My brain is definitely starting to process "yt" as a racial slur, I only ever get called that when people are trying to dismiss me as bad because of my race
White people thinking that racial slurs work this way is hilarious, I mean I guess it makes sense if you also don't believe systemic oppression actually exists and racism is just defined only as overt racism, aka slurs. Yeah I guess I can understand why you would think this.
I think that using a pejorative term to dismiss or insult somebody based on their race is a racist thing to do. This has nothing to do with my belief in systemic oppression
If you understand that we live in a heavily systemically biased system and operate with that knowledge - the idea of being racially biased against white people is kind of hilarious. Like basically a moot point. Prejudice towards white people is not the same as racism against POC.
It's not moot. It's hurtful. You dismissing my pain as a moot point makes me think whatever system you're operating in is bad.
You can combat systemic oppression and *also* not use racial slurs. It's not that hard.
