For fucks sake. This sort dumbarse action sets back the cause of equality by a country fucking mile. This stuff happens when you take Dr DiAngelo too seriously and ignore what minorities are saying and just go with your ill informed guilt ridden heart.
Clearly he wasn't saying what is implied. I had assumed that "nà ge" was a slur in mandarin(when I saw the original news report). Its 100% clear from context that its nothing to do with race. Whats more the context is directly linked to the three words he says.
We must strive for equality, We _must_ help wider society by lifting up minorities.
This does not achieve this, in fact it will embolden the dickheads who want to make this a "thing" (SEE! "they" want to undermine us etc etc etc)
- high_derivative 6y ago' who want to make this a "thing" ' Clearly it is a thing, why pretend otherwise? If this were some extremely small minority, it would not have such widespread cultural influence now. It is a thing.
- KaiserPro 6y agoI should clarify: by "thing" I mean "see this is why the [minority] are anti american. lets punish them for not being grateful" I strongly suspect that this decision was not made by someone from the affected minority, so it seems unfair for them to shoulder the blame.
- jjeaff 6y agoI'd bet big money that even DiAngelo would not find that lecture offensive in any way. Nor does she advocate for retribution when unintentional slights happen. In her online lectures, she tells a story of how she offended some Black colleagues by making a silly joke. She apologized and they came to an understanding that the colleague would help keep her in-check when it happens again and they carried on.
