social justice two-way expectation rule

An ethical rule that states that before an individual can start calling out other people for making discriminatory comments or performing biased actions against minorities, the individual must first acknowledge and deal with their own implicit and explicit biases, as well as effectively manage their emotions, so they can lead by example. This includes recognizing biases that are not typically viewed as being part of social justice. (That means you must confront biases like Privilege of the Living and Political Identity Privilege.) It is recommended that when calling someone out over biased comments or behavior that you try to so in a calm and polite manner, so they are less likely to feel attacked, and to avoid supporting the stereotypes about social justice supporters spread by some far-right wing political commentators. Basically, if you expect other people to listen to you and change their behavior in order to be less biased, then you have to be willing to deal with your own biases and privilege and control your emotions.
The social justice two-way expectation rule is an important ethical responsibility for any person considering standing up to discrimination, because if you don’t deal with your own biases first, then a lot of people will ignore you due to the fact you don’t practice what you preach. Failing to deal with your biases prior to calling someone out can also negatively impact the views of social justice in other people as they may see the movement as being just being all talk, without producing any real results.

That way here too

This phrase is used instead of the term "um"
Although used quite frequently, this should not be a replacement for simply stuttering in a sentence or to dismiss valid claims or during an argument. Usually used in a corporate setting to dismiss colleagues or to vacate responsibility.
The weather outside is warm, that way here too.

Why is corporate making so many changes? That way here too

Sze Wai

A derrogative term and vulgarity. Sze Wai is the greatest insult you could ever throw at someone. Calling someone a Sze Wai is the equivalent of using all vulgarities in the English and Chinese language against them.
