Subject: RE: BS: How to End Racism From: Kim C Date: 08 Jan 03 - 03:19 PM I think there is a difference between making an observation, and making a racist statement. If I said, "Purple people have a different color skin than me," that's simply an observation. But if I said, "Purple people have a different color skin than me, therefore, they're not as good as me because of their purple skin," that would be a racist statement. In my mind, anyway. Your mileage may vary. |

Subject: RE: BS: How to End Racism From: Cluin Date: 08 Jan 03 - 03:24 PM We're all racists, We're all species-ists. We're all gender-ists. We're all still tribal. It's just the self-preservation and competition instinct gone haywire in today's world where we don't know what to do with our lower-brain instincts most of the time. If only we could recognize it ever time it rears its ugly head and not let it get in the way.... |
Subject: RE: BS: How to End Racism From: Wolfgang Date: 08 Jan 03 - 04:41 PM Kim, I wish it would be that easy, the difference between a racist statement and an observation. "In Germany, criminality is higher among dark skinned people" is as far as I know a true statement and in that sense an observation. But used without qualifications and without background information, it borders to a racist statement and is surely meant as such by some who use it. Wolfgang |
Subject: RE: BS: How to End Racism From: Kim C Date: 08 Jan 03 - 05:23 PM Es ist allerdings eine kleine Unterscheidung. (sorry, y'all, practicing my German. :-) What I think I said was, it's certainly a small distinction.) |
