so relevancy to modern issues/personal perception on the severity of atrocity to minorities becomes your guide for what constitutes racism and what doesn't?
if I'm understanding correctly, since head-tax was not life-long and those who suffered are mostly gone, I can start disrespecting those with similar genetic makeup as me and maybe their ancestors by calling them slant-eyed motherfuckers non-chalant?
it's tone-deaf for this forum to mock feminism and its hypocrisy yet feel it's perfectly okay to be desensitized/normalized by media that throws around the N-word and whether you can use it or not depends on your pigmentation
I try not to see colour and people can say whatever the fuck they want...just don't cry wolf when others post denzelWashingtontrainingday.jpg or belt out Kendrick's lyrics word for word
and you? did you grow up on the gritty streets on the south side of Chicago and fought among the Kamikaze pilots in Okinawa? how about you stop labeling me as privileged like some blind SJW? I have worked with the local indgenious population quite a bit in my spare time but I'm not gonna pretend to be some pundit on the matter who's lived in Willams lake for half my life but please continue guessing my exposure and background..the irony rather cute
either way we don't have to agree with each other
but you're really gonna try and be convincing that those are not double standards?

Internment during a war isn't right, but it =/= a lifetime of oppression.
The fact you don't even know that indigenous people DO call each other by names within their own communities that they would consider racist if YOU said it to them shows how out of touch you are. Notice something in common between natives and blacks? They're the only 2 races that have suffered centuries of oppression by white people. Interesting huh? They'll stop talking about it within their own communities when white people stop oppressing them. Some might say they're both too fucked that it can't happen, maybe that's true, but who fucked them in the first place? You called it the standardization of a "disgusting" word....... bro... you just do not get it... it's not a disgusting word to THEM. See what happens when you stop thinking only from your own privileged perspective for a second? Wow.
It's painfully obvious to everyone thatou have ZERO firsthand knowledge of anything you're talking about, therefore everything you're saying is complete conjecture. Tell me I'm wrong? I know I'm not, because it's clear you've never immersed yourself in any of these cultures or spent any time in their squalor.
At the end of the day though, who are you to tell another race which words they can or can not use to communicate and identify with one another because it makes you uncomfortable and you don't get to use it too?
