Sarah , I am not particularly educated with no college at all. I could read your writing all day long. I especially like how outspoken you are. It all makes so much sense. I am not quite sure what the idea is behind the site itself besides the sharing of ideas and social discourse. I do enjoy it though very much at a time in my life where I am in desperate need of a distraction. Thank You.
Oh Sarah, I apologize. I actually agree with everything in your post, and I wrote a vague Twitter-like comment in response, and you were right to call me out on it. The generalization that all white people are racist has affected my own behavior, I feel very anxious about interacting with people of color at times because I fear I will get slapped with a racist tag, and that is part of what I struggle to say about it being detrimental to the type of society we should all seek.
20 years ago, I worked in a very multicultural tech consulting firm. We all got along, worked well together and learned from each other. I feel like there is so much more polarization now.
Thank you for the clarification. And I understand exactly what you mean. As an aside (not related to your comment), I am very happy to have people disagree with me, as long as they are willing to engage in rational discourse.
I was very specific. Your assertion that it "keep us from becoming a healthy multicultural society" is a sweeping generalization accompanied by zero explanation, specificity, evidence, or rationality. That kind of ad hominem attack creates an unhealthy society.
Thank you Sarah. I so wish my daughter and 22 year old granddaughter could understand this. I am astounded by the racism inherent in stating whites are so racist, by nature, that they can't see their racism. Madness

This ridiculous generalization keeps us from becoming a healthy multicultural society.

It seems absurd, doesn't it, that people just unquestioningly accept the most baseless accusations.
I am not a racist! I believe in all people!
Excellent! People are people, the world over.
