I'm not sure what term would be "normie approved", because calling them "non-whites" wouldn't go over too well in mixed company.
As a catch all term, the left kinda nailed it, honestly. I just hate using their terms and making them part of our normal lexicon.
Not that whites don't have color, mind you... :-p
We are the "people of the light". ☀
Whites have the most colors, technically speaking.
Hair, Eyes, and Skin.
yeah, blonde/redhead/brunette/black, blue/green/grey/brown, etc
yeah
I find it somewhat perplexing that "colored people" is considered taboo now, but rearrange the words to people of color and its acceptable.
Yeah, I always found that strange.
"colored people" = broke
"people of color" = woke
🤔
"people of spectrum"
There is an underlying linguistic mechanism. PC demands "people" comes first. "People with disabilities" vs "disabled people" is the most known example
my favorite is "differently abled"
they come up with some cringey terms and people just go with it.
Well, it has a bit to do with POC "reclaiming" words. For instance, they've normalized and made it socially acceptable to use "the N word" by stating they've reclaimed it by merely removing "the hard R". Which is really just putting into written speech the sounds that come out of people's mouths due to accent and linguistics. It's the same word.
following that mechanism, PoC are just "differently white", and gay people are "differently straight"
But woe be the person who is not socially acceptable or politically correct to use such phrases or words.
To all my IE borthers and sitsers in their late 20s and older, when the cool new memes are getting harder to understand...
Hahaha! I still don't understand the huwhite monster memes. 🤔
@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL The weirdest one is "queer" and "d*ke" (not sure if that's acceptable on the server). Used to be it was a potent word that would get you an atomic-level laugh or dentention (depending on the local teacher's predilections). Now they call themselves it?
And the new weird thing is "Femme"? I guess it just means MtF trannies *and* (so-called) feminine women?
@Sonic On the way out to mow his lawn, the 30 year-old boomer asks the 30 year-old Millenial sitting in his studio at the computer: "So, are ya winnin' your video game there?" The 30 year-old boomer sips his white monster energy zero as he thanks GOD that he's not like the 30 year-old millennial. "Actually," the millenial replies, "this isn't really the type of game that you *win*, per se."
It's borderline, but I think it's okay to discuss in an intellectual sense. It's ugly language and I'm always both intrigued and disturbed at how people would use ugly speech as "terms of endearment"
Ahh ok. Thanks
In college I was forced to read a book by a self-described "d**e activist" this was in 2006 and boggled my mind then. I thought to myself "a Chicano author would never call themselves a [river related slur] activist!"
On the language topic I wonder when they'll reclaim fa**ot as a term to be proud of.. Seems like it's the only derogatory lgbt term anymore. Will delete post if necessary.
On TV, and unfortunately in person, I have seen sassy gay men say that, like blacks sometimes throw the N-word around with the vowel ending.
Even milo (cringe) used it but I think ironically.
Milo used it to get reactions, nothing more. He's a degenerate attention whore (literally I imagine).
It’s funny how much the leftist glob embraces toxic words to describe themselves.
When I was a nihilist with a bad attitude, I was also willing to embrace such awful terms. It shows that these people are in deep pain.
I’m attempting to cultivate more compassion for our “unwoke” counterparts. They don’t make it easy.
They elevate and embrace degeneracy and abhor anything wholesome or traditional. It all traces back to the Frankfurt school.
@Sonic yes, in hindsight. When you grow up to apathetic parents in an apathetic society with no real future...
We have millions of our brothers and sisters calling themselves white trash. Self deprecation is in vogue, even for those outside of polite society
I had a very rough childhood, and all of my friends had the same. It’s easy to blame yourself for your misery when you don’t have any other outlets for the disgust you feel.
In high school, I had an eminem phase that started originally just because I liked the way he'd say words like f** and I connected with the anger
