I don’t understand what you are trying to tell me?
I see you are making a connection between the color yellow and asian people.
I never see my asian friends and colleauges as “yellow people” - they are people with an asian background/genes. This is also why I feel uneasy when saying “black people” because it’s just weird. Using colors to describe groups of people is weird.
I am honest to you when I say I really picked these two words at random. I never would have thought these words have been overlaid with some meaning in the meantime. To me these words are more or lessinnocent words, like “rap” for “rap culture and music” and “purple” like any other random color of your choice.
Where and when have these words been tainted for general use? Really, can’t anybody have a normal conversation anymore without triple-thought and googling before using a damned word to see if it hasn’t been burned by someone or something?
Okay, thanks, that seems to be a helpful answer.
What exactly qualified as “racist talking points”?
What could specificly be done to be less sucking?
Because sometimes you want to address a group of people by their specific attributes and would find a word for that handy.
That means a word which is not used in a derogate sense but a neutral way.
I am not looking for a slur word here. Someone else said there is a word besides the N-word which is used by rappers, without specifyng this word. So I lookes up a group I know (PRT) that is pro-black, pro-left and see which word they would use themselves and it turns out it’s that other word; which I personally would also not use to address this group.
What is arkward with this?
It is just a random color like any else.
Honestly, I again am lost. Where have I acted as a racist? People really seem to misinterpret me. (waiting for “no, we are not misinterpreting you, you are just a racist asshole yadda yadda”).
Again: I don’t care about color, black, green, blue, white, purple. I don’t care. Treat everyone the same, done. It’s much easier anyway.
