Why is it that no one told her she was being racist? They danced around that word for some reason, but never said it...I found that odd.

That's because if you're a racist you are being ignorant but the latter word does not carry hundreds of years of pain. Words that also fit the bill, stupid, idiot, hateful.. All of those are loaded words that WILL cause the offending person to take even more a defensive stance..

I love people who are willing and able to stand up for a stranger. Their boldness and kindness always tends to choke me up a little.

Especially when they curb stomp the shit out of a stereotype and kick it's ass around the block twice.

Jesus people. Can no one else see how faked, scripted and shot this is?

For fucks sake...

^Hehehe, I love it when people don't use the stupid sarcasm button

I couldn't figure out how they got some of the camera angles. I wrote it off to the advances in technology rather than being scripted.

If it was scripted, that is some mighty fine acting.

Racism in the US is exclusively anti-black racism. I don't think black people can be racist against white people. Discrimination, maybe. But its still not the same= there is not an entire society backing it up. Anti-black racism carries with it an enormous historic force of precedent that remains in Amerikkka today. A black person is shot by the police every 26 hours there.

Its not just about individual ignorance. Its a consciousness that is reflecting economic relations that the US is built on, mainly slavery and its later apartheid forms.

This video remains interesting, but there are actual substantive arguments to be made against inter-racial relationships that it doesn't elaborate. Mainly, a systematic critique of whiteness and the many forms of anti-black racism, some subtle, some not so much, that are bound to come up in inter-racial relationships.

But didn't people use all those other words in the piece, just not 'racist'? Perhaps not, I don't have time to watch it again right now.
EDIT: OK, not exactly those, but many loaded words were used that were definitely intended to be offensive, like 'you're not a woman, your a bird, get out of here birdy'.
I understand your point, but since many weren't worried about the words they used or how the offender would take them, it seemed wrong that they excluded that one word that described her behavior exactly.
I just saw it as the norm, where 'people of color' can't possibly be 'racist', so we call them something else. That bothers me. Just look at the comment above...I find the sentiment not only stupid and short sighted, but absolutely wrong. Simply because a majority of racism went in one direction does not mean it's a one way street.
If you discriminate against a person based on their race, you are racist. Period. If you think your race somehow absolves you of that character flaw, you're a racist idiot.
I'll try to ignore the unfounded, unexplained, anti-race mixing racist sentiment directly above, it's not deserving of response IMO, only ridicule.
