Not White does not mean Not Misogynist

Not a very profound insight, I know, but sometimes, I forget. I forget that non-white guys are not necessarily less misogynistic than their white peers. They might be, because they are more likely to have faced discrimination, but that isn't a given that they'll be able to relate that to sexism. Some may even be using their race as a cover for their misogynism, thats what I'm starting to see.

Maybe American non-white dudes have the possibility of being less misogynist than American white dudes. But in my experience dudes from other countries can be especially bad. At least, other countries where women are still a lot more oppressed than here...that's what they're used to I suppose. So that's how they act.
