Its not fair (Social)

Ever wondered about the term "Its not fair"? A simple phrase, but very racist, since it says that "fair" or "white" is right, and "unfair" or brown/black is wrong. Probably your reaction is "Give me a break!". I wish I could be easy about this seemingly harmless comment. But I couldn't, hence this post! You may have heard comments such as "its mighty white of you to say that" or "its very Christian of you". Many of us would not use such comments, and would probably raise an eyebrow when we heard it. But maybe that's just because these comments are still new, while "its not fair" has been in use for a long time. In the beginning, maybe people raised an eyebrow, but then let it slide, and slowly it entered the normal conversation to such an extent that white, brown, asians and black freely use it now without a thought. It is possible that some years down the line the other comments find their way into everyday conversations as well. Personally, I don't use "its not fair" because "its not correct"!
