Myth: There's only one human race 🌈🤝
Reality: Because humans exterminated all the others

[legman528]

There can be truths that will be PERCEIVED as racist, sexist, or hurtful, but they are just simple facts. If I say "men are better athletes than women", many will say it is sexist or hurtful, but there are scientific facts to back it up.

[normalice]

For one thing, hurtful is not the same as racist or sexist. Indeed the difference is something hurtful can be true, but something sexist or racist is, at best, leaving out important context.

[Jessica405]

O. The truth isn't any of those things. What is hurtful is how we perceive the truth.

[HelpfulWoman]

no, because the truth isn't "setting out to be hurtful" . it's not being prejudiced

[Asker]

What if the truth is that humans are prejudiced

[Asker]

and if they aren't prejudiced all it does is weaken and end with the end if humanity

[Asker]

Basically Buddhism... the whole goal is to destroy your will to live by "enlightenment" to the point that you cease existing. Except you Don't slowly degrade from a human to a cow to a rat to an insect to a bacteria with further "enlightenment", human races steadily decline as a whole until they cease to exist.

[HelpfulWoman]

humans by nature will always be prejudiced in some way.

[Dargil]

These statements are true.
*American Slavery was the essence of racism.
*Democrats refusal to grant women the vote was sexist
*LGBTQ is abnormal. Saying do is hurtful.

[msc545]

@Dargil It is statistically abnormal in that it isn't average. Did you mean something else?

[Dargil]

@msc545 Yes. It is inconsistent with Human reproductive strategy.

[Asker]

Just because racists can be stupid doesn't mean racism is a sign of a weak human

[Asker]

FYI, women couldn't vote for a whole 10 years after men were given the right to vote. America was a temocracy, not a democracy, until ww1 when it was decided to give people the right to vote and then make them eligible to be drafted

[Dargil]

That must be the opinion of a racist. Racism/bigotry IS weakness.

[Dargil]

Like being an anti-semite or a Trump hater. Weakness of the spirit.

[msc545]

good answer

[Asker]

it very clearly isn't a sign of "weakness of the spirit". in fact it's a sign of strength of the spirit

[Dargil]

" it was decided ". Clarification, Republicans decided.

[boggboss]

Yes the truth can be hurtful lol if someone admits to cheating on you or hurting you or the Dr tells you a love one has passed it would hurt no

[genericname85]

well if a law is racist and the law exists as a true fact, then yes, truth can be racist. like affimative action for example. it's a racist truth.

[onedarkcloud]

These days telling the truth is racist, telling a lie is racist, looking left is racist, looking right is racist looking down is racist looking up is racist, ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU DO IS CONSIDERED RACIST TODAY

[exitseven]

No, but that is all the democrats have. They certainly cannot run on their stellar accomplishments.

[Becky316]

If it is true, then no. If it is only true from some person or group's point of view the yes it can be racist.

[OtterMan68]

Depends on how it's used. People used Darwin's theories in the early 20th century to promote racism

[Paul09]

People hate the truth. So they call it racists hateful or sexist. All depends what you say and how you say it.

[BarryLiverstone]

Yes the truth can hurt someone’s feelings. But the truth isn’t racist

[strateguy632]

it usualy is... true.

[laly520]

truth do hurt at times but never racist

[DextroShade]

Yes, it usually is.

[gorydetails]

No, never.
