  • “What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness?”

    Why would you be shocked by friendliness if you didn’t assume they would be unfriendly? Why would you expect them to be unfriendly? Not-racism…

    “Londoners are considered to be cold and rude but I find them to be very pleasant with me.”

    Translation: So I turns out this assumption I had of people turned out to be not true. So after I learned that lesson I thought I do the same mistake again but from the other direction and in a group setting"

    This is not about if it is the right word to describe it, this is about reducing a group to a stereotype and how wrong that is. Call it cultural racism, culturism or some other shit that doesn’t hurt your feelings because you identify with it.




  • A whole bunch of assumptions with nothing to back it up, like a true racist.

    Bad faith replays to bad faith replays seems fair to me.

    You are arguing points I didn’t make so how am I supposed to take this serious?

    Like “It’s not racist to predict behavior based on whether said people self-identity themselves as members of those cultures.”

    What the fuck are you rambling on about? :D

    My point was that it feels racist to take a group/race/nationality/gender/sex/whatever and then say that those people in that group act all the same.

    That is the mechanism of racism so it feels racist. And then one person said that it is not racist at all because it is not about race, it is about culture.

    As if the mechanism and result differ because its another group :D

    And then it turns out that it is called “cultural racism” because it is sooooo different from racism xD

    I also said that racism can come from a “positive” place. Like the Asian example. Which is still bad and racist. Some Asians aren’t good at math and their hate that people expect it from them.

    Those were my arguments. The second Post in this comment chain and no one following was capable of engaging with that. Instead theiy did what you are acusing me of right now^^

    It’s a clownshow, I treat it as such.
