Here's a study that says haye crimes are up 67% : http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-hate-crimes-20171116-story.html

Definitely follow up on the band thing. I also have similar problems with finding political groups, but keep at it. You might want to look into meetup.com just to interact with some other people. Think of it this way: worst case, you'll be back at square one. You don't really have anything to lose.

Male socialization (and its less-frequently seen counterpart female socialization) refers to the impact being raised as a male (or female) has on an individual. Among other things, it implies that every assigned-male person is socialized the same way (when other axes of oppression such as class, ability, and race play a huge role in what "being a man" looks like, or even if "being a man" is something you are allowed or meant to strive towards) and that every assigned-male person internalizes that socialization the same way (despite the fact that many AMAB trans people, especially trans women, have had experiences to the contrary).

I see it commonly used by trans-exclusionary feminists of many kinds (not just radfems), but you also occasionally see the "female socialization" bit being used by trans men and other AFAB people to justify being allowed in women's only feminist spaces. In turn, this results in trans women being banned from spaces that are supposedly meant for all women, because apparently there is no way to fully combat what you have been raised to be, regardless of whether or not you ever identified with that way of being raised.

Meredith Talusan writes about her experiences of not feeling the impact of gendered socialization until late childhood in this article.

At its root, the concept of male socialization is really set in white, North American / Western European cultural standards of gender. And, consequently, its a tool that's most commonly used by white cis western feminists to keep trans women out of women's spaces.

I've heard this one recommended by someone whose opinions on racism I deeply respect:

White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism. By Dr. Robin DiAngelo and a foreword by Michael Eric Dyson.

Haven't read it myself, though, yet.

No.

Juan is a pretty easily pronounced name. But yet it was rejected on resumes far more times than John.

Here is a great article of a lot of statistical findings about racism. One particularly distressing finding is that black applicants without a criminal record were less likely to be hired than white applicants with a criminal record.

Coming back to necropost, because I just read an article that reminded me of this thread:

I don't know about the ecological engineering aspect of it, but in addition to the Flint water crisis (which would make a great topic!) some places to look might be:

Industrial pollution in poor and minority neighborhoods

Radioactive contamination in the Navajo nation

It looks like they're pretty active about responding to feedback on the app store. And they'll call you 'Lord' too. eyes rolling

I think an understanding of capitalism helps a great deal, though not necessarily from an anti-capitalist perspective. In this category I would put forward anything from Naomi Klein, such as The Shock Doctrine.

It's historical fiction but Jam on the Vine is about a turn of the 20th century black family that highlights both how much has changed and how little has changed with institutional racism.

You'd probably be interested in environmental justice/environmental racism issues then. The grandfather of that field is Robert Bullard--his most famous book, <em>Dumping in Dixie: Race, Class, and Environmental Quality</em> just recently turned 25 years old.
