I don't think that's what danieltillett was calling for at all. Rather, I think he was arguing for not letting group-level categorisations - such as gender or race - totally dominate over and blind us to attributes of individuals that may differ from what we would expect from our preconceived stereotypes of groups. Because when we do that with race, we do recognise that as racist - maybe not when the race in question is white, but in other cases, yes.
- danieltillett 9y agoYes that is exactly what I am saying. We should be viewing people as an individuals first and as a member of a group second. Almost all of us do this with people we know well, but many of fail to do this with strangers or opponents.
