in the words of Bahar Mustafa, In order for our actions to be deemed racist or sexist, the current system would have to be one that enables only people of color and women to benefit economically and socially on such a large scale and to the systematic exclusion of white people and men, who for the past four hundred years would have been subjected to block colonization. We do not live in such a system, we do not know of such a history, reverse racism and reverse sexism are not real. tl;dr shut up white boyI, an ethnic minority woman, cannot be racist or sexist towards white men, because racism and sexism describe structures of privilege based on race and gender. Therefore, women of colour and minority genders cannot be racist or sexist, since we do not stand to benefit from such a system.
Sorry, but there's no such thing as "reverse racism"; there's only racism. When people start saying things like "you can't be racist against whites because blablabla", they're only making excuses for their own bigotry. They want to be able to openly hate a racial group without the social repercussions that come with such behaviour.
I will agree the majority of racism is directed toward black people, and the majority of sexism to non-men. But she is basically saying because of the 'current system', SHE is unable to be racist or sexist. They are completely unrelated.
It's also pretty mean and narrow minded, I was expecting much better on Hubski. I, an ethnic minority woman, cannot be racist or sexist towards white men, because racism and sexism describe structures of privilege based on race and gender.
NopeIn order for our actions to be deemed racist or sexist, the current system would have to be one that enables only people of color and women to benefit economically and socially on such a large scale and to the systematic exclusion of white people and men, who for the past four hundred years would have been subjected to block colonization.
tl;dr shut up white boy
Fighting fire with fire may be effective, but you end up with a lot of burnt down buildings.
hmm sounds like structures of privilege to meThese can take the form of social actions, practices or beliefs, or political systems that consider different races to be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other, based on presumed shared inheritable traits, abilities, or qualities. It may also hold that members of different races should be treated differently.[1][2][3]
