[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 weeks ago* (3 children) Tbh how do you draw the gradient of "protecting culture" and "racism"? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Poxlox@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago Easy. You stop using "protecting culture" as a racist dog whistle. You protecting culture by preserving landmarks, education, helping families survive economically, having festivals and national support. You don't do it by deliberately targeting people based on race or race-adjacent qualities. BTW most racism in the world has DECIMATED native culture. Including Japan, with the Ainu. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Boost@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago I draw the line when you start deliberately targeting people to exclude on the basis of their race or culture. Also, preventing other people from experiencing a culture does not protect it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] GiantChickDicks@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago So, in order to protect culture you can't share it? Seems silly. permalink fedilink source parent
