Would I get in trouble if I said every single gay person I know is either racist or self hating? Wish it weren't true but it is.
Probably, because it's a stupid thing to say. However it might be true...after all it's the ones you know - so you're not saying they all are, just ones you've got to know.
I mean I'm gay, I don't consider myself racist and I don't think I hate myself. Some call me sociopathic though....:P
Yeah, I think it's a commonly held (ignorant) belief that if you're a minority (sexually or racially) that you're all on the same leftist page, working together, when that's totally inaccurate. It just shocks people more, I guess... While being black or gay may give you a different perspective on specific issues that affect you differently, most people don't base their whole identity on just one trait.
I don't know any non-hetero or non-white people that seem to hate themselves. They just let their flags fly, so to speak, and that's how it should be. Repressing normal feelings is about the least healthy thing you can do. The two most prejudiced people I know are coincidentally both part of different minority groups (a guy dude and a brown guy who hate all Muslims), but in both cases it's totally unrelated to their respective statuses.
What I meant by self hating is non whites with internalized racism who self deprecate and put whites on a pedestal. ---
It's not the end of the world, but we can see it from here.
