"Electronic Dance Music Festivals Fraught With White Privilege"

[Igel]

28. I've seen worse.

People who didn't learn "their" language--that of their grandparents. Or wondering why somebody from race X would learn a language spoken almost entirely by members of race Z (sub in "ethnicity" for "race" in many cases).

They don't get that race =/= culture =/= language =/= behavior. Anybody from pretty much any race can fully display any cultural trait, language, or behavior. (With a very few, very marginal exceptions that are purely genetic.)

It usually comes down to something like racial or ethnic purity or "resurgence." Which, in many cases, is nationalism and fascism and decried as evil. In many other cases when it's a group whose purity or separate racial/ethnic survival is at stake, is justified. (I've seen people argue for Spanish being encouraged and protected in the US because it could be "endangered" by the majority-language English. Blank looks met the comment that Spanish was going to be alive and well from the Rio Grande down to the Tierra del fuego for many a year to come, regardless of what happened in the US. It wasn't about the language. It was about politics, demographics, advocacy, and power.)
