You're basically just agreeing with the correction in the meme but assuming the exact opposite result. In your example of a victim of racism and one who isn't, there is one truth. Racism exists. The person who says it doesn't because they don't see it is objectively wrong.

The original meme is saying the victim of racism is right, but also the person who says it doesn't exist is also right.

I don't think you'd agree with that. Moreover, the explanation is very clear that it isn't choosing one over the other. You did so for some reason to try and get people to emotionally react. One person is wrong. Unless it's a work of art and the artist didn't intend to be vague, the painter clearly painted one or the other. Without context, you don't know, so you should find out before claiming anyone is right.

The person who says it doesn’t because they don’t see it is objectively wrong.

One person is wrong.

That’s not what the meme is saying, neither is objectively right, they just have different perspectives on the same object they see.

Then your example was poorly chosen. And the meme is poorly formed because it's technically wrong.

[-] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No it’s a good example that shows how your assumption of the meme CAN be wrong.

So you agree some perspectives are wrong then at least. So you don't adhere to your own interpretation.
