friends get into stuff all the time that i can't get on their wavelength with - not just re race. i could probably be more decent about it and live + let live but that's about tact/etiquette. i'm still going to regret the shift in emphasis privately

surely saying "Neanderthals were white" is like saying "Homo sapiens are white"

Words and language are powerful tools by which an individual can express ideas, whether abstract, actionable, or concrete. As a writer and editor, I know firsthand that language and the meanings we attach to words very much impact, influence, develop, and change the attitudes that we have toward the subjects of discussion. That is why people are easily insulted or upset by word choices. Changing a phrase — even if it holds the same literal meaning — alters the subtle connotations and nuances of the speech, and communicates a different meaning and context than the original phrasing.
feel like this indicates some of the areas that could be debated separately from arguments about privilege

it was ok, gets a little smarmy at the end, 'It also risks reducing audiences’ own interpretive possibilities' say it ain't so. probably bc he wanted to be controversial but didn't want to go to the logical conclusion which is internet bros love being offended bc in capitalism-ravaged 2013 america it is the only way we can feel alive.

nakh shared this quote w/ me about thatcher:
There had never been a cabinet with so many Jewish men - me, Michael Howard, Leon Brittan. I wondered why, and the conclusion I came to is not that she had a thing for Jews, but that she was one of those rare politicians without the faintest whiff of antisemitism.― Mordy, Tuesday, 9 April 2013 14:45 (1 year ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
Nakh being in Thatcher's cabinet does explain a lot

xp i used to work on a donations/charity hotline collecting for the Gujarat drought appeal and they insisted we answer the phone asalaam alai kum and the person on to their end would immediately panic and through the phone to their grandad who would then crankily reprimand me in their own tongue because I had started it then hand back to the kid who could work the phone and organise the donation then I had to finish with waali kum salaam even after all the trouble and they'd be like write whatever bro
