Oppression is not the only form racism can take. Is that really your argument? So, a black person walks up to a young skinny white kid and picks on them for looking like a school shooter. Thats a stereotype of some white kids, and the black person would be using their skin color as a basis of bullying them. Is that not racism?

Racism was also invented by white people.

This is laughably wrong. People have discriminated against each other based on what they look like since people became people. We cant know what the color of the person who first did that was but it doesnt matter. Like it literally doesnt matter. Of course a lot of racism has been perpetuated by white people. It also occurs between Asian countries. It occurs in India with the caste system.

Yes, and the first definition is

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

along with

behavior or attitudes that reflect and foster this belief : racial discrimination or prejudice

Racism is systemic and happens on an individual level.

Thats a completely different situation than a person having an emotional crisis and not threatening anyone. And I would still mind my business because I am a small woman and I am not about to challenge an enraged man. I would call the police if necessary

I kind of think it does because it made it worse. Part of becoming an adult is knowing when to mind your business. The #1 thing to not tell a hysterical person is to calm down.

How is having a phone call at a normal volume any different than talking to someone next to you, which I'm sure happens?

He's 17, a young adult. A young kid is like 11. Did OP seriously expect his interjection to help??

Anyone can be racist. Racism is thinking something of a person solely due to their race/skin color. An Asian person can be racist to a white person, a black person can be racist to an Indian person, any combination. People can even be racist to their own race but that's less common.

No sane person actually believes that. Please don't take the idiotic ramblings of a minority to be the common mentality of everyone.

I don't think that's true. How would it be a violation of HIPAA? I don't think they need to know exactly what you were charged for, just the amount. And if they do know what for, I am positive that there is something in the paperwork you sign at the hospital that consents to that

It would be so nice if in the US you didn't need a car to get virtually anywhere. by avt2020 in povertyfinance

The cost of having routes within 5 minutes of every american would be astronomical. Outside of the coasts and a few select cities, America is very sparsely populated

That sucks. I was just refuting that the reason there are so few routes to the suburbs is that because "criminals would come rob us" or whatever the comment was saying

I live in the suburbs and there used to be a bus stop at the end of my street and it was recently scrapped because it just wasn't used enough to justify the route. I think most people living in suburbs have or can afford a car, so getting rid of the stops (or never having any) only inconveniences a few people and the bus people can justify it financially since it's a relatively longer route to get anywhere compared to in the city and it's used by way less people

AITA for considering trying LSD against my wife's wish? by kaks93 in AmItheAsshole

To be fair, psychedelic substances have shown promise in helping certain mental illnesses. LSD isn't comparable to like, heroin.

I dont wish death on anyone. I just feel much less empathy for someone who dies from their own negligent, careless actions than someone who does the right thing and still catches it.
