In this discussion it's been about blackface.
Mikes examples above also fit the bill.
Not sure if this is directed to me specifically or just people in general, but I have not once said I am offended by what happened with the kid. You don't need to be personally offended to recognise that something is offensive to others.
OK fair enough, the response was short and dismissive. For that I apologise.
For using the term white privilege, I totally disagree. Judgemental? It's more like the opposite of that. Uneducated?

Do you agree ethnocentrism is a big problem in the inability to curbing racism in society? Can you not see how they are intrinsically linked?
For you or anyone:

I think gender and race privilege is a lot less arbitrary than class privilege but they are often all closely interlinked any case.
Sure it's not as bad as it has been historically, but that does not mean it is gone completely. Look at what's happening in the US currently, or in our own prisons.
To put some questions out there to everyone, knowing that certain actions are offensive to large groups of people, why is so hard to stop doing them or defending these actions? Should we not just take that on board and simply modify our behaviour? I mean isn't that what you would do if someone told you something was offensive to them? What's the big deal if you can't paint your face black anymore? Are we now in a place where this behaviour is carried on and defended just to make a point that we won't be told what to do?
It just makes me so sad that it seems like nobody even cares.
Goodnight
