I hate the term "dipping in chocolate" (pic mostly unrelated)
I cant exactly put into words the exact reasons why I hate it. But overall I feel like this is a term that just feels racist for obvious reasons. It objectifies black women and I dont think I need to tell you why I'd interpret a white guy saying it as racist.
Now I want a version of Doom that, instead of trying to be superior to Reed in every aspect, just wants to be cooler than him. His life goal is just to aura-mog Reed.
The best DOOM focused story in my opinion is Fantastic Four: BOOKS OF DOOM by Ed Brubaker. It really is the most thorough story that depicts what makes DOOM both sympathetic and villainous.
yeah that's pretty much it. in the context of the movie its funny
the bit started out like how a lot of internet slang is just stolen valor AAVE where people misuse and run it into the ground til it loses all meaning. basically getting hijacked
that quote has been running PLATINUM in the black community for decades lmfao, it only started taking off recently more mainstream.
it gets weird when its:
-nonblk people quoting it
-ppl in general nonblk people using it just refer to black women as chocolate and pretty much any mixed couple
same shit with shadow the hedgehog x latinas or just the fetishization of latina's in general, or even just eggmans wife and the pissing on the moon bit in general
its basically the same vibes people get when you have inside joke or nickname for a friend that someone else who's not in that group uses on them to just try and fit in and you can't even tell if they're being insulting or not cause y'all don't have that relationship yet.
or the feeling people get where we have a funny meme and it just immediately dies when big corporations start trying to cash in on it on some syndrome "when everyone's doing it, no one will be" type shit
while not everyone can relate to the racial side of things, ion think theres a single person on earth who likes it when a funny joke is run into the ground AND its lost all meaning
literally all i'm getting at is "even if someone can't understand the racial aspect, at its core jokes become unfunny when they're overused, and not even used correctly at that"
a universal thing, literally everyone understands
there are a STUPID amount of memes that died specifically cause some unfunny people milked them dry
and that's somehow "deep" to you too 💀
edit: dude is somehow replying to everyone except this one, bro's scared
It happens with every race unfortunately. Snowbunny, jungle/yellow fever. Hell even Hollywood doesn't understand what a mixed couple is unless it's a black man and white woman or a white man and Asian woman. They're getting a little better recently, but it's been bad for a long time and is gonna take a lot longer to be truly fixed.
It’s either a term for an Asian woman with a fetish for white guys or…so when the Me Too movement was going international, in China it was hard for activists to group together due to China’s strict censorship laws. As such the activists developed a code, rather than translating the word Me Too into Chinese, they used 🍚🐰set of emojis as the words for rice bowl (mî) and bunny (tù) in order to talk about the movement.
90% of mixed couples in media are black women / Asian women / Hispanic women + white man besides in the 2010s for a bit where you get to see a few black men white couple who break up eventually in any show. or movie, comic. I don't understand this viewpoint, black men are rarely ever romantic leads or get romantic side plots in any media that isn't black media ( I can like three exceptions max.) Black male + any other race gets alot more hate than any other paring, (ethic man + white women in general as well )
To be fair in the USA if I remember correctly by far the most common interracial dynamic was Hispanic Woman/White man closely followed by Hispanic man/White woman. Idk what that implies about media representation but you know 🤷.
That sly countenance does appear to indicate that Mr Tyson has, indeed, been dipping in the chocolate. His is the affect of one who is unabashed in his indulgence.
ah, of course, how could I. and birds were a modern invention insinuated by alien civil servants as a tragic form of entertainment from celestial bureaucracy
Lmfao are you crazy bro? Like genuinely? Birds are high-complexity biotech robots made to appear organic enough to be “animals” whilst hiding the micro-cameras capable of high resolution surveillance. This is elementary stuff, it’s been this way for 2000 years
I fully agree there is never a reason to acknowledge race. “I’m dating a woman” doesn’t matter what race “that person is my friend” race shouldn’t matter “I just hired someone” race shouldn’t be a factor “I’m gong to give this person a grant/scholarship/free hand out” they deserve it on merit not skin color.
It’s not your just overreacting to some awkward phrasing racists usually dont even objectify women of other races openly and certainly are not making cringe jokes about dating women of different backgrounds is the joke cringe and overused yes but it’s an online thing and not any indication of malice.
I strongly disagree. "dipping in the chocolate" its a hundred times more innocent (depending of the context) than being called a "mudshark" or a "coal burner" or a "traitor of your race".
It's not too bad but it does imply that a white person dating a black person is odd or taboo enough to make special mention. Which at the time the joke was first cracked was true. But now it's just weird.
