This is such an insane false equivalence, especially given Texas’ history of institutionalized racism, I don’t even know where to begin.
- aaron-lebo 8y agoDoes that not fall under "immediately dismissing others experiences"? The thing is, many of us are very aware of that past and will do anything to change it. But also consider that some of it isn't even our fault (my Dad came from Gary, Indiana by way of Illinois). I can't change the past, only acknowledge it, and what I'm telling you is it isn't 1970 here anymore, and many people need to give up stereotypes about places and people the same way they need to do about races.
