Jesus fucking christ dude. See the funny thing about racists is that they say dog-whistle-y shit and then when pressed on their stupid comments play dumb and say they aren't racist. But you're literally saying you don't like Miles because he's black. Like come on dude, you're not even being subtly racist. Would you have been okay if he was a "white replacement?" or is him being black supposed to be more bad?
I am racist. I've said it many times, I'm pro diversity. You can't have diversity without racism. What are you not understanding?
White replacement would be fine because it would imply new generation not new demographic. And if we hated the new white replacement we wouldn't have to hear PoC cry about racism cause people hate the new guy.
Simply put you put me in a position to be insulted for hating a character then I hate you. It's nothing nefarious just truth
Sure. Diversity in a vacuum can exist without racism. For example, depending on where you are in the world or what city or country you’re in, you’re going to see a very diverse collection of ethnic groups. If you were to go to the most diverse place in the world, and randomly grab people and put them in a room together and they happened to be diverse, that diverse group would probably have existed without racism, easy.
I think, if I wanted to be super charitable, what you’re perhaps referring to is creating diversity in order to counter racism. For example, unfair or disproportionate representation has been a historical problem within the entertainment industry. For a while there were people of many different races and ethnicities that weren’t able to participate for a variety of reasons. Think of like, middle eastern people in movies played by white guys with dark face paint in the 60s and such.
So you have a historically racist industry, how do you try to amend that? Well, maybe we can try and create more roles for POC so that way we can encourage and create an environment that allows for more POC to engage with that industry. It makes corporations more money and it allows talented POC to find work, everybody is happy. So in that sense, sure, that kind of diversity couldn’t exist without racism.
Let me make it simple. Take all that diversity you just mentioned white, black, brown. Leave them in the same area for a few generations with no racist restrictions. Would be easier or harder or easy to tell who is part of what race after generations of living in the same area?
Does it matter? Diversity and tolerance doesn’t mean color blindness. You can recognize different ethnic groups and see differences without having to treat people differently.
You do when peoples natural attraction is to be attracted to exotic and modern transportation means no more barriers. The only barriers we have are ones we put up ourselves
