Is there anyone out there who doesn't understand that when someone says, "I'm the least racist person" they have just admitted to being racist? I wonder why the media doesn't get it. (Just FYI the phrase means I am racist, just less than everyone else)
Long ago I wasn’t racist. Then after exposure to certain cultures that treated me like garbage because I’m white their hatred of me became mutual.
Nothing like generalizations to make the world go round.
Any white guys you don't like? Let me guess, you hate them individually but not the whole culture.
@PaulD But I notice you didnt say you hate the white culture, why is that? My point is, just because some people of color treated you badly doesnt make the whole "culture" bad, right? Because if it did you'd hate the white culture too. You met with some bad individuals just like there are some bad white people.
I'm not sure that follows. The very statement "I'm not prejudiced", you say is an admission of prejudice? What if it's a true statement, though?
For instance, I myself am not prejudiced. I do get tired of being accused of it because I'm white and some people play that card where I work; because I'm white, I must be racist. So by your logic, if I defend myself against that, I'm admitting it, and if I stay silent, I'm acquiescing to the charge by my silence?
If you notice, there's a major difference between "I'm the least prejudiced" and "I'm not prejudiced." If I say "I hate you the least of everyone else" am I not saying I hate you?
If you're not prejudiced, you say I'm not prejudiced. Not I'm less prejudiced than everybody else. Do you not see the difference between the two? You interpreted that to MEAN they aren't prejudiced but they didn't say that. Did they?
