25 Ways to Tokenize or Alienate a Non-White Person Around You

(Or, 25 Examples of the Racism We Witness on a Regular Basis)

Fight Racism - I had a conversation with a friend the other day about racism (big surprise there!), and we began to get into inadvertent or ingrained racism. That is, the acts of racism that people commit without realizing that they are doing so. It was my contention that most everyone is guilty at different times of some sort of prejudice whether it be on purpose or not. He insisted that this wasn’t so, that he doesn’t have a racist bone in his body...

Unless it was intentional, which it may have been, the title should be the number one way to alienate people of color, defining people as non-white. I expected to see the post say something about it, because it was used all over the place and looks intentional. But no.

Regardless, kudos to Eric Stone for bring up / re-blogging these conversations.
