ReturnOfFa posted... b) a white person and a black person saying the N-word is different cue laugh track Context is irrespective of race. ReturnOfFa posted... Historical context. Maybe you should focus on actual context. ReturnOfFa posted... It is different when a Chinese person discusses a racial slur against their people in a group than when an English/American/Canadian/Australian white person decides to use that slur. There is an inherently different dynamic, due to historical context. That's not historical context, that's ACTUAL context. Discussing a slur and its impact is the same irrespective of race. Deciding to use the slur against an individual or group is the same irrespective of race. The claim that a racial slur isn't racist just because the person is of that race is just so profoundly fucking ignorant that one hardly knows where to begin criticizing the stupidity of that claim. The underlying assumption is that somebody can't be racist against their own race, which is just flat-out wrong and -- since you love bringing up "historical contexts" -- there are PLENTY of historical contexts backing up the idea of people being racist against their own race. Seriously, fucking educate yourself. Even today there are widespread issues where people are racist against their race, including discrimination among blacks based whose skin is lighter or darker. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:950292303] in 27 y/o Cou...
