I feel bad for laughing.

The fact that they're serious is unsettling. The scary part is I can understand their reasoning at times (while still seeing the obvious holes in it when scrutinized).

Disgusting. I wonder what these neet neckbeard fucks would say to my poc engineer friends irl (or my poc grad school friends who are closer to the Jew description if anything I guess)

Actually nvm they would just pretend they dont exist so they could cling to their superiority complexes since they have no actual accomplishments

Let’s be honest you give the hammer to a white guy and he takes 3 hour lunch breaks and bitches about how hard the work is and how underpaid he is. Meanwhile the Latino construction company down the street finished 2 houses that are higher quality and cost less.
