Good White Folks

Hey, come on in.  We've got some home made chicken and curry soup for ya.  It's tasty and clears out your head.

So I've been experimenting with something.  Y'see I've often heard the phrase, after someone makes what is essentially a racist remark, 'Oh but I don't mean you, you're one of the good Indians.'  Or something to that effect.  Well.  I've decided to start pointing out when you're one of the good White Folks.

What do I mean by a good white folk?  Well, if you show an actual understanding of racism in its various forms and understand concepts like white privilege, systemic racism, and cultural bias then you're one of the good white folks.  My boss who I teach a class with is in on it too.  I refer to her as one of the good white folks.  I mean c'mon, she works for an Indian!

I want you to know I find this entire experiment endlessly amusing.
