12755486, What does post racial mean any damn* way?
Posted by DaHeathenOne76, Wed Mar-18-15 01:44 PM
What are we supposed to become this big ole grey blob of sameness.

I like being Black and knowing Latino, Asian and white people exist.




Not being hostile towards you, just talking that way.

That's a good question

I always assumed it meant beyond racism ( not judging based on
color) but honestly I really don't know

Posted by Musa, Wed Mar-18-15 04:24 PM
because it says otherwise.

Chinese are nationalist

Xenophobia and racism are not the same.

Arabs are mixed people who since white is winning globally rank the whiter Arab closer to better.

India = caste system of whiteness Europe however it was caucasian invaders who implemented the caste system.

Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Wed Mar-18-15 11:11 PM
Racism, colorism and other forms of xenophobia will never die because 1) you can't will out of existence something that exists and 2) there will be divide-and-conquer tactics for the rest of time.

But I do think we can get better at understanding, recognizing and opposing such deplorable tactics.

Posted by bentagain, Thu Mar-19-15 08:01 AM
at this point, I think it's safe to assume that the majority of families in the US have some minority race represented in their tree

or at least mixed

that is to say, the larger problem with alot of these issues that are gaining attention recently

is the attitude of; them

it's something that happens; over there

i.e., until these injustices touch people directly, as unfortunate as that is, they won't care.
12756122, I think it happens in small groups where ppl know each other intimately
Posted by Cocobrotha2, Thu Mar-19-15 08:18 AM
Especially when those people have deep relationships with others of your race as well.

I think it's harder to just settle into stereotypes about a person's race if you know them well as an individual and understand why they, as an individual, act he way they do.

At a national/society level? I don't think so. We're just too big and diverse a nation to not rely on some false generalizations about people.
