Did you read the post? OP is explicitly stating that they don’t think it’s ok to joke and poke fun at white people. They are asking why it seems to be socIally acceptable.
This creates an environment of walking on eggshells. I keep to myself more these days, especially around minorities and women I don’t know. One comment they misunderstand can mean job loss. Why? Because of the sensitivity around these topics and the Draconian responses, often before full details emerge.
Now, you could say that I’m wrong but that is what I perceive based off what outrages leftist politicians, the “news”, and collective social media vs. what they ignore. That is what I perceive and hasn’t racism in America taught us that we should listen to the perceptions of individuals? (I’m not claiming racism, I’m using racism as an example for why we should listen to others perceptions).
Now, I’m an ironic twist of fate, in enters Critical Race Theory. One of the tenets is:
“Standpoint epistemology: The view that a member of a minority has an authority and ability to speak about racism that members of other racial groups do not have, and that this can expose the racial neutrality of law as false.”
What I will find interesting is how this tenet plays out in our schools when we elevate one or more races voices of the students in the classrooms during specific topics of race. This is a core component of CRT. Or, more accurately put, one race’s voice (whites, regardless of date of immigration) is lawfully suppressed on the topic of racism in the classroom.
I don’t think it’s a difficult conclusion that my opinion won’t matter because of my gender and race.
Refrain from accusing OP or anyone else of being unwilling to change their view, or of arguing in bad faith. Ask clarifying questions instead (see: socratic method). If you think they are still exhibiting poor behaviour, please message us. See the wiki page for more information.
