so you think people should use a token black person even though that’s not representative of the actual minorities. don’t you think that’s racist in itself?
One thing that always surprises me is the inability of many Americans to accept that the whole world is not US. We are simply not fighting the political and racial battles that they have. In order to be a citizen in a globalized world, one has to be able to see things from perspectives of different societies, not impose their own perspective on everyone. I agree that the original comment about racial diversity makes sense in US and I would completely agree with it if the site was about US or similar countries where there are significant visually-distinguishable minorities. However, it simply doesn’t make sense in Lithuania. Also in many other EU members
the french history of black slavery is worse than that of the US, which is why there is a considerable black minority in france. this is not the case for lithuania, or many other european countries.
