how would you feel about turning this into a meme style thing? i'd repost (with credit of course) and add a few of my own in bold. then as friends to spread it around adding a few of THEIR own in bold....it could grow and evolve! thoughts? it's really great as is though, and i'd like to just repost it in general.
That would be great. I'd love to see what other people come up with. I've already thought of some that I've missed. I've already added one to the list, but I can't think yet of how to phrase the other. It is about the way white people respond to the emotions expressed by people of color, where if a person of color is assertive or frustrated they are percieved as "angry" or "over-reacting" and then the white person thinks that that means that they can dissmiss what the person of color is saying.
7) Yes. What of it? It really does happen. Heck, people get killed for being gay here in America...
9) Yes. It's our country now. What part of "sovereign nation" would suggest that extra-nationals ("aliens") can come and go as they please?
10) No, but see #9...
12) No. Good suggestion to check conflicting schedules, but it's no more "racist" to schedule something than it is discriminating against any other group your schedule conflicts with...
14) Not unless they expect me to be educated about their cultures. I only study cultures that interest me.
17) No. I don't try to "save" people. I don't support sexism and homophobia, though.
18) No. I'm not sure how one would have a kid that isn't ethinic... but I'd love to be able to put "N/A" for my own ethnicity, so that's a cool idea

why is skin color specified in so many of these questions? Is it not racist if a black person does it?There are different opinions on whether people of color can perpetrate racism or not. (Waits for the yelling to die down. Thanks.) Under the opinion that racism is prejudice + power, it is impossible or certainly much harder for people of color to be racist, as there is not the power of white privilege to back it up. That argument aside, this list was constructed by a couple of white people. One thing we wanted to do was work on racism perpetrated by our own ethnic group
