Tyler Durden Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I can actually see how being a WASP would mean you were used to being discriminated against, must be hard with the poodle perm and black biker jacket look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware of how discrimination works, I'm afraid you'll have to take my word on this - and as I'm being serious in this thread any minute now I'll stop trying to put an alternate view over and leave it, that's all I'll say.

Check out the reaction from 86 Schmokes - he thinks he's the only one and the rest of us are talking poo. So although this is an anonymous forum I'll leave any more personal info out thanks. But I'm being serious about this subject - discrimination of any sort is serious, but also easy nowadays to over-exaggerate I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archied Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 1 hour ago, YorkshireRam said: This is my understanding as well, micro-aggressions are very obvious to younger people due to us being raised in the culture where they are increasingly being aired. An older demographic, as has been seen, do not generrally assign the same level of importance to these misgivings, hence why there are people then genuinely believe Ramage hasn't done anything wrong, next to folk that are shocked at the level of ignorance in Ramage's comment. That last paragraph is incredibly astute and sums the whole point up nicely. Racism isn't necessarily direct, it can take many forms and most of the examples we see are prejudice-focused rather than explicit attacks. While this is a good thing overall and shows signs of societal progress, it's important to still realise the importance of potentially how hurtful and regressive these prejudicial remarks can be.

Your the one making endless references to how much you've suffered! All I said was that I don't need you to tell me what is hurtful and what isn't which I don't think is unreasonable enough to warrant your ridiculous little hissy fit.

Well if that's how you choose to interpret it then I'm sorry but your reaction to both myself and another poster is completely OTT. I don't know your circumstances but I'm certainly not looking for anyone's sympathy, least of all yours. I've not asked for it, I don't want it. If you have an issue with that then you'll have to deal with it as you see fit. If you yourself have suffered as much discrimination as you infer, you have my sympathy but I've not alluded to a single instance of me being discriminated against, not even implied that it has even happened. You can draw your own conclusions. I've nothing further to add to our 'debate' I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One definition of discrimination is to recognize the difference between right and wrong,So surely just because a person doesnt agree with you cannot be said to be discriminating?Are we mixing up discrimination with prejudice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all boomers vs millennials, with Gen Zs now on the scene. I love reading articles about millennials though. Always so evidenced based and totally representative of millennials everywhere, provided they are freelance writers in London with rich parents who bemoan the fact they have to rent to save up for a 450k flat in zone 2.

Mafiabob Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Can I just identify as a father and husband instead of all the labels getting thrown about? That’s the problem with society now, some people put you in one camp or another..... whilst the majority shrug and just want a nice time in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
