newsreader thing seems like a guy saying a sports phrase, but saying that i really don't think dyao is a racist for believing otherwise and hope the court rules against contenderizer here, who is also prob not racist but sure likes to argue about this stuff

DJP otm about normalization; also my guess would be that posters of color on ilx are hyperaware of the races of other posters, just like in the world. i know i make a mental note about it. this is not to blame white posters for anything; it's just to say. WDYLL thread is not the source for my mental database about this stuff fwiw.

haha xp
my point was that people of color have more reason/need to be jaymc.xls about race in general but i shouldn't assume about ilx, i suppose

This thread's bad for me making up racist jokes in my head.
When I get arrested for yelling racial epithets off a building down here, I'm telling you now that I'm going to say it all came from reading too much ILX.
Right. Like, would it have been OK if you were certain it was "just us white guys" talking?

i basically never visit the WDYLL threads, and that's perhaps a mistake on my part. i like the "pure ideas" aspect of internet communication, and maybe i do sometimes allow that enthusiasm to override my respect for difference (i.e., universal white man syndrome). if some raceless internet apparition says something that seems to imply a kind of racism they're perhaps not aware of, i'm tempted to call it out. problem is, there is no such thing as a "raceless inernet apparation", and i wind up sticking my foot in my mouth, as happened here.

oh yeah, it definitely does, as does gender and sexual orientation and lots of other stuff. but they're not always equally self-evident. perhaps especially so where i'm concerned: i was misdiagnosed as autistic when i was a kid, and i've always been a little slow on the social uptake (big surprise, i know).

Yeah, if you pay a little attention, you can pick up a lot without a pic and a biography.
For example, by reading the description to ghettohikes (hint: urban kids (of all races)) and reading a couple pages, I can tell that Mr. Cody is a white dude who is obviously making up a lot of blatantly racist jokes with barely a wink at pretending to be a humble documentarian.
O_o at anyone believing this is in any way innocent kids say the darndest things stuff. (sorry, I assume this was beaten to death upthread based on apologies and whatnot.) </ghettohikes>

here's a really good rule of thumb: never accuse someone of "reverse racism", regardless of their race
― ploppawheelie V (k3vin k.), Friday, 24 February 2012 16:24 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, no, it wasn't "reverse racism", it was hyperawareness of difference = plain old ordinary racism
irony being that my comment was a product of tone-deaf ignorance of difference
