Perhaps instead of labeling people as "x, y, and z" much like war propaganda has done through the years, we should try to understand where they are coming from?
- fhood 9y agoHaha, exactly! You know what promotes discourse effectively? Calling people racist.
- sp332 9y agoThe conversations on race I've seen recently have been more about institutionalized racism than personally attacking someone for being "a racist". So if one person advocates for a policy that would disadvantage minorities, someone else might point out that it's racist without ascribing some irredeemable evil to the person.
- StavrosK 9y agoBut you can just say "this will disadvantage minorities" and your point has been made, without even saying "it's racist". Then again, I don't really disagree with you on your larger point.
