As you know, I’m very passionate about talking about these topics.
Try watching the whole thing. I think many of you don’t realize that it’s not just white people that contribute to racism, but those who spout that bs if “I don’t see it”“if it doesn’t happen to me” “if someone isn’t directly using racist slurs at me” that it doesn’t happen. Racism is actually increasing in this world. There are more and more people getting killed because of their skin colour. (and I’m not comparing when the British/French etc etc colonized and raped, massacred indigenous people to what is happening now.) I’m saying that it’s not a myth that people are racially targeted.
They are more people getting slandered on the fact that they were born with a non-white heritage.
What do you guys think?
Also, @Southie doesn’t count since I already know he knows what I’m talking about.
Could people actually watch the video before commenting.
I am interested in evidence that “more and more people are being killed because of their skin color”.
Increased expression of racism doens’t mean much. We are just labeling more and more things as ‘racism’ which used to be labelled as ‘stereotyping’. This could be the ‘realization’ that people are more racist today than they used to.
lol. google yourself please. and why don’t you actually watch the video
Also, no it’s not a “realization” that people are more racist today than they are used to. People were far more blunt in how they were racist. For one, your ancestors were treated like slaves. People who haver darker skin-tones have a much harder life.
If you state something as a ‘fact’, you should be willing to support it.
There has been a time in human history, not long ago, when you were instantly killed if you belonged to Jewish faith. There has been a time (not along ago) when you would be kicked off public transport because of color of your skin.
There has been a time in human history, a little while ago, when you had your tongue cut off because you spoke a different dialect of your language.
If at all, actual racist violence has declined in this world. We are only becoming more sensitive to it.
You didn’t actually read the statistics did you? You didn’t actually watch the video, did you? Then why do you even bother commenting?
It was only RECENTLY that interracial couples could get married. Why don’t you look up internalised racism? Why don’t you watch the video? No matter how much evidence I give you. You will spout, well, back in the day people were thrown into gas chambers.
Well, you know what? Back in the day white people decided that anyone who is not white was inferior… and they brainwashed cultures so much that people actually buy bleaching products for their skin. Just so they can look white.
the point was not the experiment itself, but people who spoke up and shared their experiences. You don’t understand do you? This is a reality. Not some fantasy that millions of people talk about. You don’t want to believe racism exist? Tell that to the PhD holder taxi driver
This is not fair. And in my opinion, nit necessary. Who does a gupshup search before starting a thread. Plus if we had a discussion on this video “ages” ago, that doesn’t mean we can’t have one now. The audience is different. The views may be different.
If the criterion you have provided were to be followed, there won’t be a single thread started. Not exactly the way to foster communication and discussion.
As I mentioned, your line of questioning is fine. I simply don’t agree that if this issue has been discussed ages ago, it should not be discussed.
On your point, I feel we can poke holes in many posts. Especially if the post is making several points.
My 2 cents- situation in the west is improving. Overt racism is not tolerated. Don’t know if there is a rise in covert racism.
Anecdotal evidence - don’t ask for numbers - suggests communal tensions are on the rise in south asia. I can speak to the east of the border after recent elections. With people all of a sudden getting more “proud” of their religion.
