In reply to the discussion: What should you do in response to racism or a racist comment? [View all]AverageJoe90
(10,745 posts)13. That doesn't seem to be true, from what I've seen.....
Or at least not against People of Color, anyway(which is, of course, a good thing), and I hope the same would also hold for that expressed against "white" folks as well.
Although, then again, one must wonder how the Juries react to trolling overall. I know I've seen at least a few (false) accusations being spread around, that racism is supposedly widespread on DU, etc., from time to time(which it isn't. Even anti-Caucasian racism an anti-Semitism seem to be rare. Anti-PoC racism is definitely close to non-existent, outside of perhaps a few deep-cover trolls.).

Then they deserve to be tarred. It's a racist position to have, regardless of how "popular" it is

"It's a racist position to have" I'm sorry, but that's bullshit. And offensive, too.

Not believing in white privilege is choosing to live with blinders in regards to race
