Anon is lyfted up
(sh.itjust.works)
I want to apologize if I offended any PoC, I didn’t read the greentext correctly and “basketball American” slipped through. I’ve tried to keep my posts as clean as possible and will continue to do so. It’s entirely my mistake and I’m sorry.
Something about "basketball American" has me salty. Im calling somebody a chalk-walker in retaliation today.
Its fourchan, its the most politically correct term they could come up with. I m honestly shocked there is nothing worse in there.
Calling that politically correct is a bigger laugh than how blatantly racist it was in the first place.
Should have called themselves swimmer American for consistency.
Hockey American
NASCAR American.
White people love nascar because of all the whips
Sorry, the whips? I don't know enough about NASCAR to get that joke, maybe.
White people love nascar for the same reason they love millionaires. They think I could be that and then drunkenly drive their lifted truck home and kill a family with a NASCAR sticker on the back of their truck on the way back from the bar while they listen to a country song from a different millionaire telling them they just gotta roll up their sleeves and work every day like the singer does
That is reserved for the Canadians I think
Sailor American
I had a vacation home there as an edgy teen, I know they could say worse. My statement still stands. Lol
it's the usual 4chan racist bullshit.
Bro, that's the nicest name his years of 4chan addict brain could've come up with. 4chan is known for using the hard R N-word very very liberally.
Imagine being upset that your 4chan greentext forum has racism in the post. You can't eat your cake and have it, too. That just comes with the territory
My guy, even I’m not going to defend it. I thought it meant something different as so much of the greentext seemed absurd for the sake of absurdity. I’ve posted several greentexts without racism or sexism, so it’s far from impossible. Just because something is ubiquitous doesn’t make it okay. Now I’m stuck deciding between deleting the post or keeping it up with an apology to acknowledge my mistake.
Holy shit you sound like a gigantic pussy dude it's a greentext nobody should be coming here without expecting to encounter some regular 4chan shit
I like to see this place as the distilled decency of 4chan and everyone else seems to agree to the same. Lemmy’s not big on unfiltered racism.
Congratulations, I was waiting for a comment just like yours to show up and ya did it kid, you became the Chalk Walker of the Day. Don't even care if you're actually white. You're a Chalk Walker.
Am a chalk walker and think chalk walker is a fair trade for basketball american
Honestly same. Equally offensive and same level of dog whistle.
So you want to read greentexts and 4chan screenshots and not encounter racism? Seems like an oxymoron to me.
Golfer? Polo player? What's the whitest sport imagineable in the most offensive way?
(Oh yes colonialism)
Pickleball. It's gotta be pickleball.
A quick gis shows me far too much variety in skin tone!
Damn...curling?
Oooh good call.
Croquet doesn't on gis lol
Uh, squash? I think that one is associated with rich white folk the most and has a kinda silly name.
isn't that the one they keep having heart attacks while playing? I approve of that one on principle
I can't be the only one that notices the sheer hypocrisy of being offended by racism and deciding to be a racist in turn, right?
Nah I see it too. But I'm petty so...
Edit: what historical context or stereotype does the term "chalk walker" address? None? Oh.
If you're trying to offend or denigrate someone based on their skin color, then yes, that's being racist regardless of historical or stereotype connotations. That's literally part of the definition of racism.
lmao be mad
At least I'm not a raging, hypocritical racist, but you do you, buddy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is tame and somewhat more creative than the other terms 4chan use.
Here I was assuming from that line that this was not in the united states so it was notable that the man was american and also that be was wearing a basketball outfit. Then i thought it was weird they were talking about carrying given that it wasn't the US and then I just forgot the basketball thing
I genuinely read that sentence as, a famous basketball player.
But calling someone "baseball American" is fucking rude.
try Yakubian Devil or Person of Mayo too, or a good old fashioned "cracker" always hits
Curling-American. Double whammy because I don't think they do Curling outside of Canada.
Take a look at the curling winter Olympics, and you'll find that you are mistaken.
I meant in North America, but yeah there probably is a US curling team. I bet they're all white AF.
The last Curling gold medal was won by Sweden though. And the Silver by Britain.
The bigot continues to be a bigot.
Lmao blocked.
Lmao Bigot.
