    Fun Fact: The actor who played the Black Ranger actually REQUESTED to be the Black Ranger as he was initially supposed to be one of the other Rangers. He requested to be the Black Ranger SPECIFICALLY because he thought that an African American playing one of the others would be confusing as when people said "I like the Black Power Ranger" others would be wondering if the meant the actor who was playing one of the other Rangers or the Black Ranger themselves.

      he also developed "hip-hop fu" on the fly during his audition upon request because the producers wanted something cool and American to help the American side of the show mesh well with the Japanese part (the costumed part was from the Japanese version of the show, hence why the yellow ranger was clearly a guy)
      the reason they asked him specifically was because he was the only actor that had both Karate and dance training and the producers thought ofthe idea of meshing them both when they learned of his talents during his audition

    The childrens book with the "beautiful" and "ugly" pictures weren't even accidental. Colorism is a real problem in India (I'm assuming it's India based on the sarees and also that I had a similar book as a child), and the word for fair "gora/gori/gore" is basically a synomyn for beautiful. It's not accidental, that's how people actually think.

    the "no colored pencils" "colored pencils only" is actually because colored pencils (especially cheap ones) often have super fragile lead. Even hand-sharpening can be too aggressive on them, or the lead is already broken inside from being dropped too hard.
    The first sharpener is much more aggressive than the second. In addition, the second one is fairly easy to troubleshoot (ie lead broke off inside the grinder part and is wedged in place, preventing the machine from sharpening any other pencils). Having used the second one more than a few times myself, it really is a life saver.

    I heard of a story that was accidentally racist. It was HILARIOUS! It went something like this: There was a family having a reunion and the two groups were named Black and White (the family was white). Both sets were in the pool and it was time for pictures if memory serves and one of the parents shouted: “All Black kids out of the pool!” The person who was telling the story went around to all of the black families with their ID to prove that it wasn’t racist, apologized because the family member was calling for the Black family children to get out of the pool.

    6:45 I’ve seen this one before, and I’m 99% sure it’s from an Indian children’s book. A lot of east/ south-east asia has extremely colourist beauty standards, and will often deem people with naturally tanned skin as inferior. If you want to see an example of how bonkers it can get just search for Chou Tzuyu, see what she looks like with your own eyes and then be forcefully reminded that she’s been criticised for having dark skin her entire career, as well as faced back handed compliments such as ‘You’re so pretty for a tan girl’. Sh!ts wild.

      Except i call this believe xenophobic aka. believing it is colorist when that has nothing to do with colonialism.
      It has to do with classicism.
      This people don't want white skin: they want LIGHT skin.
      Why?
      Think about a time period where people (usually) worked from dawn till dusk EVERY day and had no free time (other than maybe winter).
      With lighter skin who tans?
      Everyone that is a lot outside:
      Homeless, fisher, farmers etc.
      Who does not?
      Scribes, priests, high born.
      The higher the rank the kess dark your skin.
      Think for example of Ancient Egyptian drawings. The people with lighter skin are always the women as they were in the house.
      Meaning from far away you can SEE what rank someone has - poor people can't pretend to be high class and other way around.
      This is were such "beauty" standards in homogen populations come from.
      It changes - and should - when populations mix on a high level.
      Because pretending everyone is completly "equal" does not work. Everyone is human and should have the same rights but already at chances it is not possible - maybe in an ideal world but i doubt we will ever get there and it seems to get worse at the moment and not better.

    I knew a kid in highschool who wore a handful of crosses as rings and emblems on his boots. They seemed familiar but I couldn't quite remember from where. One day it clicked that these were iron crosses, a symbol adopted by nazis and white supremacists.

    In German itself, there would be no problem with this. There is a clear distinction between "race: the biological category" and "race: the competition". First is "die Rasse", second "das Rennen".
    And to go one step further: the English "race" (competition) is linguistically related to the German verb "rasen" (to move very quickly, to speed). But the identical German NOUN "Rasen" comes from a different origin, and means "lawn".

    Prejudice against black dogs is not uncommon, I believe. It's been described as "Black Dog Syndrome" by many animal welfare workers, who say that black dogs (and cats) are harder to adopt out than animals of other colours. To my understanding, many people believe that black dogs are more aggressive than others (unless they're small or Labradors 🤦‍♀), and many people still hold on to the misconception about black cats bringing bad luck.

    My tale is not one of accidental racism, but of accidental homophobia.
    You see, back when I was 12, I was starting to become fluent in English, but I was just barely getting the hang on curse words. The 1st one I ever learned was f*ck, the last one was... a certain slur that also starts with an f (you can probably infer which one, it rhymes with 'bag').
    So, anyway, in the time between learning the first cuss word and the last one, I was also in a dumb phase where I thought it was cute to swap cuss words for more innocent words, like fudge -except that back then I still didn't know that word. Do you see where this is going by now?
    So, I really don't remember how it came to be, but some a-hole told me, when I asked, that the f-slur-that-rhymes-with-bag just meant "a piece of cloth", or something (which it actually does), "it's harmless", they said.

When my husband said "hot", the server just stood there until my husband asked, "Do you mean Indian hot or Canadian hot?" When the server clarified that he meant hot by Indian standards, we asked for mild. It was still way too hot for me.

      @@mikethegoo if you're sensitive about weight and it was a topic, then you probably remember many of the comments. good intentions or not, you stay up night overthinking them and hating yourself. also if you're old enough to be talking about losing weight, you're probably already in puberty and self-conscious about your body.
      I don't remember much of last ten years cause it doesn't hurt me now, but i still remember every single comment given to me in middle school about my weight. i was 165cm(5.5feet) and 100-110lbs (45-50kg) and based on all the comments I thought I was the fattest person in town under 15yo.
      and all of those comments are under the guide of "concern" and "good intentions". the OP here apologized immediately and they clearly had only genuinely nice intentions, it's more that feeling, that original jolt in the gut, that even though people dont think you need to lose weight, you feel like you do, and the words get connected to your emotions. brains tend to believe what they're already biased towards believing. considering western society, we're mostly preprogrammed to believe losing weight is good, so statistically, people do remember mild comments.

    I noticed that I, in my tiredness, had forgotten to bend the required fingers. I was just standing there with my hand raised. In Germany. As a German. I swear I became religious again for 5 minutes, praying my hardest no one had noticed.

    I think I realized a lot of white people have a low tolerance for spice when we had a pot luck in church. The expat missionaries, americans, kept saying they loved one of the dishes and how spicy it was. It had soy sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper. That's it.

    1:40 what's funny about this is that a lot of kitchens also do this for cutting boards. Generally speaking, green is vegetables, red is red meat, yellow is chicken, blue seafood, and purple is for allergens. White is generally multi-purpose.
    I'm not really sure what the restaurants plates are for, but if it is following the same color scheme, then the yellow plate probably means it's a chicken dish. White generally means it's multi-purpose, so if they don't have a red plate that it's probably used for red meat and vegetable dishes. I have no clue what black is supposed to be, but kitchens often use blue to denote seafood and purple to denote allergens, so I'd be willing to bet it's probably one of those two
