What are /r/racism's favorite Products & Services?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up. Shouldn't HR be telling your boss to apologize to you? You merely pointed out the situation. Your boss is in the wrong.

You're probably not going to get away from the burden she is placing on you. I guess you could write that you want to move past this situation and that it is a moment for everyone [meaning her] to be their best selves. And then maybe ask what she thinks about reading Ijeoma Oluo's book or Ibram X. Kendi's book together as a team book club? Make sure to say it can't happen without her leadership or vision or whatever quality she wants the most and ask if she thinks everyone on the team can use toward as their DEI goals for the year?

The quality of the roles matter, too, though. The "Han" character from Two Broke Girls might count as an Asian actor getting a role, but it's also a horrible stereotype on the level of Long Duk Dong or Charlie Chan.

I don't have stats for television, but at least in film, diversity in the really meaningful roles is terrible. If you look at top-billed actors, 86% of roles go to white performers.

Women are underrepresented and black women are the most underrepresented: of films from the Big Six studios, only ~1.1% went to black female leads from 2000 to 2009.

And of course things suck for Asians, Native Americans, Latinos, etc.

We've banned multiple accounts of his from r/Chicago. At first I thought it was one dedicated troll, now it appears to be a pretty large botnet hitting Reddit all day long.

From the search on my r/ReportTheSpammers post:

At any pharmacy, in the same area they sell the weekly pill boxes, they usually also sell pocket sized pill boxes. Maybe you could keep a picture on your phone of the pill next to the pill bottle to provide proof of what exactly the pill is for. I’m sorry you even have to worry about this.

In the context of analysis, no. These situations require more advanced definitions. Compare the dictionary definition of &quot;panopticon&quot; to its entry in Wikipedia. The latter explains a lot more.

If you want everything to be oversimplified and easy to digest, then sure, use the dictionary. The world isn't quite so simple, though.

You'll be preaching to the choir here. If you want to affect change, work it into your daily life. Anyone ever mentions Reddit, bring it up.

Nothing to get. It's exactly what you see. It's a documentary on a frybread competition. If you've ever had frybread, it's pretty delicious. It's also prominent in many (North American) Indian cultures so this is a good opportunity to see the diversity among tribes, especially since Indians are often erased in contemporary accounts, and when visible, are turned into a monolith.

If you're into cooking or baking, try making it some time. Keep in mind, there are so many variations in recipes.

This is terrifying:

>Detective Adam Stasinopoulos of the Forest Park Police Department in Illinois, which stopped using Clearview after its free trial expired, said he saw false positives in search results within the facial recognition app. “I know that there were matches that weren’t exactly accurate,” Stasinopoulos said. BuzzFeed News reviewed documents in a Forest Park arrest in which Clearview correctly identified a suspect, a Black woman, in the theft of an engagement ring, yet it also matched her image with three other Black individuals who were not involved in the crime.
>
>In early 2020, a source with access to the Clearview AI mobile app conducted a series of searches on behalf of BuzzFeed News. That person, who asked not to be identified for fear of retribution, ran more than 30 searches using a group of images including several photos of computer-generated faces.
>
>On two searches for computer-generated faces — a woman of color and a girl of color — Clearview returned images of real people as matches. For example, it matched an artificial face to an image of a real girl of color in Brazil, whose school had posted her picture to Instagram. For searches of computer-generated white faces, no false matches occurred.

A group of Lakota people have set up a fundraiser to buy their own land back at the auction. Since it is an auction, the price of the tracts is unknown, but they intend to buy as much as they can.

>Emotions are not separate from cognitive development, unless you literally belief emotions come from some higher divine power. They're all processes of the physical brain.

Cognition and emotion are processes of the physical brain, but that does not mean they function in the same way. From what I've read that is not necessarily true. Cognition has influence on emotional development but generally cognition relates to reasoning, memory, intelligence, etc.

Here are a couple of links:

You can find these at pretty much any drug store. You can keep a picture of the bottle and the pills on your phone to show the cops should you ever need to.

