(28,151 posts)Are we only talking discrimination then for people due only to skin color? Because as a white woman I haven't been discriminated against (that I know of) for my skin color. My gender, oh yes, there's that. But does it not count because it's *gender* based and not race based? I sometime have a hard time keeping all of the categories that differentiate us straight, since many apply to me.
Here are all of my categories, perhaps you can help me clearly understand who I need to be against and whose side I'm on, etc.?
White, female, middle-aged, divorced, atheist, liberal, working class, straight. I'm sure if I were more enlightened I have other categories that would help with this multi-layer division of society, perhaps you could help me with that? Admittedly I do not put much effort in keeping up with this sort of thing but I like to think I can count on assistance from those who do manage to stay on top of it all.
Thanks in advance for any help!
