2 months agoPeople considered woke often only focus on institutional racism and make every other form of racism seem unimportant, including those targeting so called “whites” / Europeans. (And I’m not trying to victimize perpetrators here, I’m aware of the current and historical situation in Western countries.)
I see that institutional racism is a huge problem, especially in the West, but that doesn’t make any other form less important or significant.
For comparison: just because in sub-saharan Africa people starve on a daily basis due to extreme poverty caused by Imperialism doesn’t mean that poverty inside industrial nations with less harsh effects is less of a problem, especially to the individual.
I hear only the lightest Indian accent and smash my head against the screen.
