[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6869222, member: 9037"] I honestly don't know how to explain this to you. No one is saying that beating up someone because you have been mistreated is okay and excusable and that they should be cut some slack because of it. Maybe this will help here is the definition of institutionalized racism Institutional racism (also known as institutionalised racism) is a form of racism expressed in the practice of social and political institutions, as distinct from racism by individuals or informal social groups. It is reflected in disparities regarding criminal justice, employment, housing, health care, political power and education, among other things. Whether implicitly or explicitly expressed, institutional racism occurs when a certain group is targeted and discriminated against based upon race. Institutional racism can go unnoticed as it is not always explicit and can be overlooked. I have also tried to explain how what about is used to discredit and silence people speaking up about an injustice. By focusing on her comments about white males in gaming and how she should not have painted with such a broad brush the subject of the harassment of women and POC gets shunted to the side. It is an effective tactic. [/QUOTE]
