This kind of racism is ok here?
- arolihas 2y agohow is this racism
- nar001 2y agoThis isn't racism
- dgfitz 2y agoSomeone mentioned a skin color, must be racist! Man, the internet sucks these days.
- RajT88 2y agoThis has been a right wing walking point for a long time (or more charitably and recently an anti-SJW talking point): Mentioning race is itself racist. I can appreciate the superficial aspect of it - if we're going to overcome racism, we should stop focusing on race. This of course is ignorant to the reality that if we stop talking about race and racism, racism will just go unchecked. Which is of course what (some/many/most?) of those people want.
- dgfitz 2y agoIt is actually even worse, I can't read. Skin color wasn't actually mentioned, just hair color. Unfortunately, I don't think we will overcome racism until everyone wants to overcome racism. More unfortunately, I don't think everyone wants to overcome racism, this seems obvious. The bigger tragedy is, trying to force-feed "don't be racist" to society just makes some people dig their heels in more, making things worse instead of better. Finally, the biggest tragedy of all is how predictable this outcome is, using force and anger as a tool to change the thoughts and actions of a person/group is generally quite ineffective.
- prmoustache 2y agoSince it was written with sarcastic tone I think it is less racism than a testimony of systemic racism.
