Racist is thrown around waaaay too frequently on here too, including this case yes. It lessens the impact it actually has.

Has Rachal Dolezal taught you nothing? Cultural appropriation does not seem to register in the thick heads of the white population. Believe it or not, there is a lot more to being black than simply braiding your hair and learning ebonics. Where was this yearning to be black when my ancestors were sold and slaughtered and treated as human chattels? Where was this yearning to be black when we were not allowed to eat in the same restaurants or go to the same schools? Where was this yearning to be black when we are repeatedly subject to police brutality? You can’t pick and choose which aspect of a culture you would like to claim as your own, that’s just not how it goes.

I find this point intriguing tbh, as so many were up in arms about Dolezal, but accept it when its deciding you are born into the wrong sex. I actually don't see the difference between Dolezal pretending to be black, and transwomen. I don't. The exact same arguments can be used.

Obviously transmen would be more the equivalent of a black person pretending to be white given the balance of power/history between the sexs/races. So is not as problematic at all.

Slightly offtopic, but yeah.

[Vicky.]

And yeah, I don't think those tweets are racist tbh. Ignorant sure. But not racist. For me, racism needs intent. Others disagree with me on that I know...but unless you are being negative, or saying things meaning to hurt, then I wouldn't say its racist.

My Lord it took 4 mins 40 secs for her to get the point FIVE MINUTES!!!

Why didnt she show the tweets and then discuss them? Bored.

[Underscore]

No Isabelle wanted to be the Wicked Witch of the West, hence the green tinge.
