Pejorative is not wacist.
Thank you for finally admitting it, you daft idiot.
It is a pejorative term used to demean an entire race of people which is indeed racist.
Such terms are often used to perpetuate negative stereotypes, reinforce power dynamics, and discriminate against individuals based on their race or ethnicity.
Racist language and behaviour contribute to systemic racism by marginalising and oppressing certain groups while reinforcing the privilege of others.
Using racial slurs or derogatory language to demean or belittle a particular racial or ethnic group is a form of racism because it perpetuates harmful attitudes and beliefs about that group.
It reflects a lack of respect for the dignity and humanity of individuals of that race or ethnicity.
This is exactly the aim you, and the other cowardly losers like you on here are shooting for with the use of the word.
Cry all you like, manifest whatever reality/safespace you need to justify your inferiority and hate, but it doesn't change the truth. Today's SadRoo post is bought to you by the words bluster, braying and bombast.
Pejorative is not wacist. Some people, cultures, customs etc are worse ( the meaning of pejorative) than others.
Just as some people, cultures customs etc are better than others.
‘So long as it sells’
The Warlpiri-run Warlukurlangu Centre at Yuendemu, 300 kilometres northwest of Alice Springs, is also defying the post-GFC downturn in the Aboriginal art market. For over 15 years, it has been run by two Chilean women. “They hired me because I’m an outsider,” says Cecilia Alfonso. “They don’t want some hippie-dippy well-intentioned person to run their business … I could sell rice to China!”
Alfonso and her business partner, Gloria Morales, monitor the market closely. The centre turns over about 8,000 artworks a year, compared to around 300 when they started.
Traditional owner and artist Andrea Nungarrayi Martin is unconcerned whether the artists paint their traditional “tjukurrpa” or dreaming story, or decide to do something non-sacred. “Doesn’t matter – so long as it sells,” she told us. It’s another twist in the “authenticity” debate around Aboriginal art.
