May I quote you on racial double standards? I need collective opinions...?
I am writing an editorial and to make it as factual as possible, I would like to do some reserch by people who I do not know personally, and who may have a better view on the world.
What is your opinion on racial double standards? I think that they are wrong and should be fixed, unfortunately I am unsure about a call to action.
Some examples in my personal life...
My best friend Jae is Asian. she and I joke that I (who am caucasion) am secretly Asian, and that we both have Asian ADHD, becuase we both are total spazzes and can have sort attention spans. She can joke about ti infront of a teacher, but when I do I almost get myself suspended.
My other friend Alexis is black. She jokes that there are "stupid white people" who wear short skirts in 40 degree weather. What were to happen if I were to say stupid black people? I would get suspended, or worse.
Another thing: yes, we all know that slavery used to be a popular thing, for whites as well. Everyone has had their hard past.
Standards are set by the community so they vary greatly from one part of the country to the other. I live in New Mexico, where the population is probably 45% white non-Hispanic and 45% Hispanic and the rest mostly Native American with some blacks and Asians. I slipped and joked about how a Hispanic friend had been called a lot of bad names by his ex, a non-Hispanic, and I said "She called him everything but a white boy." Oops! Not funny to anybody but me!
Because racial humor isn't cool in any direction, white against non-white, non-white vs. white, whatever. It's especially important when public figures like that Ismus guy (or however you spell his name) slip that they be punished and society see that it's not OK.
