My intuition is that this instance compromises the integrity of other arguments. But I’m just one little white girl who probably feels protective of her hometown. I’d like to hear other perspectives that I may not have considered.
I should clarify that I’m not looking to argue or debate, but to listen and understand.
Also, thinking about it, I can understand how replying to this thread might maybe be intimidating if you do have strong opinions on it and don’t wanna get get piled on by Twitter. Well, my DMs are open and I promise I’m nice.
Just googled & read this article: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/11/01/little-white-town-devon-changes-signposts-claims-racism/ … Think that the compromise "Charles Kingsley's Little White Town" is great. I don't think "Little White Town" is a racist slur but just a little signalling to outsiders that Bideford isn't a white supremacist town is good.
Yeah, nothing wrong with clarifying and I think that solution works. I worry that if the argument escalated it would potentially increase any racial tensions, given that folks are so intensely proud of that part of their heritage — their mention in a best-selling Kingsley book.
