white comfort is a superior need for society than anything else

英語のタイムラインに #Karen てのがやたら流れてくるから何だ？と思って調べたら、差別的でヒステリックな白人女の別称らしい。 pic.twitter.com/ojtgymIgCN

男版カレンはみないなああ、女の馬鹿げた行動だけ注目する差別意識の現れなのかなあ、と思ったら、そうではなく、

Why do you think we don’t see as many instances of ‘Kens’ being referenced on Twitter?

Ultimately, the reason why we don’t see so many of these incidents where white men are calling the police on black people is due to the gender socialization process where women are conditioned to call out and seek help and men are not. In the case of Ahmaud Arbery, instead of calling the police, these white men decided to take justice into their own hands.

Instead of calling the police to inflict harm, white men simply inflict the harm themselves. They are at the top of that power structure and they feel they have the right to enforce white supremacy, or just their power, over others.

　男版カレンはKenと呼ばれるのだが、　同じことが起きても、白人女性は保護を求めるのに対して、白人男性は人種主義の頂点に立つものとして、自分たちの手でケリをつけようとするから、Ken の投稿はあまりないのではないか、と。

Well, there are other implicit rules about race. Those rules are that, as long as the status quo or the majority is happy or complacent, then things are “normative.” And, so, when anyone does anything that steps out of what is perceived by white people as normative, then they’re breaking the social contract. This is not necessarily the case, but is often the perception. The idea that the white majority has to always be comfortable is a white supremacist idea because it really implies that white comfort is a superior need for society than anything else.

　カレン現象の裏にもアメリカ社会の白人至上主義があるわけですね。

　ちなみに、出羽守は、白人がくつろぎやすい社会を作りたい日本人なんだろうね。
