  • We're not expecting you to see people in terms of race. That would be profiling. You're being far too literal and not making a point in good faith by trying to equate visual impairment in this context.

    Please look up the difference between equality and equity, and why equality isn't sufficient and can in fact still be exclusionary in today's reality. That's the point we're trying to make here.

  • When you say something like "I don't see color" or "I don't see race", you're actively dismissing an immutable part of a person's identity, which is insulting. You can acknowledge and appreciate someone's race without treating them differently because of it.

  • This is very true, and all you need to look at is Wisconsin 2022. Mandela Barnes (D) narrowly lost the Senate race to Ron Johnson (R), but Tony Evers (D) crushed Tim Michels (R) for governor. Given the numbers, this would've been impossible without some split ticket votes.

  • Oh, of course U.S. policy at large won't change. It hasn't for decades. The difference here, for the election at least, is that Kamala doesn't have to balance words vs actions. Biden and Trump have both lost Arab-Americans. Kamala doesn't have that challenge.

  • Don't also forget the liability Biden had with Arab-Americans over Gaza. Kamala is not Commander-in-Chief, so even though she's part of the administration she carries none of that baggage.

    Can't wait to see what the disinformation brigade cooks up for Lemmy now that they can't keep complaining about Gaza.
