@xBjarnex@srtchc@Loller_Coaster@Twitch@CriticalBard Yes, your point is valid. I have come to realize that the definition of “racism” is really just semantics. What some see as racism, others see it as prejudice and ignorance.
@xBjarnex@srtchc@Loller_Coaster@Twitch@CriticalBard This, “Other forms of racism are modern symbolic racism in which individuals deny the continued existence of racial inequality while contributing to discrimination and aversive racism through in- group favoritism for the dominant racial group” was what I am mostly annoyed about.
@Unkind_nu@ADotFen@Loller_Coaster@Twitch@CriticalBard Good point. I actually have a funny story about “Alaska being a part of Russia.” When I was on exchange in Argentina, I had a host brother (10 years old) ask me if I spoke Russian (assuming that I was from there). He even taught himself a few words so that he could speak to me.
@ch4d3rz@BigSee123 @JWebster49 @Twitch@CriticalBard Did you bother to read the article? But yeah, I can understand your point. I am not saying that what he did was okay because it wasn’t, just to clarify.
@Revised_Daniel @ADotFen@Loller_Coaster@Twitch@CriticalBard Maybe it does, I do not know him. At all. Look, I’m not here to take shit about things he did. I am simply pointing out the definitions.
@Unkind_nu@ADotFen@Loller_Coaster@Twitch@CriticalBard I guess it’s better than assuming that all Alaskans live in igloos, are a part of Canada and dog mush to work everyday. Again, sorry for the over-reaction, you’d be surprised about how serious people are when the say things like what you said in jest.
@Unkind_nu@ADotFen@Loller_Coaster@Twitch@CriticalBard Great! Then why comment? Regardless, I suggest that you use a bit of respect. Sorry for the insult, I’m just pissed that someone mixed up “Alaskan” (someone from Alaska) and “Alaska Native.”
@Unkind_nu@ADotFen@Loller_Coaster@Twitch@CriticalBard Are you fucking kidding me? I am a member of the Doyon Corporation (an Alaska native corporation) where I receive dividends from my shares in that company. You only get these shares if you are at least 1/4 native by blood. In case you’re curious I’m in class C.
@Revised_Daniel @ADotFen@Loller_Coaster@Twitch@CriticalBard I would prefer the use of respect when talking to people who you don’t know. Again, please refer to these definition upon which I have made my arguments (in the thread). Here’s link to that source: https://t.co/lp6UfCPJ9j
