Are you a racist? Warning signs

Yes I get it.

It’s all racism. I am married to a minority, with half minority kids, have many minority nieces …

Yup!

Cool story. But thanks for acknowledging your pitting.

:ok_hand:

Why would this mean you weren’t racist? If people of color can be racist, then marrying one doesn’t make you not racist, either. Even if you aren’t racist towards the specific minority you are married to, there are other minorities. I mean, ZPG_Zealot. a Rom, seems to be racist towards black people, for example.

It seems to me that, if you must argue you aren’t racist, then you need to rebut the accusation that what you said was racist.

As it is, you’re arguing a bunch of pretty ignorant stuff about race. You’re pushing the idea that equality of opportunity has been achieved.That doesn’t make sense if equality of outcome hasn’t been achieved beforehand. If not, then people of color are starting from a worse position than others, and thus do not have equality of opportunity. Equality of opportunity means starting from the same baseline. Refusing to accept this despite the data staring you in the face can be a sign of racism.

You’re also trying to argue that there are aspects of white culture that are inherently successful, when there are not, because success cannot be objectively defined. There is nothing exclusive to white culture that is successful. There are just values that white people have and see as success, which may or may not agree with what other cultures deem success. And the whole requirement of diversity and multiculturalism is that these different criteria can exist side by side, and not have one that dominates the other.

It all fits under just world hypothesis bullshit, where the problems minorities face are their own fault, while ignoring what the majority have done to them and how it would affect them. Hell, there’s BLM now–black people have to protest not being treated as criminals by cops and not being unnecessarily killed. That’s not equality of opportunity if black people in a rich neighborhood get assumed to be criminals.

Unarmed black people get shot and killed while armed white people get arrested without being killed. That’s not equality.

Ok!

What I said wasn’t racist.

I’m sure you “totally” meant that as an “Okay” sign. Totally.

LOL!
What else is it meant as?

LOL!
What an odd question. I said I totally believed you. I even used “totally” twice and put it in quotes the first time to make it stand out. How much more emphatic can I be?

:confused:

Oh
Ok then!

I’m not sure you’re a racist, but contrary to popular belief, loving some Black people (or loving some individual minorities) does not give any information as to whether you’re a racist or not. Racism does not imply that one hates every single individual from another race.

No, it totally means that. Similarly, the BTK strangler was married to a woman, so he clearly didn’t hate women. Logic!

It’s often used to show support for white supremacy.

Wait…what?! :open_mouth:

You forgot a couple:

When there is a discussion about a clearly race-based incident, you become furiously defensive of white people.

You give extremely long, detailed, pseudo-scientific explanations for why people shouldn’t be offended by your clearly racist positions are…and not of those reasons are “not racist”.

Max was kind enough to message me the hijacked meaning of the OK sign, so I won’t be using it in the future. But I appreciate the benefit of the doubt, unlike some people who would rather assume I meant something else.

It is that jump that creates the Us vs Them that is easy to rail against (or dismiss). Demonize me and you don’t feel the need to converse.

Oh, fuck off you racist shit.

Still assuming I see.

Have a great day my man.

I really like “I have minority nieces,” as a defense to a charge of racism, like that’s something that was up to you. “I didn’t physically prevent my sibling from fucking a nonwhite person! That proves I’m not racist!”

Nah, the love I have for them proves , to me, that I am not a racist along with me knowing myself and motivations…I personally could give a shit if some random people on the internet think differently, however it colors arguments and it should be disallowed here, but isn’t.

So, knock yourselves out with the accusations.

This! I so agree!
