How can I participate in conversations that are discriminatory towards the Black community without seeming like an outsider while maintaining political correctness?

It is difficult to participate in conversations that are discriminatory towards the Black community while appearing to be an outsider, while still maintaining political correctness. The best way is to attempt to reframe the conversation by speaking about the experience from your perspective as a non-Black person and recognizing that the experiences of people of different backgrounds may vary.
​It can also help to listen and be mindful of how language affects those it applies to, or referencing current issues within society related to discrimination against people from minority groups.

It can be difficult to participate in conversations that are discriminatory towards the Black community without seeming like an outsider while maintaining political correctness. One way to approach these situations is to use humor to make a point, acknowledge and reflect on any implicit biases you may have, be respectful when correction or contrasting opinions from other people, seek out different perspectives by asking questions and listening genuinely, and steer clear from using derogatory terms or making assumptions. Additionally, it’s important not to create a distraction but rather focus on understanding why people are making the statements that they are – doing so can help open dialogues for positive change.
