Comment on So glad I suck dick
Nelots@lemmy.zip 3 weeks agoIt is though. Cracker is used as an insult exclusively against (usually poor) white people. I can only hope you know that, so what sarcastic point are you trying to make? Are you saying dick was a bad comparison to bitch, or are you saying dick is actually a slur the same as cracker? Or something else?

Poor white people, they have it so hard 😔
You can’t be racist against white people.

Racism is discrimination or prejudice based on race. By definition, you are incorrect.

I see I gave you the benefit of the doubt for no reason. That’s my bad, I should have known better.
Your comment is completely irrelevant. Whether you want to call it racist or whatever else, a word used to insult a group of people based on the color of their skin is a slur. Simple as.

A word used to insult a privileged group for being members of that privileged group (i.e. white people) is not a slur. 🙄
Also acceptable: whitey or honkey
And don’t pretend like this is about poverty to try and squeeze crackers into a minority group. Crackerdom is not limited by class.

Whites are not privileged all over the world. Get on with the program.

You are living proof that its possible to be racist against white people lmao. This is why .ml has such a bad rap. Have a terrible rest of your day.

I generally agree that bitch is a slur, the logic of censoring it IS consistent regardless of these opinions.
However, there are two types of racism and you are conflating the two. Don’t get me wrong, institutional racism is far more significant of an issue and victimises minority groups as you describe.
However interpersonal racism does not require societal or cultural context to be racism.
These people were assholes to you first but there is no need to be an asshole to random people just because they are not members of a minority group.
That is undeniably racism, whether the person is white in america or han Chinese in china.

Congratulations on disproving your own point.
