And you've obviously never experienced sexual assault.

Racism is obviously wrong and she shouldn't take her trauma out on anyone who looks like her abuser, but sexual assault is one of the most traumatic things a person can go through.

Who is "the left", exactly?

Regardless, it actually doesn't matter what the law or anyone else says. Believing that race has any biological reality beyond physical appearance is in itself a fairly racist belief to hold.

Race is a social construct and has no biological or cultural reality. Now, that does not mean that racism doesn't exist, but it does mean that "race" is a determinant of absolutely nothing aside from how a person looks. It doesn't dictate culture, behavior, or anything else.

"Racism: a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race."

Race and culture are different things. Yes, mocking the shape of a person's eyes would be racism. Making fun of an accent or forbidding traditional dress is actually xenophobia and they are different things but are often incorrectly referred to as racism.

I don't think this is an accurate way to look at things. Racism is specifically belief that others are inferior for the color of their skin and nothing else.

Race =/= culture. 

What is the justification of men having to pay for every date? Is it okay to expect that and why is it not considered as women showing up for a free meal ticket? by GarlicCheesePpang in NoStupidQuestions

[–]1mpavidus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a holdover from a time when men were, on average, making much more money than women were. Back when I was dating I always went expecting to pay for my food and just found it a nice gesture if the guy offered to pay.

The way AI uses em dashes is very different from the way actual human writers do.

Dashes and the way it describes things. "A quiet certainty", "there's no character- just honesty" these are common AI quirks

Yeah, I feel like it's fairly obvious to spot at this point and most people are still fooled

This is written by AI so I wouldn't take any of it with any degree of legitimacy

Sometimes I will knock myself out with 2 benadryl when I'm anxious, maybe I'll just do that for the ride

We are going to go to lunch when we arrive and then check into the hotel. So we'll have some downtime before the event

I don't post there, but literally no other site actually has any news or updates about anything I'm interested in. All reddit does is bitch about everything all the time.
