like is it hard not to be racist or something?

[(Anonymous)]

op and i think sometimes it's hard to not come off as racist. sometimes people have good intentions but say things the wrong way. like, i don't think op of page topper thread is racist at all, but obviously did not come across as such, y'know?

they weren't being racist, they were being problematic

[(Anonymous)]

but you understood what i meant right?

[(Anonymous)]

that op didn't come off as racist though. just very naive and she presented it in the wrong sort of format.

nobody has called her a racist, anon. nobody has even implied that she was racist in any way. perhaps you're reading it wrong?

i mean, if you say something problematic or racist and get called out for it, learn from the experience. shit, i'm a poc and i wasn't aware of some other racial issues until recently and i don't expect myself to know everything ever, but that doesn't mean i stop learning about it/trying to become more aware of these issues

i don't think it's hard not to be overtly racist but there are so many nuances to race and privilege that can be hard to navigate, especially for people who haven't been educated about these things. like the "hijab experiment" anons were mentioning earlier, it's without a doubt racist but i doubt those girls were conscious of the way they were erasing the voices of muslim women.

which doesn't mean that people shouldn't call them out on their shit and they shouldn't be held accountable, just that people with good intentions and unchecked privilege can go about things in totally fucked up ways and be none the wiser.

it's racism, ia, but unintentional racism doesn't have the same weight as actual racism or comments like 'white people ain't ever gonna win with pocs'.
people told her and that was the end of it. it was essentially accidental racism
