The only white people that aren't uncomfortable with objecting to something brown people do are the ones that truly and deeply do not like brown people

Yeah holding people of color to a higher standard than white people on minority issues is like Racism in the USA 101.

edit: or like one of those classes that starts with a 0. 001.

lol no, its holding them to the same standard.

No there are racists that definitely hold minorities to higher standards in a mocking way. You can pretend it doesn't exist but it does. Why would I object to everyone being held to the same standard?

Secular Humanist posted:

Reserving a special, more pristine moral standard only for white people and modifying your principles when the skin color changes is being a racist progressive in the USA 101

Fortunately for me I'm not this strawman you have conjured up out of thin air.

probably because there are people on this forum, and in real life as well, that would suggest that being a minority makes you incapable of racism

I don't know if GBS is the place for unwinding why this is wrong

nah its not complicated. anyone can be racist against anyone else, it's pretty simple bud.

Like many words in the dictionary, there are many definitions of the word racism blah blah blah

And then you just say everyone is racist again and I wasted my time. What a fun game.

It is very important that when a black person says "I loving want to kill all whites" that we call it "racial prejudice" instead of "racism" because nuance and power structures. This will move us forward swiftly.

If anyone brings up the real, persistent effects of structural racism we should playfully act like all racism is equally deleterious to the human condition.

If your point can only be communicated in a 2 hour classroom lecture chances are it's not very good.

lol, i did not say that at all. i said that when somebody is super racist to a white person its still racism

So what? White people run poo poo. That's a fact. It's not as good as it used to be but it's still pretty good.

Secular Humanist posted:

and sure, feel free to tell me what people or laws or institutions are still racist, specifically. dont just say the prison system.

You are actively hostile to the idea so that doesn't sound like a very fun conversation for me.
