Joe Tall's recent post got me thinking about how racism is often inferred by the context in which one might use racially offensive or insensitive phrases. On more than one occasion up here in lilly-white New Hampshire, I've had patients say the following anti-semetic phrase in the context of a normal conversation such as:
Yeah, I met with the guy who responded to my ad about the truck for sale, but he tried to Jew me down on the price... |

I voted racist just because I don't really see how you can argue that it's not racist at all, but it's the Diet Coke of racism if anything. This statement wouldn't jar me or cause me to speak out.

It's a racist figure of speech, that even if used does not imply that the person who is using it is racist. I've said it before, I know many people who've said it before, and I don't believe that it makes you a racist person. Maybe not the most politically correct person, but yeah. The statement is racist.

I find that like the term "nigger-rig" You would never use it in front of a black guy, but if you did he would only be, at the most, minorly irriatated [/ QUOTE ] please use it in a sentence and find me a black person who would only be minorly irritated. |
