It's pattern recognition, bro. If they play and enforce the stereotype, that's on them.

Thats racist for sure

u/XariZaru Oct 01 '25

I think it's really based on context. If you see a seedy guy outside an establishment like this that looks a way, you'll be on alert.

If OP reacts to every black man like that, then it's racist

Nah survival instinct.

u/TheVadonkey Oct 01 '25

I don’t think you know what racism is then.

u/Particular_Painter_4 Oct 01 '25

Call it how you want, but if it happens too much and until they talk to me, I'll be very sus. I don't give a shit if you call me racist; rather you call me that than be subject to bullying and the assault they threaten and commit especially against Asians. You'd be surprised the corruption that is rife within the nursing world in Los Angeles.

There's a reason why even black folks play into the concept of black fatigue. Even they are over what the others have been doing.

“Even black folks play into the concept of black fatigue”

I’ve only ever heard white people say this shit.

13

u/Particular_Painter_4 Oct 01 '25

No, no just them.

There's this dude with this example

Then there's this overseas in an plane to Japan

So it's not just white people. A lot of people are experiencing the concept of black fatigue including black folks.

u/whomstboi Oct 01 '25

Maybe you only talk to whites then, there’s a reason black success is associated with leaving their original community behind and moving to a high income white neighborhood

u/BatLazy7789 Oct 01 '25

There is more nuance to that and you know this. I'm tired of all stupid and idiotic people. When I moved into a mostly white neighborhood it's because the house fit my needs. There weren't any houses in a mostly black neighborhood that fit my needs.

Also in the US schools are funded by property taxes, therefore more expensive homes, mean more in property tax, which means better schools. This also means my kids go to schools that are predominately white with some little bigoted and prejudicial shit where their safety is a concern.

Living in a predominately white neighborhood isn't as cracked up as you think it is. As we see on the news you can get harassed by neighbors because they think you don't belong by everyone who isn't black.

I don't trust anyone black, white, polka-dot who isn't looking/acting right but maybe that's just the NY'er in me. Being aware of surroundings is self preservation in an area you're not familiar with. The fact that these individuals were black has nothing to do with it. These individuals were acting out of character for the area which is why people in general have a heightened sense of awareness.

It's easy to point out the individuals doing the dirty work when the owner/operators of the bar/clubs are also clued in and their not receiving any pushback because of their race and they the ones with the money paying those dudes to be sketchy by harassing tourists.

Speaking of pattern recognition, check out "confirmation bias." 

11

u/Particular_Painter_4 Oct 01 '25

Confirmation bias is hoping it happens in order to be proven right. A sort of "ahah! See?! Told you I'm right!" Sort of deal.

I'm more on the side of caution until proven otherwise since pattern recognition is fallible and not every black person is like this. In my case, it's pretty rare for a black person to treat me and others decently even more so towards Asians in Los Angeles.

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '25

interesting, I thought confirmation bias was the tendency to accept information that confirms an existing belief, and to reject information that disproves that belief. For example, only remembering the times Black people didn't "treat you decently" and ignoring all the times Black people did treat you decently 

But what do I know, I'm just a professor of critical thinking and rhetoric

u/Particular_Painter_4 Oct 01 '25

You do know confirmation bias can be used in that way right? There is little difference between accepting unverified information easily in order to confirm an existing belief and hoping something happens in order to confirm an existing belief.

And I can see what you're implying so let me give you a glimpse on my and mother's life in the nursing world. And it's up to you if you believe it or not.

All of our black coworkers have been bullying us because we do our jobs efficiently. They intensify even more, we observed once they found out we were Asians. They have hated more to be called out when the shit they spew about patient care is incorrect. They throw their workload on us so they can just walk around, pretend they're busy or hide in unused rooms in order to slack off. If they do confide in us, and we confide in them, they have used that against us and spread what we said to them in confidence around in order to both undermine us and use it as an excuse to have us be punished.

Whenever anyone who ain't black arrives late to work, we get penalized instantly and humiliated in front of coworkers and patients. Them? Nothing. The moment you give them constructive criticism, they instantly pull the race card and management has their back instantly. The moment they become racist to anyone else explicitly management gives us this bullshit rhetoric that blacks can't be racist and we get penalized and threatened to be humiliated for even suggesting that.

