[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Thank you. At some level, most of us are learning that we have been reflexively and unwittingly insulting people because they are somehow different from whatever is considered to be the mainstream. I recall being with a member of a demeaned ethnic group, when I made a joke about my own ethnic group, assuming she knew my ethnicity and that it was a joke. Her response? "Oh THOSE people!" -- [b]as if it's ok to demean people of different ethnicities if you think they are not present[/b].[/quote This happens to a Jewish friend of mine a lot. She married a non-Jew, and his family often forgets she's there, and slip up. She doesn't "look Jewish" either, so people often speak in derogatory stereotypes in front of her, without realizing that she's Jewish.[/quote]
