iirc he said it was his gaming handle

2018-07-16 00:47:15 UTC  

could be worse, could be the *Adjective* *Animal* name

2018-07-16 00:47:36 UTC  

lets just call an entire nation of people "xenophobes" and "islamophobes"... cos bigotry apparently gets you over 110k retweets and over 250k likes https://twitter.com/KhaledBeydoun/status/1018540593897705473?s=20

2018-07-16 00:49:08 UTC  

I guess its ok against the french

2018-07-16 00:49:25 UTC  

nah, even the frenchies don't deserve this

2018-07-16 00:50:00 UTC  

its ok to be racist to white people

2018-07-16 00:50:03 UTC  

Uhh, what?

2018-07-16 00:50:09 UTC  

they deserve to be called a bunch of wino surrender monkeys for sure

2018-07-16 00:50:13 UTC  

because that's what they are

2018-07-16 00:50:19 UTC  

see look at all the likes and retweets

2018-07-16 00:50:25 UTC  

It wasn't Africans and Muslims, it was French Citizens

2018-07-16 00:50:25 UTC  

but only things that are accurate :^)

2018-07-16 00:50:52 UTC  

yeah thats what most people replying say.. but theyre all racists! 😛

2018-07-16 00:51:55 UTC  

Some people seem to think that your skin color is a permanent marker of your nationality, and you'll never be able to integrate and fit in in a new nation, or even the nation you were born in.
We call these people "anti-racist" for some reason

2018-07-16 00:52:48 UTC  

You might, they're just racist in my eyes

2018-07-16 00:53:27 UTC  

pretty sure its only america that puts "african" before the nation

2018-07-16 00:54:06 UTC  

it changes from week to week

2018-07-16 00:54:14 UTC  

if you said a black british guy was "african-british" ... youre likely to get a punch... its seen as pretty offensive

2018-07-16 00:54:57 UTC  

anything other than british is pretty offensive tbh

2018-07-16 00:55:05 UTC  

african american got sidelined for PoC, and expect that to be replaced by BIPoC as the purity spiral reaches the funnel

2018-07-16 00:55:14 UTC  

PoC?

2018-07-16 00:55:24 UTC  

Person of color

2018-07-16 00:55:34 UTC  

Ah, i see.

2018-07-16 00:55:48 UTC  

Yeah i think in the US the politeness scale goes

2018-07-16 00:55:50 UTC  

or sometimes people of colour

2018-07-16 00:55:56 UTC  

Black > African American > Person of color

2018-07-16 00:57:21 UTC  

Problem is

2018-07-16 00:57:29 UTC  

'Person of color' is vague

2018-07-16 00:57:33 UTC  

@Deleted User Lemme know if there's anything worthwhile to watch in this video. 30 minutes in and it's just Thunderf00t not understanding that it started promising and went to shit after because of how poorly May handled everything. The concept of the passage of time seems to escape Thunderf00t for this video, probably because it doesn't involve physics, but it would certainly help his understanding of why people have done a 180 on their opinion of Theresa May.

2018-07-16 00:58:48 UTC  

Yeah, that's why BIPoC is starting to gain steam. Black/Indigenous person of color. Since Asians are starting to lose their minority status in some people's eyes despite being a much smaller population in the US than black people.

2018-07-16 00:59:16 UTC  

Certain kinds of asians

2018-07-16 00:59:28 UTC  

If you're from pakistan or iraq or something like that

2018-07-16 00:59:36 UTC  

You still fall into it

2018-07-16 00:59:43 UTC  

But Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese

2018-07-16 00:59:43 UTC  

Etc

2018-07-16 00:59:58 UTC  

My problem with the term PoC is how clearly it stratifies us among races into 'white' and 'everyone else'. As though minorities' defining characteristic is only in their comparison to white people. Shit's fucked.

2018-07-16 01:01:56 UTC  

Yeah, suppose so. Though i think when you see it alot of the time its just a overbearing attempt to be polite or PC.

2018-07-16 01:03:07 UTC  

Honestly i just wish identity politics would not be a thing, or at least less of a thing. People frothing at the mouth over it, on both sides, just makes me want to go deaf to the world sometimes.

2018-07-16 01:06:08 UTC  

Id also argue that if you want color, caucasians have alot of color variety for just hair and eyes alone

2018-07-16 01:07:52 UTC  

yeah you can even be black and Caucasian

2018-07-16 01:08:21 UTC  

theres a subgroup of Caucasian called hamite from north africa which is very dark skinned
