Do you say this as someone from a member of a minority? Because I am a "minority" and I certainly don't care about going out of my way to find this kind of identification.
- intopieces 10y agoAs with anything, there are no universals. Happy you don't need affirmation that "someone like you" can succeed, has succeeded, and matters. I don't want to use my own (potential, theoretical) "minority status" to boost my own argument. That's cheap. Sufficed to say, the demand exists as evidenced by the supply: If no one cared, there'd be no clicks, no Black History Month, and no ongoing discussion about the topic :)
- theoreticalCS 10y agoI guess. I just can't imagine any so called minorities appreciating the assumption that they are so fragile and need special treatment.
- intopieces 10y agoWhy would a person who doesn't require validation in the first place be concerned with the assumption they are fragile and need special treatment? Seems like such a 'so-called' minority is fine either way.
