I'm sure your girlfriend's parents made similar comments about you, especially if you have an obviously WASP name. [/quote]

Only whites can be racist.

By definition,  BIPOC peoples are incapable of racism.[/quote]

Who gets to make that definition? [/quote]

those who are marginalized. This is absolutely correct. Only whites can be racist. [/quote]

I am a liberal, but this is one of those areas, like gender, where the new lefty shibboleths are so ridiculous that they are literally unbelievable. It is self-evident that non-whites can be racist. The evidence is there for all to see. Stop this nonsense, you are embarrassing yourself.[/quote]

+100. Right up there with LatinX, which a niche of academia is trying to foist on Latinos who don’t want it.

Another progressive [/quote]

Sorry, not sorry.  It is blatant transphobia to refuse to use the correct term, LatinX.[/quote]

No, it is blatant cultural colonialism to take an intrinsically gendered language and force it into gender neutral pronouns just bc a tiny subset of the population has gender identity issues. Every single noun in every romance language has a gender. Deal with it.[/quote]

All of this [/quote]

French is iel, a combination of il (he) and elle (she

Italians opted to start using the pronoun "loro" (a literal translation of English "they")

Wait, you mean people outside the U.S. are aware of sexism and trying to figure out how to address how it's reflected in language? GET OUT![/quote]

Actually France is making a national effort to keep American progressivism out of their culture. I doubt their academics are forcing language changes.[/quote]
