@ComputerEnjoye1 @JimEightDigits @Noahpinion Much of the bigotry and backlash of today stems from resentment of that era and the developments that lead to it.
@ComputerEnjoye1 @JimEightDigits @Noahpinion The wave in the 90s is still often talked about pejoratively and hated by large segments if not the majority of the people. It won certain formal elements of culture but lost the battle for hearts and minds for the silent majority.
@Noahpinion As Jewish man you should know there's even still backlash to the Jews based on millenia old grievances even without delving into Jews control the modern world conspiracies.
@Noahpinion There's still backlash to what people called "political correctness" in the 90s. Hell there's still backlash to the result of the civil war. Don't know if current ideological wars will ever truly die anytime soon, even if they ebb and flow and become niche temporarily/permenantly
@Dahabaalihussen @UKBorder@ukhomeoffice Just shows that even too they might humour us the world doesn't really think we can be British, French, German, Dutch etc. And that those things mean white, unfortunately
@AishaDaughter Tbf Africa has always been racially diverse and there has been a euro precense for millenia. I think that 0.1% perspective might be a bit dodgy based on the fact that most African countries don't do racial stats and is probably based on certain SA communities
@IonaItalia Forgot to mention that I've seen people in Japan think the UK is an ethnostate. Most people in Asia don't have much of a knowledge of modern immigration to the west and aren't exposed to English/european language written sources and can't follow western news efficiently.
@IonaItalia Often it's because people, especially internationally, can't comprehend the idea that someone whose not white could be of a European identity be it British or otherwise. In many parts of the world the image of Europe and European identities is homogenous
@MikkeMus8@ScottZPinkRose@imillhiser A Conservative is someone who tends to want to conserve more elements of a society than they want to change. I don't think it means seeing all change as evil tho. It's a concept that has been co opted by the right even tho it doesn't have to mean that.
@winterwoman112 @HelloFrmJapan If they are born in Japan they are Japanese. There are plenty of white Japanese people, black Japanese people. If you have Japanese citizenship or call Japan your home you are Japanese.
@NAN_DINI_ @sunny_hundal Where are the black or white or brown Indian presidents who aren't of South Asian descent? You mention religion like its a race.
@live_infamously@native4data Can a black or white person with no native ancestry be a native in your eyes if they have tribal membership? I've seen debates about this.
This is East Asia generally. Most of their culture is so stolen and ripped off from generally darker folks yet they hate us and black east Asians are sidelined
@ISASaxonists@DrDadabhoy Even besides the obvious problem with racism of blackface, the irony of her "jewface" comments really get me. It's also incredibly problematic to pretend there's a "jew face" equivalent to blackface, especially when jew isn't a race defined by appearance unless you are a nazi
@Armyofwin_ @BebeHappyJoy @imillerthomson @AngelaSterritt This isn't true. I live in Europe and people absolutely racialise the British, French, Germans etc. As white. Hence why I get stared at
@queercyclist1@AngelaSterritt Poles are white, definitely not bipoc, I don't know why they are trying to escape their whiteness, probably to deny their privilege
