I'm against segregation so a few of these are me. Colorblindness, cultural appropriation, and "one human race" in particular. But yeah pretty much everything else belongs there
race is real, whether u like the effects it has on things or would like it to not be, it is, and we need to think and act according to that fact. The fact that race is a social construct does not make it any more harmless or ignorable for its victims than a socially constructed tank rolling over you or say a socially constructed police dragging u to a socially constructed prison for not paying your socially constructed debt.
To try to pretend race isnt there and that it does not have an effect on the lives of the people that race was design to oppress IS racism.
Racism is real, not race. Don't shorthand it.
Race is a biological thing and of course it's real. Why can't we just accept that there are different races and be proud of that?
We're one species, and should hold together as one, be there for each other, empathize with each other. But saying we're one race is like saying we all have the same hair color... Why would we act like this isn't real, instead of accepting that it is okay that there are variations?
There are different skin colors, hair textures, nose shapes, etc. That human variation is all real. What isn't real is race. That is to say, these phenotypes don't combine into meaningful or stable categories that reflect some reality outside culture.
Hot damn. I was just about to say that I like the view but it disagrees with biology - then googled it to be sure, and saw that this is actually true. In biology, humans aren't categorized into races anymore. I had no idea! I learned something today.
The way I see it, one's race is something to be celebrated, cherished, and to be proud of, but it should never be the basis for how you treat other people.
I agree with you, but you will get shut down because it hurts the narrative. Those terms will be called "dog whistles" or something stupid like that.
So you're a covert white supremacist?
Lol according to this meme
Same. I know I'm not a white supremacist, but I'm with you on the color blindness and all that.
You can't win with these people. They're racists. I don't even play the stupid game anymore.
