[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "xiexie" is a microaggression arising out of ignorance. The elevator thing has everything to do with the smell and not race. Definitely not enough to move to Hawaii, unless you are fond of surfing anyway. [/quote] I know microaggression is a trendy term right now but this wasn’t one. He thought it was being nice to recognize people speak other languages not just English. He was not being antagonistic towards him or prejudice or discriminating towards him. Allowing people to claim racism when it’s not takes away the seriousness of people harmed by hateful racism. Half of my family are Latinos and when we go to restaurants there’s usually a Latino employee who will speak Spanish to them. Real racism is a person yelling at someone to speak English because you’re in America. I don’t know of any smells that are associated with Asians. They probably would have done that to anyone in the elevator. [/quote]
