This really isn’t a conversation you should be in.
(cutting for dashes– re: the princess thing)
I’ve been thanked a couple times for the perspective I’ve offered but I also hesitated to post my opinion because you’re correct that it’s not a subject I can fully participate in. I don’t plan to contribute anymore.
Actually I feel that’s bullshit and its exceptionally important for everyone to be in this conversation. There’s no way this sort of thing is ever going to be resolved if people don’t sit down and talk about it.
(The person speaking about “racism 101″ was not talking; they were shouting down from their pulpit.)
