That’s definitely true cause the things they’re saying about other people they’ll probably say about you too. And did you mean the word worrisome? (I’m not nitpicking your grammar btw. I just didn’t know if it was a spelling thing or not since I don’t use that word a ton myself so it’s easy to forget.)
I’m also a black woman with a white man and being a part of a group doesn’t magically make you generalizing and insulting a group—esp to people who aren’t in it ok. If you’re not ALSO saying good things you’re projecting trauma at best or stigmatizing people, reinforcing stereotypes, and possibly fetishizing others at worst. You don’t have to be a red flag to yourself but I’m not dating people who do that kind of stuff and I’d definitely be questioning their motives for dating me if they did.
You’re completely misunderstanding and trying to shift the argument because what you’re saying is wrong. You’re shifted now to “tend to be”. You make statements of absolutes about race and now culture, which is something you can actually have a discussion about, that make no sense. “Everyone one of this race is predestined to be this thing” is a stereotype that is harmful. Idk what race you are, but if you’re talking about a cultural thing an argument can definitely be made about issues there.
yeah no same, my worst experiences have been with people in my own race that have been incredibly xenophobic towards me, now i instinctively just steer clear in terms of dating them, but it’s not like i hate my own race, i just wouldn’t take talking to a guy from my own race seriously (i mean it still happens sometimes, but it’s not smth i actively pursue)
bro. somebody from a conservative culture is more likely to be conservative. this literally isn’t rocket science jesus christ i’m not saying i’m dehumanizing these ppl or not gonna treat them normal. i’m saying i don’t see myself marrying into a misogynistic culture. could i perhaps find the minority non-misogynistic family? sure. but unlikely. stop being dense.
“basics of sociology” is knowing that people are most influenced and shaped by the society and culture they grow up in. hence a man growing up within a misogynistic culture is more likely to be misogynistic. 💀💀💀 broski there is no woke way out of this one. could ALL of them not be that way? sure. but factually MOST of them likely are.
I get where you’re coming from. I think #7’s issue had more to do with you highlighting race instead of culture tho. For u they’re the same bc the ppl of your race grew up IN that culture. But to some outsiders it sounds like condemning ppl at a glance BECAUSE of their race. Saying “I’ll never date Middle Eastern men bc they’re all sexist” has a very diff vibe than “the Muslim culture I grew up in was sexist so I date other races who I know aren’t associated with that instead” as an example.
You keep saying woke like a literal dumbass. What are you trying to do by saying that over and over? No one is trying to be “woke”. It’s simply the CORRECT way society functions. You mentioned race and claimed ALL people of a race are a way. You didn’t even mention culture till after. You’re trying to play “i’m smarter than you”, but that’s genuinely so stupid.
first of all i said men. that is a pretty significant subcategory. and i keep mentioning “woke” bc you keep insinuating that the things i feel and belief are not “correct” somehow bc it doesn’t fit a “one size fits all” observation of culture and race. and i brought up culture bc men of my race all grow up in the same culture. i’m not trying to play an “i’m smarter than you” card, i’m disturbed by you denying my reality for a hypothetical perfect world of “we’re all the exact same”
Strawman. No one said you can’t feel a specific way. I’m saying “everyone who is ___ is ___” is a stereotype that doesn’t make a lot of sense. You’re attempting to diminish the conversation to “common sense”. That’s just anti-intellectual. Shows even more when you’ve said “woke” like 3 times. The belief that everyone of a specific race is one way is a harmful stereotype.
That doesn’t apply to what I’m saying. We aren’t in India. If you go to Iraq, it’s safe to assume some of the people you see are terrorists. However, you’re in the U.S. That’s not as much the case. It’s a rarity and a harmful stereotype. Especially to Indian-American and Arab-Americans.
It’s not a stereotype if there’s major prevalence. Saying India has a major problem with sexual assault among the lower casts isn’t a stereotype. It’s backed by facts. Saying everyone is India who is male has committed sexual assault is not backed by facts. Therefore, it’s a poor stereotype that is harmful to Indian men who haven’t done anything wrong.
Exactly. Also if you’re from that group and had bad experiences that’s valid. The problem is ppl from OUTSIDE that group won’t know the nuances of “assimilating to western culture” or race vs cultural upbringing. If you’re conflating PERSONAL experience with universal fact others will hear those comments and project them onto any random person who LOOKS vaguely like a group in a way that can harm them even if they aren’t guilty of the things someone has experienced.
not replying to y’all after this but it is not my responsibility to protect this whole generation of men from the consequences of their own actions and attitudes and unwillingness to change. and a lot of them wanna go around being “influencers” of masculinity. i would actually prefer that they get shamed for their misogynistic views as much as possible. and the magical few “good ones”? they’ll likely nod and understand the failures of their own gender. much like how we shame men in general now
it seems like the both of you are going off hypotheticals and don’t understand what it’s like to actually live within a community where one gender’s whole personality revolves around hating women and blaming feminism for their failures and being told i need to pick the best out of the bunch to “fix”. & i will share whatever feelings i have with my significant other bc that’s what they’re there for. & i don’t expect for him to go around hate criming ppl.
“you know nothing about Iraq based on the 2 sentences you said about Iraq”. You’re genuinely at the peak of mount stupid atm. You learned about US destabilization on Tik Tok and the Ba’ath Party, so now you consider yourself “educated” on a topic you know the smallest information about. Please pack up your “i’m so intelligent” bags and see the exit.
i never said i know everything and u know nothing. it’s literally just that white americans tend to know less about islam and the middle east than someone with that background, just like how i probably know less about europe than u. a lot of people say false or propagandized things about islam and muslim countries so yeah, as someone with that background i’m gonna call it out
It’s not propaganda to say Islamic terrorism is more prevalent in counties such as Iraq, who have a 90%+ muslim population. It’s propaganda to act like that not true. Iraq has gotten significantly better in terroristic reports after Bush, but they still have a significant amount of terrorism. Acting like it’s “propaganda” is stupid.
