i think american-centric is a better term people who say stuff like ‘only white people can be racist’ are at best, generalizing based on the history of race relations in america you couldn’t say that if you were from e.g. china or rwanda
Maybe we should tell people trying to project their extremely US-centric ideas of how the world works on to the rest of the internet to check their US privilege.
I actually take this thread: https://twitter.com/sharanvkaur/status/1160216826770386944?s=20 … As evidence that the US has already successfully colonized most of the world (contrary to what the thread says about RACISMBAD).
For the record you can always do brownface and say you're parodying me, not an entire race. You can then send your critics directly to me.
I do think there's a certain defensibility to the idea that "racism" is a term of art that was coined in a particular US American racial context and shouldn't be generalised outside of that context, but I'm not sure anyone consistently holds that position.
In particular I think people saying that tend to play a bait and switch of generalising it when it's convenient for them to do so and insisting that other people are not allowed to do the same.
