We all have the right to be insensitive, BTW.


I've said some things which I had no idea would be considered racist, coming from a 98%+ white neighborhood and school district.
Lack of exposure to black culture left me unaware of plenty of things that were historically used to belittle black people.

Now that I know about those things will be received, I can choose my communication methods in such a way that my ideas are heard, and not some unintended subtext associated with my choice of words.


I'm not sure why everyone's so certain that Trump's comment was racist and not sexist. Anyone care to enlighten me on that?
Why is asserting she's a housekeeper more a slam against Latina women and not all women?
