I’ve never heard someone say the N word in person until today I think. One minority (aboriginal) telling me how something about blacks but using the N word instead of blacks/African-american.
There are a lot of other smaller instances I’ve seen in my personal life too.
I’ve never seen Indian versus Pakistan racism, but I would at least get why that might happen, since history.
In public policy, the majority (caucasians) are prob the most racist here, but in casual conversation I might hear more minority vs minority racism. I think this partially might be because caucasians have it drilled into them (my city) that they have to not be racist in convo?
I’ve never understood why some minority groups didn’t come out to support black lives matter (here), but it seems to look like bc they don’t care to help out blm bc its not explicitly minority-name-here lives matter
☹️
I just saw your comment now, sorry about that.
Honestly I am not too sure either. I need to read more, but I do feel like education is a large part of it. And what I mean by that is education through all channels: school and a revolutionary party curriculum.
I personally would not really put it in terms of ‘class’ or ‘race’ struggle because I think it tries to delineate an issue that isn’t clearly seperated into neat little pieces. Race and class are intertwined, which I tried to convey in the first comment. It is pretty much useless to seperate them.
But like you said, we can easily focus on the ‘obvious’ stuff and pivot towards the real issues. Racial solidarity I think occurs when the two parties realise that they have more in common (ie. victims of capitalism) than focusing on liberal identity politics.
no worries, we got irl lives to live!
This might be an angle we could play
