Neither am I an expert (or even an informed novice) on international
expressions of racism and immorality and I agree with Judy that it may be a
question of scale. My inclination is to start from the micro end of the
scale. If racism is a narrative that a community tells to maintain the status
quo, then so is gender bias. And that is something that everyone is expert at
(or at least has the potential to be so.)Or is the international topic easier
or more comfortable because we can objectify it? I realize that it is a
preference of mine to relate discussions of such import to myself,
personally, as a means of understanding. If I don't see how it will teach me
something, I have difficulty remaining motivated. Also, I want to look
through other's eyes at the problems that are so close to me that I cannot
see them.
So, I also hope to pursue the morality theme mentioned and that it stay
closer to home.
