Black people will literally bring receipts and screenshots of #racism on this app and people will reply like “wait, what’s soo bad about that? I have the same predisposition to comments or questions like these, does it make me racist?”

YES. If you reply to a concern about racism by centering yourself instead of listening to the person affected, and trying to learn, yes.

@intentionaut I call it "pulling caste" because I see America as not a society but a barbaric rigid racial caste system, which our conservatives are fanatically devoted to and our liberals are fatally clueless of. Pulling caste even subtly (microaggression) is every bit as immoral/anti-moral as outright persecution for "racecrime". I myself have my moments.

(Me: not POC but bullied for not being neurotypical and therefore not "eugenically correct", which makes this my "berserk button")

@dennis_jernberg @intentionaut caste isn’t the correct term. The west definitely does not have a caste system or anything remotely similar to it. That’s actually borderline offensive to Dalits.

@tsumami @dennis_jernberg @intentionaut India is not the only culture to have a caste system.