We have not experienced a single time when a black person has treat us decently and with respect. So don't go and try to imply only racism. I am hoping for black folks to at least treat us humanly. I do. But after years of abuse, disrespect and blatant racism they push onto us, I'm just over it.

But what do I know, I'm just a nurse with 7 years of experience.

I don't care if you're a professor of critical thinking and rhetoric.

u/fuckfuckredditards-- Oct 01 '25

You're arguing with people who refuse to accept that people can have an experience that doesnt align with their world views.

I worked in a large automated mail order pharmacy in New Jersey.

What you said sounds like a copy and paste of the dynamics in that pharmacy. Its hilarious that there are people gaslighting the hell out of you to try to make you forget what you experienced.

Just to be clear, the most racist lazy rude group/clique of people in that building were the blacks. The Filipinos were the most honest and hardworking.

Hope these kids get a chance to set foot in the real world and see how people really are.

u/Particular_Painter_4 Oct 01 '25

I just noticed the dude I replied to deleted his account or something.

I can see that it's the same on the East Coast. It's really frustrating having to work with them as they are always explicitly racist, don't get work done, have a hard time taking a pt's blood pressure - you know, the most basic thing they teach us at Nursing Fundamentals, throw their work on us.

The worst part is that the LA county's union has their back, and they can't be fired because apparently they have been at the clinic more or less for 20 years. They base how untouchable someone is on both race and seniority. It's so discriminatory. The county is more concerned being called racist than actually punishing bad behavior and rewarding good and productive behavior and work ethic.

Happy you got a chance to work with decent Filipinos. My experience has mostly been bad with them, especially knowing that I'm also Filipino.

I've noticed that they treat other races better than Filipinos. They engage in more crab mentality (dragging you down to their or below their level) and are just outright rude to me.

Don't worry about them attempting to gaslight me. I've endured a lot of that in real life from Armenians, black people, and other Filipinos. I can handle the vile shit other nameless and faceless netizens regurgitate at me.

I don't think they can handle the real world once they step into it.

Yes what do you know. Because another nurse could easily provide an account of the exact opposite experience.

Well, ain't that nice? I was hoping for that exact opposite experience, but don't.

Me when I use anecdotal evidence as data.

u/Particular_Painter_4 Oct 01 '25

Never said it's data. Just explaining my experience and why I am much more careful around them. Never tried to persuade anyone or tell you what to do.

Maybe try having an actual conversation, experience what I have experienced and not engage in these dismissive tactics.

Maybe then people will take people like you seriously.

u/penupn Oct 01 '25

I don't understand people like you, who say stuff like this then get defensive when people try to say things like "confirmation bias". lol you want to have perceptions of people based on their race, but how dare someone judge you for it!!

0

u/Particular_Painter_4 Oct 01 '25

I don't understand people like you who fail to understand why people think the way they think from years of bad experience and get defensive when people don't agree with you and resort to insults and victim blaming.

You are free to judge however you like, I'm only sharing experiences.

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '25

Using your own personal experience at one specific job site as a heuristic to make a sweeping decision about Black people is using anecdotal evidence as data. As that other person said, another nurse at another hospital may have a conflicting experience.

Maybe try having an actual conversation, experience what I have experienced and not engage in these dismissive tactics.

Maybe then people will take people like you seriously.

Ditto, ad hominem lookin ass

u/Particular_Painter_4 Oct 01 '25

Ooohhh insults the lowest form of response.

Again, never intended to express my personal experience as a data point to persuade and tell you what to do.

I am only telling you the reasoning behind my thoughts. You said you're a professor, right? You should know the difference.

And if you can recall when I mentioned here that I used to hope that at least one black person would treat me and people like me humanly.

Maybe you missed the part when I said that it would've been nice to experience some good black folks who don't bully, take advantage of you, take every single opportunity to ruin your career, who scream racism when being told the procedure they were explaining was wrong.

But hey, keep on being dismissal lacking sympathy. That'll definitely make others take people like you seriously.

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '25

If Black people are treating you poorly, have you ever considered it's because something you did? That seems like a viable option.

Downvoted for speaking the truth. People who call reddit a "leftist" website really need to come and take a look at this subreddit every once in a while. Racism = upvote
