cultural racism

(Anonymous) 2016-04-28 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
I realised I'm a cultural racist and I'm not sure it's bad. Some cultures are terrible. However google says it's still racism. Any thoughts?

stop with the troll threads you're so damn spammy

(Anonymous) 2016-04-28 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
nah, I'm not the troll. I didn't express myself properly but I truly found out what cultural racism is today. Well, yesterday in my time zone. FS probably isn't the best place to ask though. Idk.

isn't cultural racism simply another way to say xenophobia?

I mean, there's a difference between disapproving of, say, child marriage and being all like, "my culture is the best and also all the people who did good were white, and Egyptians were white too lol"

It's a hard line to walk.

I think a few things to keep in mind are:

1, criticizing the specific elements of a culture, more than the people within it
2, being aware of the context and history and structure of a culture, not just surface elements
3, trying hard to be fair-minded and not knee-jerk-y

I think a few things to keep in mind are:

1, criticizing the specific elements of a culture, more than the people within it
2, being aware of the context and history and structure of a culture, not just surface elements. and also the relations between cultures.
3, trying hard to be fair-minded and not knee-jerk-y, and also be aware of the beams in your own eye, you know - there are no cultures that are free of problems. i think it's really important if you are going to criticize cultures to be extremely scrupulous about making sure it's not covering for a deeper bigotry.

I think if you do those things, it's doable. certainly i don't think cultures are beyond critique.

It seems weird to me that any culture would be terrible, full stop. Like, nothing is good about it at all? The food, the art, the language, the clothes, the creation myths... Nothing?
