By the way, this White man thinks he's being clever by saying "otherness belongs to all of us." Statement is ludicrous on several fronts.
White men return to my blog to repeat their bigotry, even after I've already explained. Mr Meaning's 3rd go. #socmoderation #islamophobiapic.twitter.com/RYSJ64gbpZ

Otherness is an academic concept, theorised to explain social phenomena where powerful groups emphasise differences to denigrade others.
-
White men especially latch onto sociological concepts, without understanding the literature, to suit their personal worldview & prejudice.
-
This happens because concepts we use in
#sociology sound familiar ("the other") & describe social experiences (gender). But we use theory -
#Sociology uses critical thinking to analyse taken-for-granted assumptions, putting concepts in historical & cultural context. -
So like with any other lay understanding of any phenomena,
#sociology theories & concepts are not trumped by prejudiced status quo opinions.
