(ssshhhhh I can totally sing that low)
(>.>)
so I just spent about an hour getting more and more angry and frustrated at my father because every time I tried to make him realise that racism exists in our society and that he does, in fact, carry certain priveleges as a white person, he counter-argued with stuff about how “in China…” and “the rich Indian families down the street, they’re priveleged, I had to start here with NOTHING” and “all of Europe shouldn’t be lumped in with the British as ‘white people’ because they never held imperial power over other races…”
NO
YOU
ARE
MISSING
THE
POINT
I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT CHINA, I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT INDIA, OR ZIMBABWE, OR SWEDEN, OR ANYWHERE ELSE
I AM TALKING ABOUT THE MOSTLY-HOMOGENOUS, CERTAINLY BEARING A LOT OF STARTLING RESEMBLANCES, ENGLISH-SPEAKING SOCIETY THAT DOMINATES IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND AUSTRALIA, AND ALSO A BIT BRITAIN
oh my god
you have missed the point
you have missed the point entirely
and you are still basically arguing that we shouldn’t care about racism, nor should we be aware of it and of our history and priveleges as white people
because other people do it to!
I hate everything.
Call me Togas. Or Nadia. Neutral pronouns, please: just 'they' will do.
Sometimes I make stupid gifs, and sometimes I write fic. I also blog about Sherlock Holmes sometimes. Quite a bit, in fact.
