Aut DENTARI YERBA MATE it MOD. 17 hr. ago Stickied comment edited 26 hs ago 24 &14 More Thinking this is racist would be an example of white fragility. White fragility is when white people are confronted with the effects of institutional racism and their own subconscious racist beliefs and actions and see being checked like that as a personal attack on their core identity. Instead of engaging in introspection people can become angry at the person who tells them that their actions or words amount to a microaggression. White fragility is when people conflate having said something unflattering about them or about white people with racism and equivocate that with the lived experience of black people. Black people face actual racism in their day-to-day lives on a constant level, causing them to pre- emptively alter their speech and behaviour to try and mitigate the racism affecting them. Part of the category error that often exists in our thinking about this is that we tend to cling to a simplified explanation of racism that we were taught when we were very young. In pre-school our parents explained to us "racism is when you are mean to Jimmy because he's a different colour than you. It is a bad thing." This is a simple explanation, easy to understand, but like many entry-level explanations it is a good introduction to the concept while at the same time being wrong. An atom is not really the miniature solar-system we were taught to think of it as in high-school. It is a cloud of probabilities, more like. But to get to that better understanding the solar-system model is a good stepping stone. Racism is more complicated than what we were taught when we were young. It's not just being mean to Jimmy. It is also jimmy being held back from participating on an equal level in society due to ancient rules, laws, models, ways of thinking, structures, all designed to hold him back. Economic- Right Racism requires power as well as prejudice. Since racism is institutional, pervasive and affects all levels of society it can not really be said that calling white people a mean word is on the same level as a racist slur. A racist slur perpetuates racist stereotypes and systems. A mean word leads an to hurt feelings and nothing more. We are all racist. It may be difficult to admit to that and it may not be something we want to believe of ourselves. But all of us white people, even the ones who make a conscious effort not to be, are to some degree racist.
