White people's fixation on
inconsequential social norms is a way to
structurally keep out non-white people
who lack the cultural capital and
privilege to know every one of these
inane social rules we're supposed to
perform to be granted the jobs and
resources we fucking deserve.

As people who lack white or class
privilege know, not possessing this
cultural capital causes intense anxiety
and alienation. Networking events, office
small talk, interviews are often dreadful
experiences bc we're being judged
according to rules that were set up for us
to fail.

Everyone who has experienced the dread
& anxiety of being in a room full of
privileged white people and literally not
knowing what they're talking about and
second guessing everything you do,
knows that these "proper politeness"
rules are just a way to alienate &
marginalize us.

These social norms of the dominant
group create intense emotional strain for
marginalized peoples. They cause
immense mental labor for us to learn and
mimic these behaviors, fear that
resources will be withheld, and anxiety
when we can't contort ourselves to fit
their demands.

THISTHISTHIS, and linguistic prescriptivism also falls into this category. Completely pointless, historically arbitrary way to keep TALENT + MERIT as secondary qualifiers. “First impressions matter” my ass. Get Gen Xs out of hiring positions
Someone didn’t send a thank you email.
I always love it when some idiot takes a single person’s actions and uses them to generalize about “white people” or “men” or whoever.
white people’s fixations on inconsequential social norms
Who wants to tell this guy about, say, Japanese tea ceremonies? In fact, this statement is not only racist against white people, it’s racist against non-whites too.
the jobs we [CENSORED] deserve
Isn’t that for the hiring manager to determine, not you? If you’re throwing this pseudoinellectual, racist, self-entitled tantrum over a single hiring manager requiring a minor courtesy, why would anyone want to hire you? Do you think most white applicants are automatically going know they should send a thank you letter?
“First impressions matter” my ass.
You…you do realize that concept isn’t remotely limited to Gen Xers, right?
How fucking low does the bar have to be that asking for a thank you is too fucking much?
Pathetic doesn’t even begin to cover it.
I thought it was common sense to say thank you for getting hired but it turns out I’ve been a superior, high class white male all along. I learn so much on Tumblr everyday.
“nonwhites are idiotic caveman with zero basic social skills” sounds kind of racist to me.](https://pics.me.me/thumb_jessica-liebman-ajessicaliebman-follow-hey-i-wrote-something-ive-been-54400455.png)
