I feel like I should step away from this conversation. You're basically saying 'guilty by association of 'colour' and hence justifying anti racism as a new racism. "It's retaliation" is effectively "an eye for an eye."
That's about as far away from progressive as you could possibly be, so I'm out.
What the world doesn't revolve around America? WHAT? That is insane! I didn't know that. It's weird but seeing how I am American I can't really vouch for other countries and their racism level so I comment on the things I am familiar with. America is a melting pot of every other country so we see all levels of racism. I am not saying the retaliation is the way we need to go I'm saying the worst of the problems stem from white people. If I hadn't of been like that the guy wouldn't have said those things and we may have even dated. In the southern US the confederate flag flies all over and it is a constant, bitter, reminder of race issues. Our white privilege lets too many of us have big heads and egos and makes others resentful. If whites, at least here in the southern US since I obviously hafta clarify, could let it go and move on I have no doubt that things would calm down. I grew up in a military town where the majority was black and Hispanic kids. I can tell you right now I caused more racist problems than they did.
