Blackberry, I don't know where you get off flaunting inequality, but in my experience it is exactly this behavior that alienates minorities. By playing the race card so frequently, especially where it is unwarranted, you are drawing larger divide between races. that being said, the "pasty people" comment had to do with exposure to the sun, nothing else. You obviously have an issue with Ivy League education. I'm willing to bet you got rejected from Harvard.

The only off-the-cuff remark you're protesting is a single term within the context of a lecture about the Internet. No, it's absurd to say you can learn "volumes about a person's intentions and worldview" based upon one interpretation of a single off the cuff remark. And are you seriously implying that he *intentionally* used that term to reinforce outsider status in "non-whites"? You go on to make a sweeping generalization about how "white people insist on being called white." Utter hypocrisy.

Off-the-cuff remarks speak volumes about a person's intentions and worldview. Also, psychological studies demonstrate that racial microaggressions psychologically and physically harm non-whites by reinforcing their outsider status in functional society. If white people are not the only people with light skin, why do white people insist on being called white? Obviously, I'm speaking to the reinforcement of racial power dynamics and how whites perpetuate race to maintain this power structure.

Oh, and taking one term from the off-the-cuff beginning of an hour long speech about the Internet and implying racism is afoot isn't "reaching"? Pathetic. By the way, "white people" aren't the only ones with light skin, so you've shown at least as much 'racial insensitivity' off hand (I'd say more since, unlike him, you've explicitly made this into a race issue). |
