Not that white men should never be offended about anything ever in their lives. In otherwords, that "racism" towards white people and "Sexism" towards men, isn't the same as it is towards black people and women. Basically every deragatory insult against white people as a race has nothing behind it because people have always been on top. That's totally different from being insulted individual charactersitics that isn't about your race. You weren't being insulted for being white. You were insulted for having red hair. Often by white people. That's bad yeah, and no I wouldn't just tell you to "grow up" in that case. However I would tell you that's still not equitable to being made fun of for your race. A White person and Hispanic person can both be upset at being called lazy. However lazy is a sterotype against hispanics. So yeah, the hispanic person should be more mad... and people should be more mad about it.
If Someone calls you and a Hispanic dude both fat? Yeah, you both have a reason to be equally angry. |
Just because you weigh one more than the other, doesn't mean the lighter one shouldn't be stopped as well.
Correction: I was made fun of for my skin color and hair mainly by whites and latinos.
Being made fun of for my pale skin and red hair is being made fun of my biological makeup, whether it is "race" or not. It's the same thing, even if, as you say, it isn't *quite* as bad given the more brutal history. It is still bad. And it still needs to be stopped.
I wasn't called lazy, or anything random. I was called direct stereotypes for what I was born as. Your "lazy" and "fat" arguments hold nothing here.
People should not be allowed to make fun of others and descriminate against them based on what that person was genetically born as and any stereotypes that come along with it.
Plain and simple.
