If a man is assertive, a woman doing the same thing will be considered bitchy, shrill or hysterical. Similarly, a person of color speaking up, voicing disagreement, or complaining about being wronged, will be seen as much more aggressive and out of control than a white person doing the same thing would be. Black men, in particular, are always assumed to be violent thugs, even when they're just minding their own business..."<br /><br />Yeah, good points!<br /><br />Also, how about when a white person calls a black person a racial slur (see http://life-with-aspergers.blogspot.com/2010/02/some-thoughts-on-intolerance.html ) or dismisses a black person's complaint about racism (see http://www.aspieweb.net/aspergers-teen-reginald-latson-arrested-racial-gun/comment-page-1/ ) and will be considered to be most likely doing that on purpose and asserting white privilege? Or when a man closely follows a female stranger (see http://kateharding.net/2009/10/08/guest-blogger-starling-schrodinger’s-rapist-or-a-guy’s-guide-to-approaching-strange-women-without-being-maced/ ) and will be considered to be most likely doing that on purpose and asserting male privilege?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530548799681444324.post-58041080837137597512009-07-29T11:51:20.443-05:002009-07-29T11:51:20.443-05:00Excellent post!

As you say, all kinds of prejudice interact and there are always hierarchies, always some of any given group who are considered more or less acceptable for fairly superficial reasons.<br /><br />Bisexuality can be a bugger like that, and I think it is a common experience for bisexual people to imagine themselves one thing or another to learn otherwise later on (snap!). There are even some gay people who don't take us seriously for this reason.The Goldfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213378454070776331noreply@blogger.com
