@Y2K_mindset @JMcniff1283 ?? legitimately insane stretch lol. i’ve made my objections to your use of the term very clear—it’s lazy stereotyping and used by nazi freaks as a straight up slur. if you think that’s “basically the same” as what she says in the video then there’s no way forward here.

[fries near me @pi_maxiu]

“diasporoid” definitely on the list of words you shouldn’t feel comfortable using if you’re white

[𝙻𝚘𝚘𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚃𝚘𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚢 🇵🇸 @Y2K_mindset]

I want to move to NYC so I can get lectured and finger-wagged by unpleasant rich diasporoid women whose family own slaves in the old country.

@Y2K_mindset @JMcniff1283 find one instance of me asking anyone to accept her moral judgments and I’ll concede that you have a point

[fries near me @pi_maxiu]

@Y2K_mindset @JMcniff1283 Because as I have explained to you several times throughout this thread, that is a description of historically specific diaspora groups, not diaspora groups *in general* lol

[fries near me @pi_maxiu]

@JMcniff1283 @Y2K_mindset bc their migrant status in general (which is all that the term “diasporoid” itself actually gestures at) has no relation to the things that make them suck, which are more specific and should be identified as such. otherwise you’re just following the logic of racial stereotyping.

[fries near me @pi_maxiu]

@Y2K_mindset if i was trying to use your use of “diasporoid” to shut down any and all criticism of the girl in the video then you would have a point here. but i wasn’t, so you don’t.

[fries near me @pi_maxiu]

@Y2K_mindset “can you see that upholding moral standards which absolve Korean storeowners during the rodney king riots creates resentment” yes obviously lol but at no point in this entire back and forth have i done that

[fries near me @pi_maxiu]

@Y2K_mindset shadowboxing again lol none of this is responsive to the convo we’ve been having. you keep pointing to historically specific diaspora communities when i say that flatly generalizing diaspora communities as a whole is untenable. no one’s implying you can’t criticize chabad here!

[fries near me @pi_maxiu]

@FredFli20201371 @Whenwillth40861 I have some ideas lol

[fries near me @pi_maxiu]

@JMcniff1283 @Y2K_mindset yeah and the tweet you’re all responding to is about the term itself and not the person it’s being used against, whose personal background has zero bearing on my point. or do you think that all generalizations are defensible if in certain cases they’re true?

[fries near me @pi_maxiu]

@yummy___cookies @Y2K_mindset I get that you want it to just mean the first thing, but as any even cursory exposure to the way that the open nazis on here talk reveals, it’s also very much the second thing, which is to be expected when all the term itself actually gestures to is someone’s migrant status!

[fries near me @pi_maxiu]

@yummy___cookies @Y2K_mindset look you can pretend that “diasporoid” is some precise term only for migrants who borrow social justice language to distract from their class privilege, and not also a pejorative used by racists against nonwhite migrants in general, but my mentions very much suggest otherwise lol

[fries near me @pi_maxiu]

@Y2K_mindset so venting frustration at ppl who are part of diaspora communities writ large is weird and analytically baseless! the kind of generalization you’re trying to defend just isn’t tenable.

[fries near me @pi_maxiu]

@Y2K_mindset Again though, that’s only true of *particular* diasporas. There are just as many if not more examples of diaspora communities (hmong, central american, east african, et al.) whose average members certainly do not enjoy any kind of meaningful systemic privilege.

@skinlouse polish

[fries near me @pi_maxiu]

@Y2K_mindset And if you want proof that the term is more commonly used by racists to just describe nonwhite ppl in western countries then again, feel free to take a look at about half of the replies to my original QT

[fries near me @pi_maxiu]

@Y2K_mindset The thing that makes Persian monarchists evil isn’t that they migrated from one country to another, it’s bc of how and why they did that, which is actually precisely the thing that “diasporoid” doesn’t capture!
