Re: Discussion pet peeves

[(Anonymous)]

That's another form of the same issue, in my opinion.

Instead of focusing on what the person is saying, that individual is dismissed because of some factor they can't help (in this case their race).

For me, I just get tired of seeing "you're so-and-so therefore your opinion doesn't matter"!

It's as bad as people who act as though all white people do one thing and all POC do another. Nope - life doesn't work that way.

It's BS. If you have a problem with a person's critique then address that -- not their race/gender identity/sexuality/sex/etc.

Anytime I see someone responding to an argument with "You sound white" I know that it's just going to get worse from there.

Why would anyone even say that?

I mean…I know that racism isn't something you can express towards white people, but you can still be prejudiced towards them.

And saying "You sound X" is like waving a big red flag saying you're a prejudicial asshole.

Because anyone who disagrees with you must be one of the social group you're criticizing. THEY MUST BE.

Obviously people in positions of privilege can have very sheltered world views and I don't agree with them dismissing legitimate issues as just whining, but that doesn't mean that, say, white people can't have a reasonable differing opinion. And if the person who disagreed with you isn't white that just makes things awkward. I just wish that people could remember that belonging to the same social group does not mean you're a hivemind.
