Asleep? Insensitive? Uncaring?
Words do not exist in a vacuum. Context matters. I'll try and wake you, sleepy head:
If one remarks on the heavy preponderance of African-American champions in track and field running events (especially, but not restricted to sprint ones) by saying, "Yes, they are so athletic--- such natural talent," that comment appears to be "innocent." Can you understand why it would offend Black people?
Asians often are used as a contrast to other groups, though you may not have been "woke" to it:
"The so-called "model minority" stereotype, one of the most pervasive and harmful assumptions about Asian Americans, holds that Asian Americans are a uniformly high-achieving racial minority that has assimilated well into American society through hard work, obedience to social mores and academic achievement. The term was first used in the 1960s by academics and journalists—and later by politicians—to create a divide among racial minorities and to downplay the role of racism in the inequities of American society, says Richard Lee, PhD, a professor of psychology at the University of Minnesota who studies race and ethnicity.
"In the midst of advocacy against racism, this was a very convenient tool," Lee says. "Elevating Asian Americans as a model minority essentially absolved white systems from taking real accountability for the inequities they've created."
Those beliefs include what researchers call the "perpetual foreigner" stereotype, which casts Asian Americans as fundamentally foreign individuals who will never fully assimilate into American society. For example, even second- and third-generation Asian Americans are frequently asked where they are from or told that they speak English surprisingly well."
