When she was elected in 2023, Chow became the first racialized person to serve as mayor

Does racialized just mean non-white?

Jesus fucking Christ I did not know that's what radicalized meant

Wow I'm an idiot

[-] potatomuncher@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Yeah. It's white speak for "those coloured folks" when they want to sound sophisticated and not-racist...

Another one they use is "people of colour". But never refer to their own as "people without colour".

[-] g8phcon2@k.fe.derate.me 1 points 6 days ago

Or in this case whites are those without race?

[-] potatomuncher@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Yea, pretty much.

"We are the default human beings and those over there are 'racialized' others".

It's basically veiled, polite, left-wing white supremacy in the anglosphere. But without the slurs and outward hostility.
