One time our class is taking group picture at somewhere rather dark. I half jokingly said "you're so dark, will you show up the in picture?" to our lecturer, can't remember his race, I think he's Indian.
And a classmate say I'm racist. Which puzzled me at that time. It wasn't until years later I realised people think this is racist.
Imagine if it's a baby that make a "racist" comment, do we think it's racist?
I know we're coming at good heart when we said other is racism and then should stop doing so. But at the same time, sometimes I also wonder between that makes racist common (especially unintentionally) vs the one think it's racism, who is more racist.
That comment would definitely be insensitive at the very least. Not sure what you're talking about with the baby stuff but this is all going way off the topic of the chapter.
How is it insensitive? Someone's skin is a colour that makes them difficult to make out from a dark background and that is mildly amusing. What exactly is "insensitive" about that? Acknowledging that they have dark skin? What's wrong with dark skin? Do you think having dark skin is like having a massive scar across your face and you're not allowed to acknowledge it without their consent?
This is exactly what I meant earlier when I said people projecting their racism sensitivity onto non-racist things are problematic. They are creating problems where none exist because they're so sensitive to the possibility of a problem that they pre-emptively aggressively attack people as if they've been caught actually committing some crime when all they did was act like a person would if they're not racist.
All you're accomplishing is making people angry and worried, most likely pushing them further towards an extreme opinion in one direction or the other.
(See the absolute nutjobs like girlswhokiss above, who honest-to-god doesn't accept that "misogyny" has a reversed equivalent concept.)
Yeah, I'm personally holding every single yuri author at gunpoint so they write things the way I want. Sono is trapped in my room right now for writing an one-shot that had a detail that bothered me a little. Be serious lmao, if you really think what I'm saying is against the rules, you're more than free to post about it on the FAQ, Help, & Suggestions thread and the mods will discipline me accordingly! But you're not the only person with the right to discuss things here, and you don't get to dehumanize me by calling me a "mob" and yes, calling me insane for seeing things that supposedly aren't there.
Consider your life experiences aren't the only ones and you don't know shit about systemic oppression.
Nice made-up hyperbole of what I said, try connecting with reality for a second.
I want the ability to report you because your posts are outrageously inflammatory and hateful to the point of delusion, aggressively attacking people with accusations of "racism" for something as ridiculously innocent as "submissive partner is dark skinned, that is racist because it implies black people are submissive."
