Simply implanting the suggestion that the listener misheard the supposed racial remark is all that's necessary. Acting on a knee-jerk reaction to a remark is never cool, and can exponentially backfire and plausibly be redoubled back on you as projecting your own racism by being so quick to assume others are making racist statements. "Your overeagerness to cite racism/sexism/discrimination seems to reveal the struggle you have with your own," is another.</p>MikeTue, 05 Aug 2008 01:47:28 -0000http://laughingsquid.com/how-to-tell-people-they-sound-racist-by-jay-smooth/#comment-1064848<p>I thought this was an awesome post. I liked what he had to say. Comic Con is a fascinating place I hope to go to next year along with Burning Man. </p>SupernetuserThu, 31 Jul 2008 16:39:42 -0000
