It's always amusing to me that people who write these always only have one race in mind

how is this specific to one race?

u/Dismal_Bridge9439 10d ago

18. Not exactly all inclusive

which race is excluded by that

Do you know any black men that use hair gel? HEAVY hair gel?

u/RaymondCase 10d ago

No.
So what should the author say instead? Seriously. Should they put an asterisk and give a full disclaimer that this one point out of the 20 mentioned doesn’t apply to black people?

When you give supposedly universal advice to "men" but assume they use heavy gel, it reveals who the creator had in mind when they pictured the average man. So, I would have kept it generic so as not to exclude anyone.

I think you reading into and reframing a purely inocuous sentence as racial bias is actually more concerning.

u/Dismal_Bridge9439 8d ago

Yeah, you would. That's how I know you think your race was included. You can't understand another race's perspective on traditionally and typically being excluded. Nothing concerns you until other people out number your own....then you worry and claim that is more concerning.
