solving racism
are you a racialist
What if you think race matters but not in a particular good or bad way, what does that make you?

Re: are you a racialist
Incoherent.
If it "matters," but in no way that is either "good" or "bad," then it doesn't matter to anything at all. To say that is both "matters" but does not really "matter" makes no sense at all, so it's incoherent.

Yes that's how is done.Skepdick wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 10:36 amNone of this information is available to the other party at the time the appointment is being made.Belinda wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 10:32 am Body piercings and tattoos and other eccentricities of appearance or vocabulary.
Old age
Certain sexual orientations
Physical and mental disability especially when the face is unusual
Unemployed
Low status occupations including students.
Crinimal record
Efforts to conceal the above. I personally would do so.
I am literally referring to the initial contact/engagement process and the simple failure to return calls/setup appointments.
On most websites it's just "Fill in your name and contact details and we'll get back to you...."
When you engage via whatsapp it's: "Hi, my name is XXX. I am interested in viewing so and so."
If your name is Monica you get one results.
if your name is Sisiwe you get another result.
Re: solving racism
That is how my wife does it.
She uses her "white" name to get appointments, because her black name causes trouble.

Re: solving racism
You cannot solve racism completely. It is partly genetic.Advocate wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 6:41 pm There are three reasons you might believe being racist is the correct world-view.
a) You trust that racist people around you to have your best interest in mind.
b) You believe even if racism is bad, there is some other reason to be racist that is more important.
c) Your own experience shows you that racism is necessary.
Each of these can be addressed in a certain epistemological way.

Re: solving racism
Since bad news is what sells, what we tend to get from the mainstream news-media are countless cases of interracial disharmony. ...
Although there’s research indicating that infants demonstrate a preference for caregivers of their own race, any future racial biases and bigotries generally are environmentally acquired. Adult racist sentiments are often cemented by a misguided yet strong sense of entitlement, perhaps also acquired from one’s environment.
One means of proactively preventing this social/societal problem may be by allowing young children to become accustomed to other races in a harmoniously positive manner. The early years are typically the best time to instill and even solidify positive social-interaction life skills/traits, like interracial harmonization, into a very young brain. Human infancy is the prime (if not the only) time to instill and even solidify positive social-interaction characteristics into a very young mind.
Irrational racist sentiment can be handed down generation to generation. If it’s deliberate, it’s something I strongly feel amounts to a form of child abuse: to rear one’s impressionably very young children in an environment of overt bigotry — especially against other races and/or sub-racial groups (i.e. ethnicities). Not only does it fail to prepare children for the practical reality of an increasingly racially/ethnically diverse and populous society and workplace, it also makes it so much less likely those children will be emotionally content or (preferably) harmonious with their multicultural/-racial surroundings.
Children reared into their adolescence and, eventually, young adulthood this way can often be angry yet not fully realize at precisely what. Then they may feel left with little choice but to move to another part of the land, where their race or ethnicity predominates, preferably overwhelmingly so. If not for themselves, parents then should do their young children a big favor and NOT pass down onto their very impressionable offspring racially/ethnically bigoted feelings and perceptions, nor implicit stereotypes and ‘humor’, for that matter. Ironically, such rearing can make life much harder for one’s own children.
