Some people think that it’s only negative intentions that are racism.

As another “Nick” whose first and last names look exotic on paper, I get weird pronunciations too. Then they see I’m a basic white NYer.

I’m glad when people call me out on micro aggressions. My intent is to never cause harm but it’s so easy to do inadvertently, especially when

There’s this overt / covert white supremacy infographic that was pretty eye opening to me. It basically lists the spectrum you’re talking about.

They don't like the spectrum because they realize they might have some some racist things

When people are denying racism exists it allows them to avoid accountability and live in innocence

Had a yt teacher call me Jackie Chan for an entire semester. Of all the micro aggressions, this was not all that serious. Still racist tho.

As an American born Wasian who grew up in SoCal, I can completely relate to the broad spectrum and how it sometimes worked in my favor.

…. I’m not following. It’s an invitation to teach them how you would like to be called (and that is usually explicit in school).

siegesgoettin :
the issue I have seen a lot is that people confuse intent with result. racism is determined by result not by intention and that throws a lot of people

also "messing up" by adapting to your environment is natural and it's like fuck I probably shouldn't do that, but if someone calls you out don't freak

I was told if you say you try and treat everyone the same and try and be "color-blind" then you're racist. It's apparently a microagression.
