Re: Is Love Racist? The TV show laying our biases bare
But the article also mentions people saying something along the lines of "south-east Asian women are more submissive, so I like them better" -- and I do think that such statements are problematic.
Re: Is Love Racist? The TV show laying our biases bare
I think maybe the problem is, everyone should generally be a lot less racist than they are now, but when I read articles about that, I feel like they're telling me to take it to the logical conclusion, and obliterate any not-completely-egalitarian sexual orientation. But actually they're just being emphatic, not necessarily precise.
