jk I'm all about that bread @danishcookies@computerfairi.es

@Nowak thats a valid view.

But the way I see it, I'm not rewarding them. I'm thwarting them. That badass awesome hero? yeah, shes like me. Its kinda like reclaiming a slur, but with a suit of power armor.

@Nowak consider: reclaiming transmisic stereotypes that have been whitewashed is actually cool as hell

@PanicBomb
LMAO "white cultures"? "White cultures"? What the fuck is white culture? Nazis and Colonialist? The "white" identity is literally built to exclude others and to construct white supremacy.

@PanicBomb in no way beneficial to the white person in question.
but poc are constantly told their needs are secondary to those of white people already.
telling a rude or ignorant white person to fuck off on the internet or while off work can be an immensely relieving and affirming action to take if most of your life is spent just silently swallowing all the shit they throw at you.

@PanicBomb they aren't supposed to take a lesson from that at all. if they want to learn they should go look for articles, discussion groups, books, pages that demonstrate they are willing to answer questions.

"white ppl are dumb" is just venting. no one can be expected to only ever say constructive meaningful things, that's an impossibly high standard to maintain.

@PanicBomb i don't see the value in protecting white people's feelings by tone policing minorities.

if they complain about white people as a group, there is no problem. statistics point out that, yes, white people are a real problem for minorities. and if you know that and you actively try not to be trash, you can just nod along knowing they aren't talking about you.

if it's a specific white person they complain about, then it's a very individual case and talking generally doesn't help.

@danishcookies
Yeah, screw that. “Authentic” cuisine (which, FYI, seldom actually authentic) made purely as an excuse to charge more money for it? That whole idea is deeply offensive to me.
