I know people that are preachy progressives that also say they are avid people watchers.

Doesn't that mean they invoke a little prejudice when people watching?

Seems a tad hypocritical, right?

IDK

Only if you have rape thoughts about certain races. If you want to rape them all, you're good to go.

Who knows anymore? I'll just go with yes. Everything is trashy and everything is a form of discrimination.

Not if you watch them all.

If you only watch the redheads, then yeah you're probably discriminating.

it's possible to observe without making negative value judgments

It may be possible but it isn't likely for most people.

People watching might be my favorite hobby. It's never-ending entertainment.

Probably easier to form negative value judgments about every single person.

If you watch, you're marginalizing the subject

If you look away, you're silencing an oppressed subject


I try to just act like I'm having a sneezing fit at all times....it's worked so far.

people watching is looking for someone to do something stupid, looking at and appreciating pretty women, laughing and judging what people are wearing...etc.....people watching can mean all sorts of things.

I disagree, it creates positive "energy" in regards to my own self esteem.
