Enlighten people? HERE?! Oh darling, I'm not that naive. Just me saying what I feel like saying.See, right now you feel like a heroic intellectual here to enlighten the ignorant peons.
Is it though? People around here don't see to act like it.You think that realising that individual black people are just as complex and nuanced as individual white people is an amazing revelation and not, you know, so self-evidently true that it doesn't need mentioning.
Which I love disproving by shoveling it down. Can't do that much THESE days because middle aged and breaking down, but....People talk in generalizations because people in the real world think in terms of groups, not in terms of individuals. We are all aware that people are individuals, but people will inevitably notice patterns within identifiable groups like race and ethnicity. And this applies to every group, not just black people. An example: the stereotype that white people can't handle spicy food.
So that must mean no white person can eat spicy food and if you're white, you can't.Sure, not every white person is unable to handle spicy food, but it's widely known that white people as a group are less tolerant of spicy food than other groups.
Right?
That's their problem then. Not mine.It doesn't matter if you refuse to think in terms of group identity, because everyone else does
Again, that's their problem. I'm not dancing along to it.and will continue to do so no matter how much a "we're all individuals, you shouldn't see colour" ideology is pushed upon them.