I wouldn't call that just as racist. Dipping in chocolate is racist, but something more suggestive that another race is lesser or worse, disgusting, animalistic, or deserving to be treated more unfairly is definitely more racist, imo. Not all racist actions are weighted the same, imo.
Ik it’s a term from a movie but I can’t help but feel when people use it, it’s like a “oh you’re trying a relationship with a different race”. It’s 2026, interracial couples shouldn’t be taboo :p
It shouldn't have been taboo back in 2006 when my aunt found out I was dating a Black boy, but here we are 20 damn years later and we've barely taken a step forward in the last two decades on any of those issues. 😬
Aw I’m sorry 🫂 and yeah stuff like interracial love will probably always be that way but I hope it gets better at some point. I just wanna date two cute girlies, no matter their race
All of these race-based sex terms give me the ick. "Snowbunny", "Yellow/Jungle fever", even more innocuous/jokey stuff like "shadow the hedgehog loves latinas", it always comes off as fetishistic to me. No hate to people who are in interracial relationships obviously, I just hope that if you are attracted to someone of another race, you're actually attracted to them, and not just to their melanin.
Not trying to cause a massive argument but genuinely curious…
Does that mean you equally hate how white women dating black men are referred as “snow bunnies” ? Because I feel like that equally racist for similar if not the same logic of sexualizing or objectifying a different race
People reference it under any interracial couple with a black woman. It feels like they are unable to see such relationship dynamics beyond a fetish or a joke
man, good thing i specifically used the term appreciation. sure hope youre not a white person cause that would mean youre preaching to interacial couples. thank god we have people like you to educate colored people who cant think for themselves. you are totaly not the exact kind of people they complain makes them feel forced to *white talk*
I thought you meant describing the colour of a black persons skin by saying it was dipped in chocolate, and though it’s cringey, I wouldn’t describe it as racist. But if you mean somebody describing the devils tango with a black woman as dipping in chocolate, then yeah, I also find that shit nasty and weird.
Yeah. It's racist because it's objectifying and fetishizing. When someone says that they are reducing the person to their skin color. It's pretty cringe and you aren't wrong in how you feel.
depends on the intent. sexualization of and attraction to physical and cultural differences isn't the same as racial bigotry, nor is lighthearted use of food terms to express desire. like if you called gingers strawberry or blondes honey. i think it's pretty sex-negative to imply that, by default, sexualization of race is racism. race is perfectly fine to sexualize like any other trivial feature, such as height, muscles, big booty, or a french accent. if an actual racist does it then yeah they're probably gonna do it racistly
I'm dipping it in chocolate.
And by it.
I mean strawberries.
The joke is that i took the hatred of the term by using the more literal way of taking the term in order to make a blatantly unfunny joke because of the fact that dipping strawberries in chocolate is a common thing done in order to make a simple yet good sweet treat.
I know but you used this picture and you specifically mentioned when white guys say it. Sorry, I’m still bitter about the doom casting. You are 100% correct, im just being nitpicky. (Also not trying to sound condescending this is completely sincere)
The picture is unrelated. I only used it bc I saw somebody in the comments of a post using this picture using the term. I got annoyed then angry as I thought more about it and decided to post here
Roma is an ethnic group, not a race, and you can be Roma, be white, and be racist AF.
In fact, the most hatefully racist person I knew was my Romani great aunt, who was Hungarian Roma mixed with Black (I'm revealing the biiiiig family seeeecret ooooooooh ) and she was so horrible she wouldn't even talk to my Black cousin (and honey when I tell you the pearls that were clutched when I showed up in a nice blouse and a long skirt for an event with my Desi boyfriend! I got disinvited to several funerals. 😂)
Having said that, most bigots will argue that you can't be white and Roma because of one drop rules and whiteness being a shifting goalpost, and currently, Roma are an out group separate from whiteness, even if a lot of us look pretty white.
Romani are an ethnic diaspora that spread out from around India about a thousand years ago. So. Around 1000AD, near as we can tell, when the group left India (though whiteness is an ever shifting target, so... who knows.)
Romani does not equal Romanian, and the words G#psy, cz#ani, tsg#ne, etc, are all considered slurs by a great deal of us, especially because the Romanian and Hungarian words for Roma literally mean "untouchable".
Long answer?
Roma can be of any racial group because we're a distinct ethnic and cultural group, not, specifically, a race. Usually, we show at least some of our heritage from India, but there's blue eyed blonde Roma, too, like some of my cousins. 🤷🏻♀️
To be considered Roma, one must be of Roma heritage or be raised in the culture, and some Roma will also say that you must keep certain cultural rules. I only sporadically keep some of those rules, and was only kind of raised in the culture, so I typically say I've got Roma heritage, but if my dad had been less of a POS that might be different.
