Thank you for taking the time. It definitely is worth explaining! I didn't have time and am glad you did :)
And this is the thing so many people don't understand: Bias doesn't have to be intentional. Racism, bigotry, privilege, etc can all happen purely because we're flawed beings that find it difficult to think outside our own lived experiences
I like to make a point of calling out the difference between "fault" and "responsibility"...
As a cis white man born in the 1980s, it's not my fault that black people in America suffer from the long term consequences of slavery and segregation
But as a cis white man born in the 1980s, who has comparatively benefited from the systems built on the foundations of slavery and segregation, I am - and others like me are - responsible for making it right, today.
And anyone who doesn't believe that should read some T.M. Scanlon
OMG yes. Re the difference between fault and responsibility.
I'm an inheritor of generations of the benefits of systemic bais (as well as deliberate), it is my responsibility to try and make that right.
Much to the chagrin of too many around me who thinks that it's unfair.
Big same. Biiiiig same
