    anglo ways

    It’s funny that my Mexican dad calls it the same thing. Lol

    I think that the worst of these ways is using niceness as a means to disqualify whatever you have to say.

    It means that if you’ve been personally hurt by the majority and have a visceral reaction to something that they’re justified in ignoring you if you don’t say it with a smile.

      Oh I hate that. “Well if you want people to listen to you you should behave and not get angry or fight back.” Is so fucking vile imo. People have the right to be angry at terrible things and fight back against terrible things.
