Not what I'm fucking saying, but good try. Something being used to justify racism isn't saying "this is on its face racism" its saying "racists will use the stringent, strict rules of this place to deny people of color access to this space". All of these complaints are things that everyone does to some extent, you just get frustrated by them when you're probably already frustrated.
People of color take up more space in white people's heads, so they get more policing of their behavior even if it isn't justified. A group of white boys being loud in a grocery store get head shakes and "boys will be boys" comments. A group of black boys being loud in a grocery store get followed around by security and white women clutching their purses.
Also fun how you sidestepped the ableism I brought up in that same sentence. Cause you know there's no fucking argument there, huh?
I thought both arguments were stupid and so I chose to not continue typing. I guess everything can be used to discriminate against someone, so fuck it, let's do nothing! Yawn yawn yawn.
Wow, false dichotomy much? I get it, you liked the idea and think me attacking it is like me attacking you. Once you grow up, you'll realize that not everything is about you.
Sorry, I meant if you grow up.
Not sure why you felt I attacked you, but that's fine. We've obviously got different opinions on the matter, and that's okay. If it's because I called the argument stupid, I didn't mean for that to be a reflection of you, it's just the exact kind of false dichotomy you're accusing me of here, and it's tired and overused here and on Reddit.
