Minorities In Comics and Related Media

[KOSLOX]

I've only seen the first episode which I loved, I don't binge watch things a lot so I will slowly make my way through this show

The "Indians on TV" episode is my favorite one so far.

Agreed, but at the same time, I believe both parties shouldn't jump to conclusions, and that explanations should be given for clarification purposes before taking issue. Especially when dealing with something of a foreign language. Living in San Diego, spanish is all around me, and of course the reference to the color black is the n-word. Thankfully I'm semi-decent in spanish but even so, when I was first exposed to that word (Coming from Detroit, I wasn't expose to Spanish) I wanted clarification on the word so I can tell the intent behind the statement. That's why I said it's a very tricky business. Of course, she wouldn't know what the Sambo meant in another language. But to take an offense before an explanation could be given means jumping to conclusions too quickly. What and why are always part of my vocabulary lol.

The korean video on the other hand is a different situation, because you don't have someone who can explain to you what that meaning is, in Korean. There's no what or why questions you can dive into. So that makes a lot of sense why they censor that word. So I completely agree with censoring the word on the radio, though I disagree with the woman taking offense so quickly without clarification. With that said, the black k-pop fan (Michael Scott Grant aka Mr.Popo/Youtube) was completely against censoring the word due to the fact that it was a foreign language and the meaning behind the word is different. So it's understandable for different people to have different viewpoints.

Dude youre from here too? Are you hoping the Lions make some good moves? Also I may have to go to some Pistons games this year!!

Good points above.

Have you all seen Master of None on Netflix? It's Aziz Ansari's show and deals with him being an struggling actor and provides some awesome commentary on casual racism.

So does anyone here care to define "casual racism?"

Is any kind of generalization about a given ethnicity "racism," casual or otherwise? Or does it have to be a negative generalization?

In these frameworks that focus on individual interactions, people of color are reduced to serving as plot devices in the lives of young white people. Programs designed to make white people less racist ask people of color to be endlessly patient, unoffended, and gentle with the fragile white egos before them. But it is not the job of people of color to teach their own humanity to their white peers.

Unfortunately it's not just idiot frats and right wingers.

Plenty of left wing (white) journalists are jumping into it as well.


Left, right, POCs and LGBTs in the US pretty much have to fend for themselves and hope others catch up.

Haha yep, originally born in Inkster Michigan, but my dad wanted for me to have better opportunities so he moved us to California, one of the biggest culture shocks ever hahaha but I loved it. The lions are sadly in the exact same situation as the san diego chargers, tons of talent, can't seem to pull it together. Though we're going to be losing our american football team in a few years.

I think I remember you talking about this move before.

I hope they do pull it off like the Chargers did!

People fail to consider that if the most traditionally pampered subsection of the Black Student body at Mizzo State-The Football Team-felt that things were intolerable to the point were they were willing to potentially damage their own careers to protest them, then things must be pretty fucking bad.

And that's the wrong way of looking at it. Now that you are aware of the definition, sure, you may find moments where you did or said something that fit it. So can I for myself.

But with the new information, you can either use it to be more aware of when it happens (and possible effects) or when you're actions fit the description and just don't do it/call it out. Or not.
