Please don't close my thread about fun being allowed in off topic. Please do not discuss sexual racism in my fun allowed thread.
Please discuss fun being allowed.
Currently it appears that fun is not allowed in off topic and the people seem to agree

Are people obligated to like every race/ethnicity equally? I don't get how "sexual racism" is a struggle. People have preferences and that's okay too.

numbers you'd be right in a vacuum but the problem is that it's a systemic thing. people are taught that there is a specific ideal of beauty (which rn includes light colored skin), which informs their taste as they grow into adults. the problem isnt so much that people have preferences, but that peoples' preferences are curated by media conglomerates, advertising agencies, and so on. institutional racism is tied in with this because for quite some time black people were explicitly seen to be less desirable than white people in western culture, and the effects of this are still seen in media (less representation etc). and a material effect of this is that people of color tend to have a much harder time finding someone to accept them as they are. I'd wager that if cultural standards of beauty for women in the western world were overhauled, people would grow to not have these preferences so much in the first place.
of course, i don't like to jump into identity politics and argue any sort of reformist perspective of the media industry (i think it should be replaced entirely with something else), but this is generally what I believe to be the argument for the legitimacy of sexual racism's existence
anyway sorry i know this is offtopic.

post but apparently a lot of people liked it. i don't think arctic's re-rail attempt would have worked, but that there would be more posts like that one. needless to say i don't think posts like that one should go anywhere on this forum. not even our beloved wibbles.
