So all questions about ideas are racist on some level? Doesn't that then make racism meaningless since I could say that questioning any belief whatsoever impacts some race that commonly holds that belief?
- kristopolous 11y agoI was talking with the explicit context of victimhood. The idea here, which is a few steps removed, is that any kind of indiscriminate prejudice against any group at all is problematic ... it's the prejudice that's the problem. Nothing really groundbreaking other than for the specific insight that the targeted group is impossible to isolate. Bystanders are integral to conflict.
- crusso 11y agoindiscriminate prejudice But the key word there is "indiscriminate", since by definition you can't target criticism properly ever if you're indiscriminate. the targeted group is impossible to isolate Not when you're talking about people who self-select by claiming belief in certain ideas. It's not at all like generalizing based upon race.
