DemeLarell 931 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Im not defending her but if it smells like curry then it smells like curry. She mentioned no ones race. And its passable for her because we expect rude comments from her. Not because she is black. Please dont generalize people bc of physical characteristic. We cant get away with racism either. Chill out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewStevens 5,249 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 3 minutes ago, Haroon said: I don't really see racism Complaining about a smell is complaining about a smell, she doesn't mention anything to do with a person's race, and the "not even trying to be racist" thing seems to clarify that it's not about what ethnicity the driver is, not to excuse actual racism (which it is sometimes used for ) I don't think she was trying to be racist but the tweet does alludes to a certain race. Curry was originated in India and it's the most distinguished element from Indian cuisine and culture. Some offensive slangs people use towards Indian people contain the word "curry" just like "beans" is used for Mexicans. Many taxi drivers in NY are Indian. So it only takes a few seconds to realize why even she thought that it would sound racist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can see why the tweet can ring a problematic bell I don't think the tweet goes far enough to actually be racist though, I mean you can complain about a certain thing without it being a comment towards all of the people of the race that it originates from.
