Just saw the post of some dude who said all Germans are racist because they don’t have black people.
People like this just make me cringe. I also know some people who say they will only date a specific ethnicity like only white or only Asian people and I think it’s very weird.
I wonder where this movement started where people overly obsess about this. Can’t we already just treat people for who they are/their personality and not judge them by their skin color and also not prefer some ethnicities over others?
I give this a 50/50 being sea lioning. The reason being I thought this way when I was younger. I’m white and didn’t understand why everything was so focused on race until I was an adult. I don’t care about race that much, but everyone around me did and I thought it was weird. Once I was older and educated, I understood that it’s FAR more complex than my kiddo brain could handle without some education.
Only proving that racism is learned and not something someone is born with
yeah, I’m not really doubting OP’s intentions, I’m just trying to clue them in to how others might see their post so they aren’t surprised if it gets flagged
I think race issues were apparent to me as a young child, but it took the form of feeling insecure and unsure how to interact with racial minority peers of mine in school and so on, not wanting to make them feel uncomfortable but feeling fragile around them and thus accidentally introducing stigma. It was an awful feeling, and something that just didn’t happen with other students.
