Meanwhile, I've never seen a black person have something negative happen to them where the counter party was non-black and NOT be certain it was "because of racism".
Interesting. That is what I hear from some whites that feel every minority promoted is because of DEI and couldn’t possibly be because of merit or only being admitted to certain colleges because of affirmative action and so on. I guess it’s the climate we’re in. I don’t see it changing.
But to address your comment from my point of view, sometimes things happen so often, often times my initial reaction is to assume the slight was because of race. Sometimes I’m wrong. Sometimes I’m right. Sometimes I’ll never know what the truth was. I’ve learned, many situations aren’t worth getting angry over. Worse things happened to my ancestors.

quote:THe end of this makes no sense. You will NEVER "know" if you were right short of the person telling you. As for it "happenning often". Well, negative stuff happens to EVERYONE often. So, if you start from the premise that it's race, you're creating a self fullfilling result.

I have negative shite happen to me all the fricking time. Alas, I don't have a ready made excuse I can hang my hat on. And, it turns out, the shite happens for like 100 different reasons. Because that's life.

where do you see this happening? being suspicious of minority promotions is definitely happening, but that is a bi-product of DEI implementation, not the other way around. where do you see white people saying that minorities "couldnt possibly" be being promoted on merit?
