#white centrality

[anderao]

Whenever world history is brought up in casual discussions on the internet, it’s almost always for a white audience discussing white people’s past. But the catch is, they don’t say white. They just say people or men or women, effectively erasing all the black and brown and asian people that ever lived. It’s deeply inaccurate and frankly, disturbing.

White Person: You know, this conversation about race has become really hostile, and I feel unsafe, this is no longer a safe space

Person of Color: The word you are looking for is uncomfortable. You do not feel unsafe bitch, unsafe is what I feel when I wonder if I'm going to get brutalized by the cop who just pulled me over. You are feeling discomfort.

Ok but with the impossible, first of all the area where the tsunami hit was in a HUGE tourist location, as in thousands of tourists were in the city when it hit, a lot of them white. Also, they chose to follow the story of that particular family bc of the seemingly impossible miracles that brought a family together after surviving one of the most devastating events in history, they didn't do it bc they're white. I know white washing is a huge problem, but this movie isn't a good example of it

The impossible miracle is that only white people's experiences of calamities are the ones worth featuring.
