Guest Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 3 hours ago, Economy said: I dont think we need another one of those threads with 5 pages where the entite point is lost and whole focus is on debating the technical definition of a word even tho everyone in the debate knows full well what the other person is saying in principal @lestyoufall the word racism in a technical basis refers to a systemic kind of opression based on race so by that definition white people cant experience true racism in the western world and ppl get kind of triggered if u dont use that word correctly @March34th but clearly he meant racial prejudice the fact that he didnt use the word in the correctly technical mannor i dont think prevented u from understanding his point in principal Can we leave it at that? Or in another 5 pages yall still gonna go back and fourth agreeing woth eachother in principal but arguing about a words technical application We shouldn’t turn this into a 5 page thread yet you felt the need to comment despite my reply including actual information. Like I literally included a link to factual information. You can even google the levels to racism. Individual/interpersonal racism exists, you can be racist towards any person regardless of their skin color. If you need even more proof of this fact I will include more links to information. This literally isn’t a debate, @March34th had an opinion that was uninformed & I corrected it. Also, no I did not mean racial prejudice. I meant racism. Since you want to get technical, individual racism refers to an individual's racist assumptions, beliefs or behaviours and is "a form of racial discrimination that stems from conscious and unconscious, personal prejudice.” It is racism not prejudice but yes, it stems from prejudice & other things as stated above. 2 years ago I wouldn’t have expected people to know this stuff but since racism has been at the forefront of thought for the past year I fully expect people to educate themselves. Just do it already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoxo Adriana 15,040 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 we really don’t know whether this was racially motivated or not. it sure looks like it was, regardless what we do know is the man is clearly psychopathic and serves as, yet again, another example of how little gun control laws are being taken seriously. i think this situation should still bring awareness regardless if it is a racist attack or not, towards asian hate crimes. it’s literally everywhere and nobody talks about it. hopefully the asian community will have their voice heard just like the black community did last year. my heart goes out to those four women + their families my heart breaks for those affected Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItWasntLaauv 6,392 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I’ve been thinking about this all day, this is so terrible and I’m honestly shocked more people aren’t talking about it. I’ve been hitting up my Asian friends today to see how they’re doing, I recommend everyone do that if you have any. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to twist anything and I'm sorry about every injustice towards BIPOC. But there were milions of white people experiencing everything you described. they were not oppressed based on their race Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartz 12,762 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 People died and you're bickering amongst yourselves as if this is about you. Why not keep the discussion to what steps can we do to avoid this in the future? If you're not discussing that, your arguments become really self-centered and pointless. Sorry in advance for the people I might offend with this post but around the third page was LITERALLY the first time in this thread someone mentioned the victims. How sick is that. I hope the victims find justice. That guy needs to get mental treatment. Praying for the families too. Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
