Who are those "certain people"? And why?
I would rep you if you showed it.
Stove top corn in a good pot in the right oil. Real butter and real salt. And a Sprite over ice.
Well. She is crazy.
Anyway. When i was in 3rd grade I had friend from church who was black. He and I were the only kids our age so we kinda hung out. I don't recall talking much about race except how to get to his house without getting beat up. At a pot luck or some other social event where people eat, that ******* threw some chocolate pudding at my face and said, now I could go to his neighborhood without getting beat up. All the stodgy old hags at pot luck and you'd think someone would have brought some tapioca.
Ideally that's true, but in the real world it's at least a little true in practical terms. Stereotypes get set into people's minds for a reason. Often because of the behavior of many, or just a few. Of course you can't extrapolate the behavior of a few or even many to an entire race. Skin color has almost nothing to do with it. But only almost. In cultures where race is tightly coupled with the cultural behavior, those stereotypes become more accurate. It's obviously the culture that makes it accurate, and that's kinda what I thought Ziggy was saying. A lot of the examples were cultures, not races. The race part isn't as important as the culture part, but because the culture is so tightly coupled to race, it's just too easy to make it about the physical features of the people who are predominantly that culture.
There's a reason my friend and I both knew I'd get beat up if I was seen in that neighborhood. Was it stereotyping? Yeah. It was an accurate one too, and we both knew it.
BTW, I just remembered an example of hearing the kinds of talk that you said was soft racism. In college, for a while I had two room mates. A black guy and a white guy. We all all got along pretty well. Partied too hard. Grades suffered. Whatever. The black guy, didn't really hang out with other black people. He hung out with mostly white people. Sometimes the white guy would say things like you asked about. One time, he said something in a joking way, but it was pretty racist, I won't say what it was. It wasn't funny. Then 20 years later he called me out of the blue just to catch up. He at some point during the conversation he mentioned, "the 'n-word's around here have a real chip on their shoulders." Now, I've heard that same thing said in the South before. I didn't know exactly what was meant by it. But I'm pretty sure it's racist. It seemed pretty clear back when we were roommates, he tolerated the black guy because he "acted white". That's hard racism. There was an underlying assumption on the white guy's part that he was superior.
AOC is full of ****. She said people might be racist and don't know it because we don't educate people to know the subtleties (paraphrasing). That's the standard line "micro-agression" nonsense. It may be true enough that a lot of people who are racists deny they are. But saying the "n-word" around here have a chip on their shoulders is overtly racist. That's not soft racism. That's not just a micro-agression. When someone says, "hey, you're all right because you act white." Dude, that's not soft. You can still be friendly to someone and yet be a racist towards them.
I'm confused - we're constantly picking on Elizabeth Warren, and her Native American claims, but you're willing to give Dolezal a pass? Why? Just to argue against Kut?
Doesn't the fact that she overtly claimed to be black suffice?
Tangent: This argument made me think of this:
Dolezal was an example of literally reverse racism.
I figured this was your drink of choice.

Hold on there my friend....reverse racism is not a thing. I learned that right here on Ingo. I got chewed on real good for saying that.
But yes, I see it a lot.

Eh. There's probably a good purpose for that. Does it seem to explode nicely when shot? Might make a good target. Hope it has a diet version. Diet sodas seem to attract ants less when you shoot them.
In this PC screwed up mess we (Whites) have been labeled the oppressors. We are the only group/culture/whatever capable of being racists. It is the current narrative. So apparently when we are treated in the same fashion with contempt/name calling etc it is OK because it is not the same thing. The term reverse comes from that treatment/action being turned around on us us meaning whites.
Now this is a very loose way of describing this but the base meaning is in there.
This whole topic is a hot spot for all of us. The term Racist has been weaponized by people to beat down the opposition when nothing else works.
Yeah. When people say "reverse racism" they mean black racism against white. But that's not what it would literally mean. And I'm using literally in the correct sense of the definition. Literally "literally", if you will.
Pretty much.
Yeah. Since racism is thinking one race (usually your own) is genetically (for all intents and purposes) superior to another, would not a reverse racist think his race is genetically inferior? Like those pathetic individuals apologizing for their whiteness in a kind of perverse Stockholm Syndrome
Something I have seen.
We have a mixed area. Whites (a couple of us anyway) blacks Hispanics and other cultures. The terrorists (see avatar) go to the local indoctrination center with the kids. There are times when we have 4 or 5 different colors of kids in the back yard. Swimming. Hitting the trampoline. Having a ball on the big fort/swing set I built for them. There is seldom if ever an issue between them. Maybe fighting or one of the swings but not much past that. They all have a blast regardless of where they come from. There is no racial jealousy's. No predetermined notions. Just laughter and play. And the language barriers are easily overcome. I cant keep up but it means so little to them.
Ages range 3 to 12 years old in varying degrees. They are not yet tainted by the idiocy that is "Adults"
They could give a rats behind. There are many lessons to be learned here.

No that's not true. Don't take the opinions of the media talking heads, and those who see their views as gospel, as being representative of everyone who is non-white. Black people, Hispanics, Asians, can be just as racist, and more so than the biggest white racist you may currently know.
