@Whateveredges@d_aydreami@njkoospanda Good optics ig, though lying about race to stick it to the Yankees is second nature to them. South Americans do the same thing
@justgogojuice@d_aydreami@njkoospanda Yep, exactly, Latinos the exact same thing, and I still feel like it’s so dumb, because nowadays it’s so easy to know what’s going on in other countries, just by a quick search…
@Whateveredges I think in some areas yes and others no. I feel like a big issue is everyone else not seeing how conservative the vast majority of the world is.
@studlov3r Exactly, people on this app make everything black and white, but that’s just not how our world works, but I’d agree that the vast majority of people regardless of their background tend to lean right…
After having the displeasure of seeing Europeans share their takes on race, Im genuinely confused why American leftists act like everyone else is so much more progressive than us.
Being Black and living in Europe and seeing those sorts of tweets genuinely spins me. Every other week there’s a fascist march, a far-right group gaining momentum or pogrom against Black and Brown ppl, but #they come on here and LIE about this colourless utopia. Madness.
Im palop so I know a lot about Portugal and I just found out through the internet that portugueses are actually the ones who invented the concept of race, its insane how much they hide their history and its on purpose…
I think that’s why u see some Americans and others believing that race is a American concept because Europeans avoid at all costs acknowledging their history of colonization and the fact they are the ones who created the concept of race.
this is why I hate Europeans. it was their fuck ass ancestors sitting up there making race theories and now it’s Americans fault after said theory has been institutionalized and used to brutalize people of color. the naturalists who started this were EUROPEAN!
@wiinksalot@njkoospanda Exactly, believe me it’s not, I’m black in Europe, there’s a lot of racism and xenophobia, they just love to act like it doesn’t exist (while they know it does and normalized it) to avoid accountability.
