“We have a small racism problem in this country. We have a medium-sized perceptions of racism problem. Mostly, we have a huge race-hustle ideology problem.”
Does that apply here too?

"...small racism problem ..."?

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
It is not a small problem for those who experience it. Having a broad perspective is all very well, but we experience life as individuals. Homophobia was a small problem - getting smaller, but very major for those who experienced it directly.
ReplyDeleteWe can disagree about the size of the problem - and you're correct that your perception of how big the problem is often influenced by whether you personally experience it or not.
DeleteBut we should all be able to agree that whatever the size, an over-reaction that creates bigger problems elsewhere than the original problem is undesirable.
