Reply to comment by LetMeSleepNoEleven in There have been more and more incidents of racially derogatory words being used by younger younger kids, at least here in Londonderry, NH. What’s the deal? by [deleted]

Actively deprioritized?

You're just making up BS. A hurricane is a weather event that has no concern for human skin color. Response should therefore be to prioritize those effected by the hurricane, independent of their skin color.

Unless you're racist. But that's the world we live in now. You have a group of people who think it's cool to be racist to make up for past racism or something.

Racism begets racism. It's always bad.

Hi? This is the US.

WTF have you been?

Edit: It’s not racist to prioritize those who have been deprioritized. So your “racism begets racism” is irrelevant and nonsense.

Yeah sorry. Reverse is racism.

Not being racist is prioritizing relief based on impact from the hurricane. Which scientifically speaking is totally unrelated to skin color.

It’s not racism at all. That’s absurd. There is no possible definition of racism that this fits.

Uh...

> discrimination on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group

Yep. It fits the very basic definition of racism.

Unless you're taking an anti science position that the hurricane is racist or something...
