I mean yes, but not in a way that's likely to result in significant harm, even in the long term. It's the kind of thing that being white myself (and having IBS on top), I would feel comfortable laughing at.
Yeah, I wish there was a word for scenarios that are technically racist, be we don't want to devalue the word by invoking it for stuff that your privileged ass can easily live with. It'd make all the MAGA word game bullshit slightly harder for them to pull off.
race-ish?
Totally true that.
Just having a single word for "I have to ask for more spices" and for "I got hanged from a tree" and everything in between these two makes it so easy to devalue the whole concept.
Honestly I would settle for people just recognizing the infinite complexity of the universe but apparently that's just my high openness in the OCEAN assessment.
