Racism and Sexism

[Bern]

An acquaintance just posted this on facebook. I told her I thought the entire premise was both racist and sexist. Thoughts?

While I can see how she could have that opinion ( caffeinated femminist ) I fundamentally disagree with her.

I wouldn't say it's racist or sexist per se.

The first line in each statement is in direct conflict with the definitions of sexism and racism respectfully.

Establishing culpability of sexism on gender is sexist by definition.
Establishing culpability of racism on race is racist by definition.

Disagree. As a white male I do not condone either ism, in any direction.

Yes Feminist view sort of? Its great she has pointed out history has taught us, men created sexism and whites created racism.. I believe its been a long long time having history retaught to us in a way which designates right from wrong. I would not consider myself sexist under her opinionated/feminist definition, therefore I would call her sexist..?

So how do you see it, and why do want opinions?

Re: Racism and Sexism

Bern, your friend has twisted the generally accepted meanings of both words to suit her ideology, because those meanings negate her arguments.

I think you are reading too much into it but see your point . I'm guessing she didn't mean it that way . A misguided , misworded opinion is what I see.

I first seek a definition of both.

Then I apply that definition.

Is there institutionalized racism and sexism in North America that favours white males, absolutely.

That does not mean an asian person can't be racist towards a white person. Nor does it mean that a woman couldn't be sexist toward a male.

White's don't have exclusive rights to racism and men don't have exclusive rights to sexism.
