I understand this to be an official endorsement of racism from the mod team at shitjustworks
Enjoy this attempt to find a single non-racist among our new friends
Edit: Mods are mass deleting comments lmao
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
@Asymptote@lemmy.dbzer0.com how is this racist?
You can't be racist to white people.
Racism directed by white people against, say, Chinese people is despicable not only because white people on the whole have an inordinate amount of wealth and social and political power, and thus their own racial animus presents a real threat, but because the Chinese specifically have historically been the victims of majority white imperialist nations and the targets of the most vile racial discrimination in majority white countries.
It's the same as cracker versus the n-word. Guy calls me a cracker, it's little more than a simple insult. I call a black guy the n-word, it's far more offensive, because people who looked like me used to call people like him that word while owning them as property, denying their human rights, and lynching them.
The powerful cannot be the victims of the powerless, and one categorically cannot be racist to white people.
A person can only believe otherwise if they're wholly ignorant and deny the history of racism and racial inequality.
