Comment on degree in bamf
Ephera@lemmy.ml 5 weeks agoThey’re mentioning the race and gender basically to say “a privileged person”. Having privileges obviously influences your character. And race+gender correlate with privileges.
So, while there’s no direct causation, and us white males who aren’t chumps don’t need to be offended, it’s often good enough of an explanation why a particular white male might be a chump.

It comes from an assumption that a person behaves that way because he’s a white male, and proliferates the assumptions that white males are normally behaving like that.
Should there be a black woman asking the question, this wouldn’t be mentioned, even though the act would be the same. As such, this is a vicious cycle of highlighting bad behavior in white males and then saying “look, they are like that” - something that’s been done in the past to justify racism and sexism towards black people and females.

oh now your other comment makes sense, you think “reverse racism” is real and you don’t like people calling you out on complete bullshit like “Should there be a black woman asking the question, this wouldn’t be mentioned”. fuck you, your performative respectability games, and your shithead nazi kin.

Anything but shitstorm incoming in any of your responses? There is no “reverse” racism, there is just racism and it covers both white oppressing black and black oppressing white. Nowhere in the definition of racism a side is taken. Should be very clear to anyone who wants to approach it from a position of reason.

racism is race discrimination along a prevailing axis of oppression. so yes, being discriminatory towards white people, in a white supremacist society, is “reverse racism”, which is to say “not racism”

Removing things for their comfort but not having spiritual fortitude enough to cop to why they’re removing it. tl;dr revealing how the sausage is made.

Any particular issue with the choice of an instance? It’s a great and welcoming space! Unlike Hexbear…ahem.
