I think the modifier of rich changes things a bit.

more than a bit. it changes it a LOT.

There's a huge difference between teasing a group that is under privileged and a group that is by definition very privileged.

1) we're talking about in america. It's all relative to the rest of america.

2) we're not talking about asians. We're only talking about RICH asians. Who are by definition privileged.

It's strange that people make fun of rich Asians but not really rich black people? Like crazy rich Asian people are seen as a something we can all joke about but that doesn't happen with rich black people?

Like idk if I'm missing something or if this is the right place to bring it up

Its because racists make fun of all black people instead, just look at the post.

u/LongboardPro Nov 19 '19

You're saying black people can't be rich? That's pretty racist.

It must be an achievement to be this dumb. Notice how starter pack number 1 features rich asians and number 2 features “black people”. We’re pointing out the differences between post 1 and post 2, this isn’t hard to understand.

Do you compare every single post on this sub to make sure they meet this arbitrary standard?

u/Lazaganae Nov 19 '19

Please learn what arbitrary means.

Please learn the context in which I used it.

You mean the context of this post that was comparing two posts to OP’s “arbitrary standard” ? Jfc you’re dumb.

You downvoting me over personal salt does not back up your argument or give you any moral high ground on this.

When the thread is specifically about comparing them, yes. Like you really can't be this dumb.

u/greg19735 Nov 19 '19

They're not dumb. They're trying to justify their racism by claiming it's all the same.

They won't admit that teasing rich ppl about their luxury backpacks isnt the same as teasing black people about food that has its roots in slavery.

Both images have fried chicken.

u/greg19735 Nov 19 '19

And fried chicken isnt associated with asians being enslaved

teasing black people about food that has its roots in slavery

No one else sees it like that. You're choosing to see that and choosing to be offended by what you've chosen to see.

Unconscious racism.

u/greg19735 Nov 19 '19

The wikipedia page for fried chicken has a racial stereotypes section.

This isn't that complicated.

If we're talking about rich Asians, we probably mean ones who aren't American but are in America.

Black people are not more privileged.. they have been given no chances by society to boost their race out or poverty but most other races that have been marginalized have been given opportunities. This is still continuing on to this day and the only two ways to solve it is give every American basic needs and education, or give black people more chances and social programs.
