Any time you see this culture war nonsense, just remember, this is what Donald wants you talking about instead of the Epstein Files.
Native American here: fuck you Morgan.
I don’t know, this guy looks pretty white…
He’s not leaving much room for Jesus… and with an adult woman. A conservative’s worst nightmare.
Jesus does it from behind.
Brings a whole new meaning to “Christ on a cracker “
Such nonsense. I’m sure Bad Bunny searched long and hard to find as many white people capable of dancing as he could. It’s not his fault we suck at it.
Aren’t most of those people white?
The US has a very weird take on race.
Yes, but I imagine the original poster was thinking Aryan white.
Oh but they meant pale white northern european locked inside without sun the whole day not slightly tan white people
Americans apparently have a very learned eye to distinguish who’s white or not.
Had a bizarre interaction in Texas once where I couldn’t tell an entire staff was Mexican? My bad. Hijinx ensued. Owner was on the hook for my meal/drinks.
I’m Canadian.
I was visiting a friend in Texas in 2015. They were out for the day so I was just kinda wandering around in the afternoon.
Found myself belly up to a bar, chit chatting with the bartenders. Shooting the shit, having a great time. Trump came on the TV and I commented what a knob he was.
The bartender said something somber, like “Yeah if he wins, we all are gonna have to go home”
I sincerely didn’t understand why. I was like “What… he’s going to close the bars??” The guy was like “No… we will have to go home”
Again, I was like “what the fuck are you talking about”
Buddy looks at me like I’m from outer space. I look at him the same way.
He just slowly says “We’re… all… Mexican”. The whole body of staff is gravitating towards the unfolding scene.
“How the hell was I supposed to know that?” I asked. He was like “Isn’t it obvious?”. No? Like they had dark hair. Is everyone with dark hair Mexican?
He was like “did you walk by any construction sites today?”. Yes, I had. “Think back, did the foreman look different than everyone else?”. Now that is really thought back… yeah. He was like, ginger.
At this point, like 10 of the staff are watching me come to the realization, in real time, that I’ve been surrounded by Mexicans like the whole day and no part of my brain registered it.
I don’t even really remember exactly what I said next… but it would have been along the lines of “I’m from Canada. My brain isn’t even wired to distinguish a Mexican from anyone else.” I’m really confused. I’m basically apologizing.
At that point they just burst out laughing. Basically surrounded at this point. They poured me a shot. Then another. They told me my bill was covered. We kept shooting the shit for a few more hours. They kept teasing me for not being able to recognize a Mexican. A relatively famous band was playing there later that night, and they snuck me back to listen to them warming up.
To this day, I still don’t really understand how Americans can distinguish Mexicans. It must be a learned “skill”. It was pretty eye opening talking to them… the fatigue of being treated as “lesser”… even “distinct”. We had a good time.
Story time?
@Windex007@lemmy.world Seconded, we need stories.
Ah I posted it but under my own comment like an idiot.
It’s so arbitrary. I’m “white” and I’m darker than most of the people there by early June. It’d be year round if not for living so far north.
It’s all good Morgan, you still have your white cultural icons. Epstein even spoke English!
There are at least 3 white people here. This fuckhead just doesn’t see it because they’re dressed differently then they think white people dress.
I was gonna say some of these people look pretty white to me. But then we’re getting into the arbitrary question of who counts as white which is probably way beyond her understanding.
Part of being “white” is getting to decide who is “white.” This is only possible because “white” is a completely made up category. We shouldn’t even engage with the term.
Old English saying “The wogs begin at Calais.”
Meaning if you aren’t English you really aren’t White.
Now playing NOFX - Don’t Call Me White
Fair point but it’s so deeply rooted. Don’t we have to engage with it to some extent in order to eliminate it?
I’ll just let my comment above stand as an example of how I think it should be engaged with. You can recognize that it’s a fantasy people have without participating in the fantasy.
It’s entirely in the eye of the beholder, as white is an ephemeral western social in-group and not an ethnicity. If you think you see white people in this photo, then you do.
