Every culture has such individuals, white people merely raised it to an art form...

Pure racism. Keep it classy, Lemmy.

Stuff like this is why I won't even tell people I use the fediverse, let alone recommend it.

I'm a white person and I chuckled. It's just a joke that you can hide if you don't enjoy it.

It's still a racist joke, and saying "you can hide it" is even worse.

I am very confused at how people on the "whitepeopletwitter" instance are angry about a joke at a white person's expense?

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago

It's not "a white person", it's a blanket jab against all white people.

Looks like a white person was mildly inconvenienced here.

Ah apologies, guess the racism is 100% warranted and okay then, because the community is made to ridicule and be racist.

As a white person, I'm fine with jokes at my expense, so long as they are actually funny, and not delivered maliciously. This struck true, and doesn't seem to be malicious.

I would love a world where "racist" jokes are a non-issue for everyone. Unfortunately there are enough racists who hide behind "it's just a joke". Till then, I will continue to fight for equality.
