1/ Kick-off question from @DJDevakumar in the launch of @TheLancet racism and health series @raceandhealth
What does #racism mean to you?
This made me reflect on my personal definition of racism so here goes 🧵

2/ To me personally I think of #racism as discrimination whether *by thought and/or action* based on skin colour or geographical place or culture or religion or language or social attitudes that never operates in isolation, which brings us to the concept of #intersectionality
3/ Racism is always compounded or diluted by other systems of oppression or privilege like #patriarchy #classism #homophobia.
Australian sex buyers are having a normal one, casually discussing the mass sexual exploitation of Asian women and poor foreign students, as well as how to get away with raping children. All on legal websites. But hey, "customers" like any other - right? internationalsexguide.nl/forum/showthre…
Also, sex buyers looooove what the #sexwork movement is doing. If they're loving you, you're not in the business of putting power into the hands of the seller. You can bet on that. Deregulation which is the current trend down under mostly benefits buyers & pimps and they know it.
Amazing that being pro #prostitution is cast as the anti-racist position when sex buyers are out there talking like this 👇 Women are not cuisines. And, duh, sex buyers know the women wouldn't touch them if they didn't desperately need money. Sex buying is classist violence too.

.@WestworldHBO makes an excellent (STS) point about artificial intelligence and autonomous systems: it's not the technology that is scary, what is scary is technology says about us.

Luckily this also creates space for reflexivity, in the way art, literature and science can help us understand ourselves and our societies.
'We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us'.

.@WestworldHBO also clearly reiterates that we should not fall into the trap of technological determinism, but that doesn't mean that technology doesn't have its own materiality.
'Technology is a very human activity - and so is the history of technology.'

Fieldwork moment: perpetually blown away by how staff of even the most basic services (e.g. GED education) are forced to apply for grant funding to meet their org's essential services.
Like... even if the grants are mostly guaranteed, that they just have to apply for the money, the fact that people in positions of social service have to dedicate valuable time and energy and stress to this is so intense
and yes, i know #capitalism and #neoliberalism and #whitesupremacy and #classism and the lot, but damn i've run into this stuff three times in three days and it's so real