To that person, “there are at least 3 people who are clearly at leat white passing”
They’re not white, they’re Irish.
Also, there were black people, but I’m sure this ethnocentric asshole didn’t see them either.
We are all uncooked red meat.
I was going to be cute and say “my meat is purple” because that’s my favorite color… but it sounds really wrong.
Anglo-Saxons quite literally erased the locals when they came to America, this is just a musical performance with some of their descendants. 🙄
I’m telling you, if they had anything more than their physical features as common ground, anything with depth as a shared ideology, and even the most rudimentary of moral frameworks, they wouldn’t be this way.
Unfortunately, gotta hard disagree here. The big problem is that this particular in-group does have a shared ideology and moral framework. The problem is that it’s Nazi ideology.
I don’t think there’s anything of substance there besides fear, confusion and anger, and none of these things require words or thoughts. I mean, let’s be real, none of these folks have read Mein Kampf… these people don’t read, lol. The one thing I’d say they have in common is that they have defaulted into the bestial “might makes right”/law of the jungle stance, which is not an ideology but the absence of one that contains/redirects your urges.
If you listen to her, you’d think Bad Bunny was giving out smallpox blankets to all the white people at the Super Bowl.
Ooh, that would work really well nowadays with all the antivaxxers! New idea, pass out blankets at Trump rallies!
Not smallpox please, a lot of innocent people aren’t vaccinated against it since it was eradicated. I am because I’m an old fart, but I don’t want MAGA people my age and above being the ones NOT affected. Besides you’d have to break into the CDC, or just convince Kennedy it’d be good for folks’immune systems or something.
Measles is already working on the problem all by itself.
It doesn’t have to be smallpox. Measles would be fine!
Nobody else gets to have some protagonism, that’s white genocide!
So that means erasing Anglo-Saxon descendents today?
“That” means we should enact an Anglo-Saxon genocide? No, not at all, lol (the fuck?).
It seems you’ve confused yourself.
Hopefully.
She hasn’t shut the fuck up yet because her user hasn’t run out of response tokens.
Didn’t some white lady sing, too in the middle somewhere? 😉
That lady being Lady Gaga. Yes, yes she did.
White Lady Gaga
She is Italian, right? Does that qualify as white? Depends who/when you ask.
Personally I’m all for erasing the white identity. Its a fucking lie. My grandparents and great grandparents etc were Norwegian, Italian, Scottish. They did not consider themselves white.
If one wants to make an argument about an American melting pot identity, blending these cultures together to something new, you are lying to yourself if you try to exclude the massive influence non-‘white’ cultures had and continue to have on that shared cultural identity.
yeah, they cut to Lady Gaga who did a song … The existence of other people is not erasure of you.
60 halftime shows, all in English, and it only took a single mostly Spanish halftime show for a quarter of the country to have a meltdown. Never mind that 1/10 of the country speaks Spanish. Textbook example of “When you’re used to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”
75% of the people in the picture in white, what the f she’s talking about?
So sad that I will never experience globalisation turning every single human being into a slightly brownish mix of everything, though I doubt even that will make the raving assholes stfu with their racist bullshit.
Just look at Argentina. It wont end.
It won’t. Most people in that picture would be considered white in most places in the world, but whiteness is a concept that expands and contracts to enable racism to persist.
Indian caste system backs slowly into the bushes
I don’t think that’ll ever happen, really. We’re just gonna have to stop hating/fearing each other based on physical attributes.
Is anyone checking that these are real tweets? I mean, I wouldn’t surprise be in the slightest but it feels so fucking over the top that it warrants sourcing. I’m not on Shitter so I can’t, can someone verify this is real?
It’s real - we haven’t had to make shit up for a while now… they are just out there being openly racist.
“Christian” “Lioness for Jesus Christ”
These are the same people that will tell you that Jesus is about love and they’re all full of love.
Lioness for White Jesus, specifically.
