Yet more evidence (as if we needed any) that racism is alive and well. I was going to try to be all superior by saying "in the US", but it's not really confined to the US[1]. It happens everywhere where there's any obvious way to do the whole "us" and "them" thing, whether that's skin color, gender, etc.
We humans can be terrible :(.
[1] Plus, I caught myself doing the exact thing I was lamenting. (Not "racism" per se, but still "us-vs-them".)
- weberc2 10y agoWhy is this evidence of racism? It looks like it could equally be anti-male sexism, no?
- lomnakkus 10y agoAre you joking? What's the most obvious explanation here?
- weberc2 10y agoNot joking. It's unreasonable to conclude any sort of discrimination based on a single sample, but if I had to guess a malicious motive, I would pick anti-young-male sentiment over racism. This is probably not very satisfying if you came for a witch hunt.
