide people... based on what makes them different and say that one is good and the other one bad. Which is exactly what I said.
Wrong it isn't. Again in either case different is neither better not worse it's just different. And the sooner people learn that the better. Note nothing in the text of 'To Think that I saw it on Mulberry Street' says there is anything wrong with the Chinese guy so dressed and doing what he is doing which I seem to recall had him riding a unicycle as he ate, all in all an amazing show of dexterity. All in all the book features a kid with an amazing imagination livening up his walk home. Oh for the days when your kid could safely walk home from school even if he lived in NYC or the South Side of Chicago.
"Back in my day, I wasn't triggered by a black person drinking out of a white fountain, no sirreee. But now a days there's something about seeing a book not being published by a company that gets me all upset!" Now add the two of these together. One race is inferior than the other because one is a foreigner and the other one isn't.
"Back in my day, we didn't talk bad about a person's skin color, but we did treat those with different political values as mentally inferior".
Of course. Because I was one of those youths that was negatively impacted by something like this. Mind you not for race but something similar. And that took a lot of time to undo.
Nothing is similar, you can't help the genetics with which you were born. I got bullied because I was smaller. Put on 7 inches and thirty pounds over the summer of my fourteenth year and I was suddenly bigger than most of the bullies. Some shocked looks that fall I'm telling you...
Yes but you had the idea that wasn't okay because of things like anti-bullying in place. I didn't have a hero until high school because I couldn't even envision myself as someone who could be beautiful.
