    Racist Countryside Art

    Gotta love the woke; they are constantly on the alert for new causes. The latest is the racism stirred up by paintings of the English countryside: I do love the insistence that this is not "woke"; apparently even the wokerattti know to avoid that description.

    Race-Based Grading

    I suppose this is the latest front for the anti-racists (as compared to the not-racists): Now, misbehavior (within some reasonable limits) should not result in a lowered grade; there are other places on the report card for identifying social adjustment issues. But no penalties for missing...

    What we mean when we talk about racism

    Sometimes it seems to me that people are envisioning different things when discussing racism. Is a person a racist? Or does it speak to a certain configuration of society, which makes any systematic "othering" racist, whether it literally has to do with skin color or not? An article in The New...

    Racism is contextual

    I think the thread title is self-evident and propose a real world example: I recently had occasion to overhear an event producer on a phone call to book talent: "No, the dancers can't be white. I need them to be black." This sounds racist. Without further context, I'd agree. Why are you...

    How do you define racism?

    For the purpose of this discussion I am talking about the USA specifically. It seems there is an ongoing debate about how we define and view racism. I personally adhere to the standard dictionary definition of racism which simply requires the belief in racial superiority or inferiority. I...

    Racism is baseless

    At breakfast Friday morning, a co-worker of mine made some 'joking' remark about how soon 1/3 of school children in Manitoba would be indigenous. He said "we gotta find a way to thin that out". I called him a *********** racist. Then I asked him what part of my wife should be thinned out. He...

    Whence the White/Black Racial Line?

    As I've become more worldly in my reading I've often wondered why race is such a big deal in the US, but does not seem to be so elsewhere in the North, Central or South Americas. I've never had the opportunity (read: boot in the rear) to investigate. I happened upon a youtube channel in which...

    Did Darwin's theories tend to build racism?

    The other day I was on the subway and this very brutish black woman got on the train. Her size and her demeanor really seemed "apelike" to me. I was shocked that this thought so casually skipped through my mind. I certainly don't like that it did and of course it was racist. I apologize...

    American racism during WWII?

    Firstly, anyone who knows my posting history understands I'm not a US basher, quite the opposite in fact. This thread has no hidden agenda.

    What is Racism?

    There seem to be a few different viewpoints, all of which are at times considered to be racist, yet which, in my view, are entirely different. The first, and in my opinion most offensive (and most likely to be wrong) is that there is an inherent, biological, difference between different races...
