I'm black and I wish folks realized that stuff like that needs to kept behind closed doors. I'm not one of those black folks that tries to twist the definition of racism such that it can never be applied to us. It's ironic that lots of the same folks who talk about "micro-aggressions" are purveyors of them.
- spacemanmatt 10y agoI'm white and I call things white as an insult when they offend me for cultural reasons. There are some behaviors I associate with white people that are unpalatable to me, and I call them out, when I might avoid the cultural call-out to other cultures because a) they are relatively more oppressed than my (white) culture and b) I do not see the interior of that culture all day every day, as an outsider to it; I decline to arrogate myself that way.
