Ok what planet did Hannah or that other woman ever think that this venture was going to be successful? Did Hannah expect to go “soz for the racist slur lads, here’s a pointless story about sainsburys new Christmas sandwich”
People don’t forget stuff like this
exactly this.
I think this just highlights not only her delusion but also her white privilege.
as a white woman, I have never felt the hurt or pain of a racial slur, neither has Hannah. She totally has misunderstood and minimised how hurtful this is to people of Asian heritage. She misread the room totally.
If you’re reading here Hannah, I’m not about giving you a load of personal hatred. What I am going to say is that there is scientific literature which suggests individuals who are exposed to microaggressions, racism and bias in the western world live stressful lives, affecting their bodies at A CELLULAR LEVEL. This is linked to chronic illness and shorter telomeres (genetic life span.) In short, racism hurts individuals in a way we as white women cannot understand personally, but in a way we can understand biologically, in the long term it damages physical health in a way scientists are only just starting to understand.
to be anti-racist, you must be curative to this problem. Trauma is just so powerful there is a ome emerging evidence it can be inherited.
It is so clear to me that there was no period of reflection and research into racism and being anti-Racist. While disappointed, I am not at all surprised either.
