Up and coming somethingrather.

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@Geo86_Chi @RealAnimancer @BenjaminPDixon Agreed; your argument IS pretty dumb.

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@Geo86_Chi @RealAnimancer @BenjaminPDixon Original Post.

Welcome to the internet.

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@Geo86_Chi @RealAnimancer @BenjaminPDixon You said, and I quote:
"Especially when your options reflect that of a white dude who's racist as fuck."

So unless you think having racist opinions doesn't make you racist, which is stupid, then yes, you called him racist. So what racist opinions are you referring to?

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@Geo86_Chi @RealAnimancer @BenjaminPDixon Animancer. My apologies for assuming you'd be able to pick up on context clues. Typing Animancer went over my character limit.

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@Geo86_Chi @RealAnimancer @BenjaminPDixon I'm going to assume you meant "opinions", so, setting aside how ideology could even be indicative of race, other than racial supremacy, which I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you don't think he's advocating for; what views do you think make Daymon racist?

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@Geo86_Chi @RealAnimancer @BenjaminPDixon any more than me being white cancels out me being Asian. The fact is, you shouldn't look at a goddamn cartoon avatar and assume a person's race. I can't believe we've had to argue back and forth for hours over something that should be so plainly obvious.

Just don't assume.

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@Geo86_Chi @RealAnimancer @BenjaminPDixon Additionally, skin tone does not equal race. I already told you he's very light skinned. That doesn't make him not black. "Black" and "white" are terms we use to describe races, not necessarily skin colors. He is both, but him being white doesn't cancel out him being black (cont)

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@Geo86_Chi @RealAnimancer @BenjaminPDixon Wait, so people need to make it obvious up front what their race is now?

Should we wear a little badge on our clothes to signify that?

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@Geo86_Chi @RealAnimancer @BenjaminPDixon Okay, for the love of whatever god you may believe in, it's AVATAR, not avitar. Are you not getting a little red squiggly line under that, or if you're on your phone, a suggested edit? I ignored it the first 2 times, but I've been spelling it correctly and hoping you'd catch on.

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@leonharlert @RealAnimancer @thotskee 1) How does one "talk rich"?

2) Why does rich equal white?

3) According to the logic in this thread, you're an albino man. Are you?

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@Geo86_Chi @RealAnimancer @BenjaminPDixon You're the one that responded to a tweet accusing a person of not being a race that he is. I don't know what the fuck you were expecting, dude.

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@Geo86_Chi @RealAnimancer @BenjaminPDixon This kinda gets to the root of the initial issue, doesn't it? People are so focused on their racial identities that they identify more with skin color than characteristics and personality. That's disturbing.

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@Geo86_Chi @RealAnimancer @BenjaminPDixon I mentioned the artist's race because you called it an anime picture. I guess what is or isn't anime is a big debate for some people, but I wouldn't call something a Mexican-American dude drew anime.

I mean technically it's not even animated, but now I'm being a smartass.

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@RealAnimancer Though damn, if all I have to do to be another race is use a profile picture, I guess on Discord I'm Japanese.

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@Geo86_Chi @RealAnimancer @BenjaminPDixon By the way, what does there being white Mexicans have to do with anything? Because I said a Mexican dude drew his profile picture? I'm not seeing the relevance...

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@Geo86_Chi @RealAnimancer @BenjaminPDixon As I said above, he IS white. He is ALSO black. He is biracial. A fucking cartoon avatar isn't going to change his actual goddamn genetics. You are literally using how this artist decided to draw this character as a reference for an actual, non-animated, human's genetics...

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@a_luffa @RealAnimancer @BenjaminPDixon How? What does any of that have to do with being white?

[Justin Bird @Half_Heartless]

@RealAnimancer @BenjaminPDixon Yes, you are. You're ALSO black, but you're white. Being biracial doesn't make you not one of those races individually.

That being said, in this context, you BEING biracial certainly doesn't put you in the same category as a fully white person, so Benjamin here is still dumb.
