Ridiculous. I think about it all the time. I mentor early-career black and female employees right now, and sponsor on-campus events for groups like NSBE. So don't sit here and assume that because I have a problem with our discussion about equality now means that I don't think about equality, don't support it, or somehow I "sail through life". Did you grow up in a poor family of high school dropouts? Did you go fight in a stupid war so you could do something with your life besides drugs? Did you nearly fail out of college multiple times because you didn't learn how to study when you were younger? Did you struggle from depression for your whole life?
This is the exact kind of bs response that I was expecting from somebody who doesn't really understand what's going on besides whatever the latest outrage article they just read said they should be outraged about.
- selllikesybok 9y agoTo clarify, it's not about you. Poor word choice? My bad. The sailing through life bit was specific to the context of being untroubled by the need to examine ones relative privelege or lack of, and the structures affecting same. Not to imply that not having to think a out these things means life is automatically easy. You can still get cancer, get hit by a bus, etc. ---- You say that if people were not so quick to call out perceived racism or sexism things would be better. I say if people were not so quick to be personally insulted when perceived racism and sexism are called out, things would be better. Did I misunderstand your point?
