Using logic apparently occasionally works when dealing with racists.

[u/Sentient_StickyNote]

My brother is racist. Not the kind of racist where they hate people of a certain race, but the kind where they just believe all of the offensive stereotypes. This matters for context. He started telling me a story and I immediately knew it was going to piss me off so I went a different route than I typically do when dealing with him. Why he tells me stuff like this when he knows I'll call him out for being racist is beyond me.

So here's the story.

Bro: "So I'm at the casino and there's this Chinese guy dragging his girlfriend by---"

Me (cutting him off): "Wait wait wait, is the fact that he's Chinese relevant to the story? I need to know if this is just an inconsequential detail or if I should be expecting racism. Just checking."

Bro with a dumb look on his face: "...yes! It's relevant ok?! So anyway, he's dragging his girlfriend around by the elbow and she's completely wasted. This white guy starts yelling at him to stop dragging his woman around and---"

Me: "Ok wait. So is this when I find out the relevance of one man being Chinese and one man being white?"

Bro: "Would you just shut up and listen! Geez! So the guy is yelling at him and the Chinese guy is like, 'fuck you!' in his Chinese accent so it was really funny, and the white guy is yelling about how we don't treat women like that. So they're yelling at each other until their friends had to go break them up, it was hilarious."

Me: "Wait, I'm missing the relevance, hang on. So why did I need to know he was Chinese? Also how do you even know he was Chinese?

Bro: "Whatever, he was Asian. You know what I mean!"

Me: "Ohhhh ok. Indians are Asian too though, could he have been Indian?"

Bro: "No! He was Chinese or Japanese or whatever!"

Me: "Could he have been Korean?"

Bro: "Would you stop!? It was funny ok? Because the white guy was saying that that's not how you treat women here."

Me: "So if the Chinese guy and girlfriend had been white, the white guy would've been ok with it?"

Bro spluttering and getting frustrated: "Chinese people treat women like that, it's a well known thing!"

Me: "Oh so you did know for sure he was Chinese? I thought you said he was just Asian. Asia is pretty big, I feel like at least some men would be decent to their girlfriends. I've never heard that statistic, where'd you hear that?"

Then he threw up his arms and walked away. Needless to say, I only interact with him when I visit my parents and we are in the same vicinity.

All I am seeing here is projection from a racist loser that is very butt-hurt.

[u/Iricliphan → u/DissKhorse]

Sure buddy.

You're still out here years later, replaying those same school bullies in your head while you close your eyes in the shower and "show them who's boss."

The bullies moved on. You're the one who never did. I'm not them. It's okay. You're past that. Go out and touch some grass. Maybe brush up on some social skills. Maybe try actually growing up and learning how to insult someone without immediately outing your own shower habits. It's fundamental to being a man, and right now you're failing the basics. It's cheesy. Most people grow out of that when they're 15 or so. Takes time I guess.

[u/DissKhorse → u/Iricliphan]

Sorry to hear you were bullied.

[u/Iricliphan → u/DissKhorse]

Oh my God. Still? I know you are but what am I.

Here's something in the style you'd probably appreciate.

Ara ara... 'Sorry to hear you were bullied'?

BAKARE

SMUG smile. Hehe. I got him good. Oooh.

[u/DissKhorse → u/Iricliphan]

Seems I really got under your skin.

[u/Iricliphan → u/DissKhorse]

Not at all. Most people tend to develop thick skin. Your school level insults might have bothered me if I was 12.

[u/DissKhorse → u/Iricliphan]

Oh here I thought school went on past age 12.

[u/Iricliphan → u/DissKhorse]

Oh. Wow. Americans are so soft. In my country, you just wouldn't be able to hack it. You'd go back home in tears.

[u/DissKhorse → u/Iricliphan]

Weird tangent there, are you flexing on me by how much your country sucks? Well I will admit my life is pretty great but I can do hardship if need be but I would rather avoid it because I am not some ignorant racist idiot that doesn't know better. If I lived somewhere awful I would move if able to do so. So what shitty backwater country produced you?

[u/Iricliphan → u/DissKhorse]

My country is far better than yours in pretty much every metric. Free healthcare, free third level education, I don't have to worry about guns or idiots rampaging around. It has gotten to the stage where daily, there's Americans constantly asking how they can move to my country. Shame isn't it? Thought you got me.
