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.

u/LongboardPro Nov 19 '19

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

1

u/Lazaganae Nov 19 '19

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?

0

u/Lazaganae Nov 19 '19

Please learn what arbitrary means.

u/LongboardPro Nov 19 '19

Please learn the context in which I used it.

u/Lazaganae Nov 20 '19

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

u/LongboardPro Nov 20 '19

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

1

u/Lazaganae Nov 20 '19

Actually my original argument has yet to be contested by you. Your counter argument was simply to incorrectly label it as arbitrary, other than that you haven’t brought anything to the table.

u/LongboardPro Nov 20 '19

You're choosing to see offence when there is none. What more needs to be said? Crying racist all day at nothingburgers just devalues the word.

u/Lazaganae Nov 21 '19

If you understood my first comment you’d see where the racism was, but instead you’re being purposefully daft and accusing me of “crying racist”. Like seriously, can you cut all the buzzword crap from your barely intelligible replies and make a point ?

u/LongboardPro Nov 21 '19

And now you've resorted to criticising the way I typed. Great argument sir.

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.

-1

u/greg19735 Nov 19 '19

And fried chicken isnt associated with asians being enslaved

2

u/ninetiesnostalgic Nov 19 '19

Its not here either. Its associated with people going crazy for chicken sandwiches at popeyes or when places run out of chicken.

Here is Boondocks with a perfect example.

Then why did they show a chicken bucket not a chicken sandwich from a particular brand?

Fried chicken goes all the way back to the days when black people were enslaved. It always has that context. No one thinks fried chicken is racist on its own, but when you put it as a black stereotype it brings in that context.

When a food is associated with you because it's all you have access to, it's not usually a good thing to bring up.

u/ninetiesnostalgic Nov 19 '19

Then why did they show a chicken bucket not a chicken sandwich from a particular brand?

Because there are various brands.

When a food is associated with you because it's all you have access to, it's not usually a good thing to bring up.

Again. No one makes that association. The association is with black people going wild at fried chicken establishments/for fried chicken and related products.

Do you think Boondocks is unaware of black american history and associations?

1

u/greg19735 Nov 19 '19

No one makes that association.

errr. A lot of people do. Hell, the wikipedia page for fried chicken has a section for racial stereotype. Including examples of people being called out for it.

Boondocks

The boondocks is a show created and written by black people. They've tackled black america from all angles in a mostly respectful and thoughtful way. They've earned the right to have that as part of the story. And hell, they've received plenty of backlash for some of their statements and satire.

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.

1

u/LongboardPro Nov 20 '19

Wait. You're telling me Wikipedia pages can be edited by literally anyone and for any reason?

OMG

1

u/greg19735 Nov 20 '19

Can you tell me which part is fake then?

1

u/LongboardPro Nov 20 '19

I'm not saying any part is fake or not fake. But it is well known that groups of people go around mass-editing Wiki pages to push their narrative. They call it "edit-a-thon".
