1. If your significant other claims to, or is known to âhave a thingâ for men/women of your race.
This is called fetishism, which generally consists of sexual/physical attraction based on stereotypes. For example: the âexoticâ Asian/African women stereotype, the sexually potent Black male stereotype⌠If youâre with someone who just is âintoâ people of your culture, try asking them why.Â
2. If they have a friend with racist views. Birds of a feather typically flock together, and when it comes to things like this, the rule still applies.
3. If they donât check (educationally confront) those friends when they express those views. What you fail to speak against, is what you ALLOW to happen⌠Iâll leave it at that.
4. If they donât bring you around family members. This is sometimes done to shield significant others from discrimination of family members⌠But beware, the mentalities of family members can be infectiousâŚ
5. If they are ignorant of, or not making an effort to learn about you or the history/experiences of people of your ethnicity/culture. Anyone who truly loves/appreciates a person will go out of their way to learn about the cultures which produced this person. Thatâs a no-brainer. When a person doesnât make the effort to learn about the societal factors which shape the life of their significant other⌠that is a problem.
6. If they claim to be âcolorblindâ, or that ârace doesnât matterâ or any of that other so-called post-racial, fake liberal B.S.
A person who says this is lying. Theyâre not saying that race doesnât matter to themâŚ. theyâre saying that deep analysis of such topics make them uncomfortable and for their sake theyâd rather just ignore any differences. As the saying goes âbeing blind to race is just ignoring something that you already noticed.âÂ
7. If you refer to dating them, or they refer to dating you as âtrying something newâ.
Doesnât sound right to me⌠If you want to âtry something newâ try a new pair of shoes, or a new show on Netflix⌠But you donât romantically try other ethnicities as if theyâre flavors of Ice Cream, you experience people for who they are.
8. If you seem to be the only person of your race that they are fond of.
Do I need to explain this one?
9. If they cosign your criticisms of your ethnicity
Iâ m not really a person who is big on criticizing members of my race when Iâm around people outside of my race. Some discussions should stay âin the houseâ metaphorically speaking. But if you must talk about these kinds of these, your significant other should just be a listening ear. Anything more is out of line.
10. If they cannot, will not, are afraid to, or unable to have discussions on racism.
This is a symptom of a person who is living in denial, ignorance, or both. Either way, it ainât healthy⌠Unless youâre in denial too, then yâall will probably get along fine.
itâs just funny cuz the humans in x-men comics have committed multiple genoncides against mutants or at least tried, made a bunch of oppressive laws and professor x bald ass was still like âwe need to show them we are peacefulâ like sis. anyways magneto was right.
