If I talk about some white man I hired, and I said he sucked, that is also racism?
It is if you specifically mentioned that he’s white, yes. The problem is that you’re openly stating your biases as being important to the story. However your biases are exactly that, biased. You don’t know if they’re relevant or not, but you feel it necessary to say anyway. That’s prime prejudice. You don’t know their education, history, family life, economic situation, or any number of other factors that could come in to play. But you assign importance and blame to the fact they’re Indian. Racist.
Yes it’s kind of important to assign importance to the Indian part, since that was what he was trying to describe.
You should watch the movie “am I racist” that came out now in 2024. It makes fun of people like yourself though, but it could be fun to watch anyway to maybe see the other side of this. :)
And you should be interested since you don’t have bias right?
But you skipped over 100 other qualities they shared and instantly focused on their race. The fact that you don’t even realize your bias is what makes is so pervasive. You don’t even realize you did it, and here you are arguing that you’re not responsible.
Yeah I don’t think it’s wrong to say Indian or talk about indians. It’s the same as talking about men, women, black, white, yellow… These are attributes we use in life and it’s accurate and correct to use those words to describe people and our experiences. They are just our own experiences.
