The Danish health minister should “get on a plane and visit” some of the thousands of women thought to be living with the consequences of being forcibly fitted with the contraceptive coil as children, Greenland’s gender equality minister has said.
In an attempt to reduce the population of the former Danish colony, at least 4,500 women and girls are believed to have undergone the medical procedure, usually without their consent or knowledge, at the hands of Danish doctors between 1966 and 1970 alone.
The total number of those affected by the procedures, thought to have continued for decades, is understood to be far higher. Victims and their lawyers say generations of Inuit women were left traumatised and suffering reproductive complications, including infertility, as a result of the Danish state’s policy.
Earlier this month, a group of 143 women sued the Danish state over the alleged violations, but they have yet to receive a response from the government, despite the Danish prime minister visiting Greenland – now an autonomous territory of Denmark – soon after.
I dunno, it’s almost like white is literally different to all those other racial categories.
I’ll give you one chance to understand this. This is how racism is defined by actual scholars of the subject:
Racism equals power plus prejudice: A social psychological equation for racial oppression.
Anti-white racism doesn’t exist because although prejudicial attitudes do exist, and nobody is saying they don’t, the power to back up that prejudice does not, so it doesn’t rise to the level of racism.
I’m white and I am not threatened by people verbally denigrating whiteness, because the power relation isn’t there. It’s a pretty simple concept if you actually want to understand it.
EDIT: I may as well give you some easier reading that is still from an academic institution. At least you have a chance of reading that: https://www.vu.edu.au/about-vu/news-events/news/what-is-reverse-racism-and-whats-wrong-with-the-term
Go ahead, shock me by learning something.
