Identifying White Mediocrity and Know-Your-Place Aggression: A Form of Self-Care
African American Review Pub Date : 2018-01-01 , DOI: 10.1353/afa.2018.0045

Abstract:This article offers a primer on identifying what the author calls “know-your-place aggression” as well as the violence of white mediocrity being treated as merit. The author argues that gaining clarity about these hostile tendencies is a form of self-care. Examples include experiences with racism, (hetero)sexism, trans antagonism, ableism, and Islamophobia. Understanding know-your-place aggression and white mediocrity can prevent marginalized communities from wasting energy by worrying about the opinions of people who use objective standards to judge everyone but themselves. The author encourages this form of self-care because she believes it can empower members of marginalized groups to save their energy for what matters most, the quality of their lives and their contributions to research.

识别白人平庸和了解你的地方侵略:一种自我保健的形式

摘要:本文提供了一个入门指南,用于确定作者所谓的“了解你的地方侵略”以及被视为优点的白人平庸的暴力行为。作者认为,了解这些敌对倾向是一种自我保健。例子包括种族主义、(异性)性别歧视、跨性别对抗、能力主义和伊斯兰恐惧症的经历。了解自知的侵略性和白人平庸可以防止边缘化社区通过担心使用客观标准来判断除自己之外的所有人的人的意见而浪费能源。作者鼓励这种形式的自我保健,因为她相信它可以使边缘化群体的成员能够为最重要的事情、他们的生活质量和他们对研究的贡献节省精力。
