As society, humanity still lacks a proper vision and far away from calling a modern society.
Same problem persists under different disguises e.g. Gender based policies, religion based policies, cast based policies, region based policies. You name it. There are people who suffer for being in minority and then there are people who take advantage of being in minority.
- Why only black lives matters, what about white people, asians and many others? Why do we scare to say 'all lives matter' ?
- Why only 'lets girls to get code', what about boys and trans ? Why do we scare to say 'lets get everyone to code' ?
- Why do countries identify themselves with a single religion ? Why can't we respect the all religions ?
In this well connected world, the price of being politcally incorrect could be huge. People are so scared to say right things and get shunned publicly. We should not create our policies based on phobias, stigmas and to allur particular votebank, but for universal integration.
Let's have first right vision. It needs a real courage to say the right things and more to do the same.
- itronitron 6y agoThe answer to your 'why' questions is that there are (and were) exclusionary behaviors and/or tactics that either actively prevent or passively discourage those minorities from participating.
- runarberg 6y ago> and then there are people who take advantage of being in minority I honestly don’t see this as a problem. So what if a person gets a little privilege just because they belong in a minority? What bothers me is the more common case of privileged person taking advantage of their privilege. > Why do we scare to say 'all lives matter'? Because I always hear “all lives matter” said in response to “black lives matter”. To me that sounds like you are discounting my previous statement, as if it’s not entirely sufficient, that black lives matter. “All lives matter” is something that people also say. e.g. I hear animal rights activists say that all the time. Even the very same people that say “black lives matter” in an anti-racist rally are likely to say “all lives matter” in an pro-immigration rally, pointing to the fact that many immigrants suffer preventable deaths on the migratory routes. > In this well connected world, the price of being politcally incorrect could be huge Good. If I say something that insults a lot of people I would like to know about it, so that I can know better in the future. I hate to be the one that speaks like an idiot and never gets corrected.
