  White privilege is definitely a thing in Europe. I dont see too many white looking Slavs, Balkans, or Turks getting stopped by police and asked for their papers in the Ubahn or HBF compared to Arabs and Africans.

  Also

  A new paper by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) reveals the differences between people’s experiences with police stops. It shows that Black people, Asians and Roma are still more likely to be stopped and searched by police

  Black people face a disproportionately higher risk of being stopped and searched by police in affluent areas of London. New data reveals they are up to 48 times more likely than white people to experience this

  Young men in France perceived to be Black or Arab are 20 times more likely to be stopped by police than the rest of the population, according to the country’s human rights ombudsman. Racial profiling runs deep in the French police force

  Discriminatory police practices such as racial profiling have been the subject of debate in Germany for a number of years – though without any reliable underlying statistics. The scientific staff of the Expert Council on Integration and Migration (SVR) has now for the first time examined the link between perceived phenotypic difference and police stops in Germany based on data drawn from a national representative survey. The findings show that respondents who are perceived as foreign are stopped by the police around twice as frequently as those who are not

  Minor issue my ass.

  And the Africans that immigrate to Europe often do so due the economic exploitation thats keep their countries in continuous poverty by the European rape of Africa in the 19th and 20th century. The “choice” isnt much of an actual choice…

  As a black dude with dreads I don’t care about white ppl with dreads. I just need you all to stop assuming I’m rasta or I’ll sell you weed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaysadilla⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  By that logic you can’t call ppl out on anything because jerks are gonna be jerks. If ppl didnt call jerks out on their bullshit minstrel shows would still be a thing

  Among the 101,000 surveyed households, 9,711 reported having consumed beef/buff. Using population weights given by NSSO to arrive at total population estimates, it can be said that out of 1.1 billion people, 83.5 million consumed this meat variety, which is around 7.35% of the total population.

  It doesnt make sense to have a beef burger called an Indian burger.

  You want a legit example of cultural appropriation? How about white ppl claiming for decades that rock and roll was invented by Elvis while he was ripping off Chuck Berry.

  Or techno and house was invented in Europe?

  Or the whole white girls in natuive head dresses mentioned below.

  Or just Post Malone in general

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaysadilla⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because its someone (usually white) bastardizing/stealing your culture while making money off of it.

  And how is it fusion when traditionally Indians don’t eat beef? Thats like calling a bacon cheese burger the Arab burger.

  This just sound like a good ass time and I miss being able to do this. Just replace WOW with Persona 5 and the pizza with a 6 pack and a bacon cheese burger from Parkway Deli

  Well our president is a direct result of American vapidness and celebrity worship that led to the shit stain of person being elected president. A literal subhuman celebrity was voted president and started this war. Plus the type of influencer living in Dubai probably make most of their money off of scaming ppl worldwide and are a detriment to society.

  I dont think its an American thing to want to see shitty ppl get some form of karma

  Fuck DRM, but if you want to pay for convenience and don’t care about owning your games

  That’s the problem. EA, Nintendo, Blizzard, etc all use to be “cool” pro-consumer companies until they suddenly werent. I hate ppl getting so use to convenience until its too late and then when we all own nothing we bought anymore and everyone is standing around going “How did this happen?”

  Food deserts exists because white ppl didn’t like the idea of brown ppl having the access to the same benefits they receive. American food culture doesn’t exist without brown ppl. A country that thrives on multiculturalism doesn’t exist without a love of food. The problem is racism gets in the way of its true potential

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Living in the EU as an American there is a very real sense of superiority that Europeans hold over their american counterparts. Blaming it on bots is disingenuous

  I notice this mainly from western countries. Asians and South Americans seem to recognize they arent immune from corruption and bullshit policy. Yet for some reason their western counterparts like to point the finger at other countries (namely the US) and diminish their VERY real problems. “You Americans elected a facist, what are you doing?!” Yet far right parties have been surging for the past decade in Europe and Australia.

  Facism was literally birthed in the west yet they never think it will come back

  I have to applaud you on how uncomfortable you just made me using only one word

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Comments like OP usually come from Europeans who just want to shit on America. I live abroad in Europe and I can tell you their food has just as much crap in it as ours. Plus fast food is everywhere in the cities. The key difference is access to healthy food and a higher standard of living. No food deserts or high cost of living to make fast food your only real option.

  If America didnt like food it wouldn’t have so many different food cultures to begin with

  I’m on the side of who the fuck cares what another country decides to call a sport. It has no effect on you at all. The only ppl who I seem complain about it are Europeans who need a reason to seem superior to American so everyone will forget they’ve been fucking up the world 300 years longer than the US
