Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
Tja@programming.dev 4 days agoThis is a dumb argument. If they banned Finland it’s OK but if they banned Congo they’re racists?
Drag thinks there are probably people who are racist against Finns. Americans were taught to think white people are one race, but that’s not what people in Europe believe. Drag looked it up on Wikipedia’s List Of Ethnic Slurs and found two slurs against Finns. One invented by Americans and one invented by Russians.
Banning all Finns or all Congolese would both be racist.
Finns is not a race, it could be an ethnicity, but not even that, since you have multiple ones in the country.
Doesn’t need to be a race to have racism against it. Racism can be against perceived race or racialised characteristics. Michael Jackson got his skin disorder racialised and suffered racism because of it. People accused him of trying to become white. Logic doesn’t factor into racism.
Because “white” is a race…
It’s both wrong? But racism is not the word to use here
