From the mind of critic: “If we call people racists because they ignorantly categorize and stereotype, do we realize when we categorize and stereotype? Do we always think through our statements about others, and make sure they’re accurate? Do we convince ourselves at any point that these statements are accurate, but fail to see the generalizations we utilize? Is there ever any group who thinks all one way or all another, or do we simply believe people we don’t know think monolithically, because we’re too ignorant to realize we don’t know every person in the world? When we don’t know somebody, sometimes we make assumptions about who, what, where, why and how this person said something, thinking one comment covers the entire breadth of who they are. These assumptions morph and mutate when left unchecked, becoming ugly and hate filled darkness, a philosophy we espoused dislike for when used on us. Now some people do commit hateful acts of violence, specifically based on them believing certain people, shouldn’t have certain rights. We should definitely do what we can, to stop these instances when we can. However, if we don’t want to fall into the same trap, we must look at ourselves as human, and realize that sometimes people we disagree with aren’t Nazis, racists and hatemongers, they’re just people with whom we disagree. Of course, unless we objectively and humanely investigate, we’ll never know either way.”
