[QUOTE="Marandahir, post: 8078348, member: 6803643"] [URL='https://medium.com/age-of-awareness/yes-all-white-people-are-racist-eefa97cc5605']"You cannot fix what is broken unless you admit to yourselves you’ve been raised and taught by racist parents, who raised you in racist systems and white spaces to give you the best chance of making it in a White world because they knew how bad it was being Black."[/URL] Yes, we can argue that, say, Japan maintains a racist system against people of Korean and Chinese descent, and there's discrimination based on it and some people get away because they "pass" as Japanese. We can even argue that " Caucasian Gaijin" have a harder time in Japan because of anti-immigrant/anti-non-Japanese sentiments there. We can make a stance about Han Chinese and racism in China versus other ethnic groups. We can even argue that countries like Zimbabwe have had regimes that responded to centuries of oppression of Africans with their own systematic oppression of European-descended immigrants. These are individual country level systems, and we can argue that they're racism on a systematic level as well. It's still not comparable to the world-wide systematic and racist oppression installed by and descended from European colonialism to every inhabited landmass in the world. In addition, while translated, D&D is written for a primarily English-language speaking audience - i.e., people who live in societies built upon the systematic oppression of non-white people. If you're a white person playing D&D in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, etc, you can't be not-racism because it's not a quality specifically of you, it's a quality of the political and economic and social systems you are a resident of. Understandably. But there are other ways to support the protest than marching yourself. Not talking about political parties, but about racism. Racism is a societal level structure, an individual white person cannot be "not racist" because whether they want to or not, they're benefiting from a system that props them up and pushes other people down on the basis of the (perceived) colour of their skin. Not saying that everyone is racist. I'm saying that you can't tease apart a white person's racism/not-racism from the racist structures they're benefiting from. It's not whataboutism, it's holding ourselves to task and not sitting on the sidelines when it comes to human decency, respect, equality, equity, and equal justice. [/QUOTE]
