Is it racist if I insult my own race?

The correct person says no if it's true, but the politically correct person says you cannot insult any race.

@JoanieNewHampshire: If I say black people commit more crime and asian people have a higher IQ than whites and blacks, I will accept such truths, but the politically correct people will see those comments as insulting and racist.
Well because they are. Stereotypes can be true. But to generalize in such a way is being racist. (Associating a behavior to everyone of a race. just as sexism is associating a stereotype to a sex. ) you can't generalize. Each person regardless of race or sex or any other grouping is an individual first. Not seeing this is the isms people dispiese. And that is not politically correct. It is simply correct.@tynamite:

@JoanieNewHampshire: Nobody is associating a behaviour to everyone in a race. What people are doing is generalising. Facts can't be racist. It sounds like you're PC.
@tynamite: and it sounds like your pragmatic. And what is wrong with not generalizing about people. I've seen to many people pigeon holed because of their sex and their race. Is that ok to do?

@JoanieNewHampshire: It depends on the context.
@tynamite: should I simply generalize about you, your sex your race your positions your age? Or would you rather I understand you for who and what you are with out attaching those other labels?

@JoanieNewHampshire: I don't believe gender is a social construct. I believe that men and women have different brains, behaviours and thoughts. I also believe that the same is true of race.
@tynamite: if you hold those "opinions" you are being racist and sexist. Perhaps not to the point where you are phobic or violent. But still not open enough to see beyond race and gender.

@JoanieNewHampshire: It's not racist and sexist to speak the truth, you PC moron.
@tynamite: and your truth comes out loud and clear! It always does when the idioms begin to fly!

Have a lovely day! 🌸 And remember what you are is in what you say to what upsets you. ✌️❤️💋
