Sexism/Racism: Can one side insult without the other offended?
I've been thinking a lot about this lately, and how one-sided the rule of sexism and the rule of racism is.
Who is mostly accused of sexism? Men or women.
Who is mostly accused of racism? Whites or blacks.
Women are always offended by sexism, and search out to detect it much more than men. (Example: That "When Women Rule The World" programme: If it were men, there would be a million complaints as having women as "slaves")
Blacks are always offended by racism, and search out to detect it much more than whites. (Example: "Guess Who", 2005 version. I didn't hear much uproar about the fact that Bernie Mac was annoyed that his black daughter was dating a white man, Ashton Kutcher. Another Example: BET, Black entertainment televsion. If it were WET, blacks would be offended)
"Women can never be sexist; Blacks can never be racist" is the mentality I believe that the world has today.
Does anyone else disagree with this appauling imbalance of justice?