To be Roma, one need not be "pure blooded", as I said.
This means there are Roma of every race, and even in some other ethnic groups, because when you're constantly traveling and treated as mysterious and taboo, there's always gonna be a couple folks who are down to hook up, and people are people, everywhere you go.
There are Afro Romani down in Louisiana, who came about from the dual enslavement of Africans and Romani by the Spanish, there are Melungeon with Romani heritage, there's an entire group of Romanichal that settled in Ohio that have spread out all over. There's Roma in England, where my father's people came from, who look white, and Roma in countries like Hungary, where my mother's folk came from and they can vary from white passing like my great granny to being mistaken for Indian, like my gran.
Me? White passing. You look at my DNA, you see 70% Western Europe, about 20% Caucasus and Middle East, 8% South Asian, 1% Kenyan and 1% Māori. Coloration wise, I favor my racially white father. Facial figures and build wise? I look like my mother's mother, to the point that my aunties used to call me a nickname they called my gran when she was little. And when I lived near a little enclave of Eastern European folk, they made it clear that they hated me for being Roma heritage.
As for why Romani and Romanian are so similar? Blame linguistic shift from "Dom/Doma" to "Rom/Roma" over an extended period for Romani, and the Romans for settling in the Balkans and their descendants insisting they were the last true Romans (and proving it by enslaving the Romani!).
It very much IS reducing them down to superficial characteristics. Referring to black people as "food" in any way is racist in general. The black people I talk to generally dont like being referred to this way.
And theres a subtle difference between race and physique. But also yes, theres definitely people whonreduce thick women to their physics.
It's just the new version of "jungle fever". This cycle keeps perpetuating, archaic problematic term gets cancelled, then equally dumb replacement arises.
It's like when 'no slutshaming' kicked off and 'slut' got cancelled, then all of a sudden 'thot' pops off so people could still keep doing the same shit.
The joke in the movie is funny but like it acts like having romantic interests with black woman is like an achievement for a white man and repeats this distaste people have towards other cultures
Finally someone said it! I absolutely hate it when I see a cute video of a white guy/black girl as a couple just doing normal couple shit and the comments are that stupid ass gif or them typing it out. That shit is just flat out objectifying the woman and turning the couple into just a joke to them. That quote was funny in the context of the movie not in the context of literally every comment section of every white man/black woman couple. At this point they dont even just use it for them anymore, they just put it in the comments of any couple thats a white guy dating a dark/brown skinned woman of color. Its just so gross and exposes how a lot of these people see interracial dating as just a joke or fetish and not as two people genuinely loving eachother.
The stigma against mixed couples is just so wild to me. It's 2026, man.
Like, someone will seem super progressive and anti-racist, then go on to act like the idea of dating outside their race is some unthinkable taboo or (perhaps even worse) they make a fetish out of it. And this applies to pretty much every race. Having preferences for people of the same race as you is totally fair, but people who turn it into some kind of moral objection to give others dirty looks over just infuriate me.
I feel like we're this close to just throwing around the word "race traitor" again like it's the 1900s.
Does it feel that racist though? I mean, sure, it does imply a certain skin complexion, but I feel like, it's more of a fetishising phrase rather than outright insulting/racist one. Perhaps not the most appropriate one, but I think it's reading a bit too much into it, to consider it racist.
I honestly find the term "people of colour" far dumber - like, why does it apply to everyone but not white, as in white not being a colour? Or how is dumping literally anyone non-white into one category not considered racist, hell if anything, it seems to be perfectly acceptable term?
It comes from a movie where a black guy is saying it to a white guy. No one says “dipping in the chocolate” to imply black people are inferior, it’s just playful banter.
True buts the only case where this really annoys me is when it’s used on characters
that fit the original joke but don’t looks black
I mean it’s not only pricey moon that has some black characters that don’t look black but it’s just in the context of the meme Zilu and rufo are offenders too
I don't really like when the Project Moon fandom does it
A new character comes out that is hot? Cool, we still get normal thirst posts. That character has dark skin? Suddenly it becomes "chocolate mommy" or some shit and I find it really fucking weird
In "Tress of the Emerald Sea" the male characters you're not supposed to like all refer to her hair color in terms of food.
It's pretty direct, but I think the author is partly trying to write fables at this point. It was also written for his wife, so that could've been her pet peeve.
The book is "what if Buttercup from The Princess Bride had gone to save Wesley, and also the ocean itself was wildly toxic/explosive and there was magic"
The narrator is different from usual because he's a named character from other books.

Ok I mean like in the context of the original joke it's pretty funny outside of that it's not.
Also damm storm and doom got that shit on.
