Title should be “every thirs American couple”. I dont think this applies anywhere else and has anything to do with sexuality…

Only Americans can be racist?

We don’t even come close to the racism in places like Europe, either.

Hey now, in Poland it’s like every other couple

Youre right, it probably applies in other regions, but definitely not everywhere

speaking as a lesbian: I am not and have never dated the most racist man alive. QED.

As a hetero person I can say it 100% applies in Texas
1SimpleTailor@startrek.website 3 days ago
This definitely applies to a good number of gay couples in Texas too. Hetero Women do have it worse though. Progressive Southern woman’s options are pretty much:
A) Be celibate B) Move somewhere else C) Settle for the Most Racist Man Alive
Hetero Progressive men are unicorns in the American South, and them being progressive is no guarantee they will treat a woman any better. They often come with their own batch of issues and a lot of them are fuckboys.

… maybe you should talk to some minorities from other countries. I mean people who are minorities within their own country.

Spoiler: She is also racist, but in a more subtle way.

When I was a manager at a tech company this pattern female white woman was about 50% of our entry-level team. Every single day was a new journey into essential oils, herbalife, astrological signs and dreamcatchers. Their racism is there, it is subtle, but it’s also entirely a product of trying to appease the angry people in their lives.
These women are dim enough to be led to ANY way of thought. And I say this with kindness, they are often good parents and have sympathetic lives and want simple things. But holy shit their families and husbands and partners are literally demons in human flesh influencing them to the worst ways of thinking and feeling, I’ve gotten to witness them in the background on zoom being violent pigs and screaming at their infant children loud enough to pick up on the mic through a closed door.
The one thing that you don’t see that is shockingly common though is the physical abuse. As funny as this cartoon is, it doesn’t show the finger-shaped bruises up and down the woman’s arms.

Ppl pretend like women can be racist. Nah, they’re worse they’re just better at hiding it.

Yeah, that’s probably why Trump keeps winning the white woman vote in spite of everything he’s ever said or done to or about women…

Diddlydee@feddit.uk 3 days ago
Casting aspersions much? The vast majority of couples I know are hetero, and not one person is like either of these caricatures. Let’s not pretend sexual preference has anything to do with these stereotypes. It’s more likely to be the culture or social system you are familiar with.

Are you claiming to know a representative set of Americans, and 1/3 of that representative set is not racist?
I think you’re suffering from selection bias…
melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
queers are a lot less likely to do this shit though. for various reasons, many of them based around a much clearer self interest rather than some innate superiority. not that we aren’t also innately superior to the hets.
thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 2 days ago
i have known racist queers but they aren’t hateful with their racism. i think it’s the hateful part that makes it different. one guy I am thinking about is black and prefers white guy partners. He will go off on all his lovers with different people and he just admits his preference is racist but he doesn’t talk bad about other races.

bpev@lemmy.world 2 days ago
My only thing I know about Salon is that at one point, they had a piece about how depressing it was to live in a hacker house, and I was like “wait. I lived in this exact apartment”. I remembered the Pinterest guy who lived in the closet. That was slightly surreal.

I think the gag is that this person reading Salon, a progressive media outlet, is a person claiming or projecting progressive values yet is dating a bigot. Progressive dsting regressive.

What about you? Is it 2/3 or 3/3? If you’re hetero that is, and in a couple. Otherwise disregard this question or answer untruthfully.

Him being a part of every third heterosexual couple must mean he has a lot of fem presenting partners. I’m sceptical of all of them being of an ethnicity he approves of…

That’s statistically more difficult to determine because they might have other preferences towards magazines and t-shirts.

Just look for whether their skin is white, then you’ll know they are a closeted racist.
