Re: My problem with minority activists

[fierceawakening.livejournal.com]

Hey, I just want to thank you for answering so thoughtfully and tell you I appreciate your willingness to put all this personal stuff out there to explain your feelings to me. I appreciate that a lot.

And wow, yeah, that pain scale stuff is just *weird.* I can imagine there being cultural differences in how people talk about their pain, but leaping wildly to conclusions like that is ridiculous and, as you say, quite possibly dangerous. And even if she thought it, she had no reason to saddle you with her "wisdom," like you'd appreciate hearing it! Gack.

And I totally get you wrt the idea that people see POC as a monolithic group. I know I've made that mistake, and I've seen the same thing happen with respect to disability as well. People assume that the one person they know has The Truth and that's it and they never have to pay attention to or think about why someone else might feel differently from their buddy.

Hell, look at yesterday's post. Someone said that they were SE Asian and that they Avatar movie offended them and at least one comment accused them of lying about their race.

I hadn't seen that. Wow. Yuck!

a friend tried to get me involved in a discussion of Affirmative Action by saying, "Don't you hate AA?" I open my mouth to respond, but she keeps going. "I mean, don't you feel bad knowing that the only reason you're here is because white people feel sorry for you?" She turns back to the other white people in the group. "Only whites like AA, because it appeases their guilt. Real Spanish (her term) people think it's insulting."

Yikes. Yeah, that's really icky. (And FTR, I was given an accessible room in college that I didn't feel I needed and that I felt really bad about taking, and I was bitter the whole time that I'd been given it because I asked to be in the usual lottery for a slot because I did feel that they were giving it to me for reasons I didn't like, so yeah, my personal opinion on such things is complicated. (FWIW, despite that emotional reaction then, my considered position on whether things like AA should exist is "Yes.") But preempting your chance to talk about your own opinions by presuming you should feel insulted is gross. WTF.)
