that thing white ppl do when they disparage 'white ppl'

ouch

guess ill ask a mod to delete those 3 posts

tbf, roberts' bit is even less fresh

he doesnt really do "fresh"

max's mind not working in an original fashion since he put that Mets ski cap on.

feel justified by these totally conclusive poll results

you are like my dad's favorite supreme court justice of all-time

Please point me to the speech(es) where our esteemed chief justice advocates a single-payer universal health care system, a system of assured basic income for all US citizens, and public education with guaranteed class sizes of 20 or fewer and extra tutorial assistance for all who need it, as a method for erasing class inequalities, and I will gladly accept the great similarity between us.

please explain how affirmative action plants seeds of racism

Regardless of how good you are at what you're doing, certain people will say you only got the job due to affirmative action with the assumption that you are taking the place of a m ore qualified white person in order to fulfill a quota.

This is why I was against affirmative action for many years; I didn't want bigots to think that I wan't actually that much better than them. Later on, I realized that affirmative action gave me an even better opportunity to make bigots crazy since I could take opportunities that, in their minds, I wasn't qualified for, then be way fucking better than them at it.

You seem to think this statement will clearly discredit me and make all your foolishnesses in this thread go away? OK. I'll play with you on that one.

The current approach to affirmative action "plants seeds of racism" by legitimizing and institutionalizing racial categories that have been thoroughly discredited, and which unavaoidably are tainted by thier racist origins. They make racist thinking more credible, by bolstering something that underpins the entire structure of racism and which has no rational basis in reality.

How easy is it to convince a white racist that there is no such thing as a "white race", when he has ticked off dozens of checkboxes on dozens of offical government forms that more or less force him into this category? Indeed, that require him to declare this bogus "fact".

the premises of your argument are faulty. for one, racial categories haven't been discredited. they've been criticized, for reasons i've explained upthread, but like i said, there's not currently a better approach to obtaining that data. for another, racial categories aren't racist. categories can't be racist. they're categories. they can only be incomplete or inaccurate.

Shall we recapitulate our entire positions once more? Or just declare that we are talking right past one another. It is plain to me from your comments that you have entirely failed to grasp my point. Let us agree that this is due to my horrendous failure to make my point clear.

In return, I shall overlook the fact that you seem to believe that I am advocating a position I do understand, do not condone and find exceptionally bigoted. And you seem impervious to even considering that you have made an error in judging my ideas, but would prefer to pin me down to finally admitting that I think that which I don't think -- a rather futile effort, allow me to suggest.

outlaw the continuation of active discrimination based on group identity, and to enforce this.

i am trying really hard to figure whether "active" discrimination is opposed to "passive" discrimination or wtf this means even

Try this: it is hard to outlaw inaction. Actions, however, are a bit easier to identify.

hey aimless u idiot race isnt a fiction, its a BIOLOGICAL fiction

it is very much a social reality

no no it's not that he's an idiot, it's that he's failed to make his point that being asked to select one or more races from a list of races, is racist

the dissolving of race as a social formation will be as protracted and contingent on external forces as its construction was. you can't just decide that society will be colorblind now bc even like the choice b/w an affirmative action type solution or not only reveals that racism or its effects is inherent in so much social policy and categories that to suddenly remove it would still require the re-articulation of those categories, but i mean, its pretty hard to know what a race-blind social formation would even look like so you really just have to try shit out maybe

deej don't apply extreme constructivist positions to race just because anthropogenic categories apply strict determinism to a genetic continuum

the language of describing that variety may be flawed and we can wish it was done away with altogether but it isn't entirely fictive

aimless is talking in a self-admittedly utopian way, the failure of his program would probably be that purging the language of race won't make it disappear in the collective unconscious, most likely the pathology will resurface as it does in political codewords like 'welfare moms'

socialist countries have traditionally had a crappy record in racial equality despite their rationalized approach to it (ussr, cuba etc)

that first sentence scans terribly ;_;

yeah I was head scratching over that

"we need to do away with the concept of race" strikes me as a pretty "white" thing to say tbh (read: racially privileged)

I'm amused ppl think 'white-on-white' humor is a development of the last decade.

I knew exactly what that was going to be before I clicked on it.

I feel like this is sort of a "lol white ppl" from 1956:

(Although I guess it's not explicitly directed at white people, so never mind.)

The unfortunate thing about the Midnite Vultures era was watching white kids dancing to "Sexx Laws."

*said girl was a white, college grad whose parents are missionaries

btw, I love that the 4 lowest-placing options are: cool, endearing, thought-provoking, amusing

like if you told somebody "that thing you just said was neither cool, nor endearing," etc etc
they would probably feel pretty bad

this list is a good mix of white ppl i've never heard and token rap/r&b - toughie

Lifting the White Veil. Is interesting and useful from a dialectical viewpoint....it lists these cultural biases in concise lists - stereotypical "white" stuff like "don't show too much emotion". Only problem he uses terms like "white culture" which, if you use a lot of internet, call to mind scary white racist web pages.

I think the author is really sincere about what he is doing - he works with a "diversity consulting firm", advises workplaces on cultural sensitivity. It's important to call attention to biases, while being aware that not every member of a racial group participates in or identifies with these biases.

you don't understand, "any other white person" is the name of my post-chillwave project!

(also what's written in my facebook's "interested in:" field)

amusing was robbed

that thing whine people do

in all seriousness, though, as much as nabs covers the main thing that's odious about that stuff, one of the other things that i find obnoxious about white people using "white" as an insult is the otherizing of your own race, like 'oh i'm white but it's okay i listen to rap and watch chappelle's show, that guy is WHITE white' which is just like a more passive way of pulling some 'black on the inside' bullshit.
