Trying to keep this concise without revealing too many details, so here goes.
A conference hosted by a think tank in Europe. Not a constituent meet-and-greet, so instead of the typical culture war bullshit, it was mainly business. I was there for a career-related reason. [UWSL]A member of the U.S. Congress flew over to talk about trade policy, the USMCA, the broader transatlantic relationship in the post-Brexit era, and to reaffirm the U.S.' commitment to NATO. [/UWSL]
[UWSL]Look, nobody really attends these events just so they can listen to a speech probably drafted by a nameless intern; they come for the Q-and-A. And so after a brief speech, this middle-aged Western European foid asks the congressperson (paraphrasing): "So with the release of the results of the 2020 Census, there's a degree of concern in some circles here that given the increasing racial diversity of the United States, that in the future the United States won't value the US-UK and US-EU relationship as highly. How do you respond to that?"[/UWSL]
[UWSL]I thought that that was a highly racist question. Built into that question was the assumption that Americans (most of whom don't actually give a fuck about the minutiae of foreign policy) build their views on diplomacy based solely around their ethnicity. The foid's question also implied that non-white Americans are less likely to support liberal, democratic values; or that the[/UWSL][UWSL] transatlantic relationship is built around racial interests as opposed to a broader, more normative understanding of liberal, democratic values. In an American context, both of these implications should be regarded as offensive; non-white individuals generally do not have any allegiance to any foreign power, and these questions reinforce the assumption of ethnicels as "perpetual outsiders". [/UWSL]
Now, to her credit, the (white) congresswoman responded by saying that she represents a diverse district, that the U.S. values its racial diversity, and that certain shared values will maintain the U.S.' commitment to Europe into the future. But I did wish she had addressed the foid's implicit racism somewhat more forcefully.
The reason I decided to write about this is to discuss the insidious xenophobia that these mostly cumskin Redditcucks seem to be blind to. There is little support for their delusional belief that ethnicels don't face any discrimination and stereotyping, overt or implicit, and that this discrimination doesn't indirectly influence ethnicels' SMV.
