The latter. Though given the downvotes, I think people are either not smart enough to get it, or too smart and think I don't get it.
No it surely doesn't. Politics can exist with no new science.
I love that you called it the lingua franca.
Why yes, English is the French.
It only means that they see the lgb as still being useful for now. There's no love there.
They're not very bright
I see you don't use slack at work. Everyone is in every channel all the time for no reason. It's madness.
Ew. I almost clicked a Reddit link. 🤮
Mostly /s. Kinda.
I appreciate your intense emotion about the topic of changing terminology. It's hard to wrangle in our feelings when things change.
I completely agree with your last statement. What have you done to accomplish that?
Mandatory social work sounds great. I'd love to spend a year working in the forest service, or even on city cleanup. Paid of course. But it builds love for your neighbors and country to help your community.
Pucker those starfish, it's gonna get bumpy
"it's not that I have different experiences, it's that I'm inherently superior"
Great claim. Why are you generically superior then?
That's not fighting racism. Being not racist isn't the same as being anti racist.
For example, do you think by existing in a capitalist society you're also fighting socialism? How many wars are you winning in your head by doing nothing?
You're doing so little that you can't even stop using words that bother people, even when they said it bothers them.
You have a blessed and isolated life if there are zero words that can cause you emotional harm. This doesn't mean you're strong, it means you're privileged. White privilege, in fact.
As for what I do? I give interviews to minority candidates when when their resume isn't great. And it's been a boon for my company because it turns out they're really talented, but bad at resumes. I also spend time educating my fellow minimally melanated morons on the concept of systemic racism, and why simply doing nothing is not the same as being not racist. Hence we're here.