I mean, if the cop decides to be a dick about it, not much you can do, but at least you’d have proof on your phone if it came up. They can always confiscate your “drugs” and have them tested, but anyone with half a brain’s gonna know they’ll look pretty stupid when the results come back. Maybe also a medical ID bracelet to prove you have a medical need?

You shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to carry medicine, but this is the world we live in right now. Good luck.

You've got more than one question there.

Your first question. Where to begin. Well, there is racism in America. So the way races are treated is not equal. Much has been written about this, and you need to know the history of the United States to grasp it. You know the Constitution doesn't count Black people as whole persons? It had to get Amended. But you know that 13th Amendment makes slavery legal today?

As to your second question, Africans were kidnapped. If you've never been kidnapped it can be hard to imagine a gang of white people taking you to a place far away from family and friends where you don't know the language and culture and stick out. If people want to kidnap someone, it's not particularly difficult, but it's the keeping that's the problem. They could have kidnapped white Europeans, but then when they came to America, they could escape and blend in. But this is far more complex story since it was a systematic operation supported by multiple countries and governments. If you are really interested in finding out I will recommend "The History of White People&quot; by Nell Irvin Painter.

I like using Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? and Other Conversations about Race by Beverly Daniel Tatum.

"Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl", Harriet Ann Jacobs

"Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass an American Slave"

"Slavery in the United States: A Narrative of the Life and Adventures of Charles Ball", Charles Ball

"Life of William Grimes, the Runaway Slave", William L. Andrews

These are about slavery, but maybe you can suggest others that deal specifically with contemporary racism.

Ibram Kendi's <em>Stamped From the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America</em> is an absolute must, and just came out in a relatively inexpensive paperback edition. Could very easily be your 'core text', and contains excellent footnotes and references to other books and possible topics of discussion. Starts with the beginning of America (many of the ideas come from far before that) and goes all the way up to the present, and does an excellent job of covering a variety of related topics like class and gender. It's almost impressive how consistent he is in finding and condemning racism, even in contexts where we are often more forgiving of racist ideas, by showing there have always been counterexamples to racist ideas, and how racism really is a groundless fabrication. Absolutely excellent. Also perhaps consider:

Carol Anderson - White Rage: The Unspoken Truth About Our Racial Divide Admittedly it covers a lot of the same territory as stamped and with less scope or detail, but an interesting look at white backlashes against black emancipation and progress.

Todd Green - The Fear of Islam: An Introduction to Islamophobia in the West Fairly accessible and well-written discussion of how Islamophobia works.

The book Readings for Diversity and Social Justice is pretty powerful and follows a nice format: Naming the issue, discussing historical context, discussing with stats how it currently stands, personal stories from oppressed peoples, and next steps to create change.

Each chapter follows a different type of oppression with racesim at the forefront. What Adams is so good at is pointing out that nearly every oppressed demographic (age, gender, religion, disability, class, etc) is also affected by race. Race is intersected with all of these and cannot be separated. I've really enjoyed it.

In high school, I did an extended essay on attitudes towards African-Americans in film during the civil rights movement. I kind of rushed it but this book was my main source - it's really great reading for anyone interested in race, even if you don't know much about film. I didn't find any documentaries so if you ever do find one, please share.

Since you're looking for different forms of media what you may want to find are interviews on YouTube. Spike Lee is a good bet, especially if you can get an interview about Do the Right Thing.

Initially this seemed to read like old news. There exists literature in psychology about identity development (Beverly Tatum's <em>Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?</em> covers childhood and developmental psychology very well) but I suppose adult, post-formed identity is new territory.

Tatum cites work done by William Cross on racial identity development that explains why some Blacks would be happier. When trying to assimilate into white normative culture, there is a form of self-repression. There can also be anger at a society that wants you to assimilate but will never accept you. The only thing that can make someone happy in this situation is to embrace the identity that society forces upon them and making it a positive thing.

r/psychology's out-of-hand dismissal was rather surprising, but then again, I don't know how many of the commenters are academic or practicing psychologists, or just pop-(or worse, evo-)psych enthusiasts. The op did have some interesting comments regarding hir multiracial children.

Thank you for your comment. It is very illuminating and I think there are some similarities and lessons we can take from each other.
