Didnt think this was a new thread worthy, so i bumped this one.
I posted this in a Disney FB Group (one that shares memes and bad humor, not a typical mom's Disney group). We were talking about Club 33 which is an ultra exclusive restaurant in Disneyland with a very hefty membership cost and long waiting list.
Then, I got this reply:
I honestly didn't think or intend to write anything truly racist. So I replied with this:
I then got attacked by another poster saying "it was super racist. Stop justifying"
So, was I being racist? It certainly wasn't the intent. IMO, I think we are really washing down the true meaning of the word when you go after someone for something like this.
Officially the definition of Racism 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
•
the systemic oppression of a racial group to the social, economic, and political advantage of another
• a political or social system founded on racism and designed to execute its principles
To me the bolded part is the most important part of the term, and in no way was I inferring any Intent to oppress or be superior to the server.
I may be a middle aged white guy, but I don't think i did anything wrong. If I did I'll own it, but I am def confused on this whole modern idea of racism.
