”But he’s always so nice to me and my friends and family, who are exclusively white, he’s never racist around them.”
Damn, that's totally what she'd say. Excluding the whiteness part. She hasn't reflected on that.
That's my mom. She doesn't really think about stuff like that at all. I still get bullied by my dad whenever I date black people or any POC and I'm well into my 20's.
At least you know which shirt to give to your dad next Christmas
My dad had an underlying hate towards others when I was little but it mostly sizzled out by the time Obama was president (2008). 2024 it's a kerosene fire. Oddly when I was younger he went on a rant about Jews, yet now he seems fine with Jewish people and just hates everyone else.
Racism is back with a vengeance and media/news is promoting it.
Your dad is a butthead I'm sorry you have to deal with that.
My mom pretty much had an existential crisis over this when she made a friend at work and her husband turned out to be Trump supporter. And this is in Canada. It makes you wonder where girls like that even find guys like that.
Trump supporters in Canada are especially stupid.
I've seen Confederate flags flying off the backs of pick up trucks on the west coast of Canada... Amazing how stupid people can be
When you realize it's about racism and not politics you understand why they are like this and it's not surprising.
I think German Trump supporters in Germany take the crown: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/07/world/europe/germany-trump-far-right.html
When you've been conditioned all your life by society (and conservatives) to believe that your primary function is to be a baby factory, and you know you only have a finite amount of time to be a baby factory before you're old and busted and cast aside, you do whatever you can to land someone stable enough to marry, regardless of their politics.
If these people are in your social circle it says more about you than "average" straight people.
Yeah, what kind of amoral filth still has Republican friends?
The only person i know who isnt homophobic, racist and xenophobic is my sister
I cant just not be able to talk to anyone
Where the hell are you (broadly speaking), because I'm in Tennessee (70% Trump 2020) and the only Republicans I have to deal with are family and work related.
I don't get the joke.
Neither did I. I may still not understand it. But I googled salon article and found a site with that name that publishes progressive news and opinions. So I guess they are saying a lot of couples are opposite in opinion on these things. They might be joking about the one spouse being oblivious to their partners racism or having double standards or something.

Pretty much. I personally find it funny because I know one of these couples. It's obviously not 1/3, but they do exist.
The joke is that every 1 out of 3 heterosexual couples features a basic woman and a racist bro.
Sometimes the gal can be racist. My friends tried to hook me up with a cute lady who had an amazing accent. Turns out, she was south-african and very quickly let me know that ending apartheid was a mistake because "some people just can't prepare for modern life".
Noped right the fuck out of setting up that date.
Yeah, this is true. So-called "country girls" are some of the most racist people I've met.
I think the point is that she's a nice person in general and he's a very racist POS.
Hm, ok, I would have never guessed it from her speech bubble.
That's not the look of a bigot, it's the look of a man who's fed up with low-rent posturing clickbait. The look of someone who got a Salon article entitled What your household's toothpaste preferences say about White Fragility™ that he knows will be paygated or cookienoticed after two seconds' scrolling.
I want you to describe every meme
I want that shirt
Here you go
You wouldn't download a car
The fuck I wouldn't
*Proceeds to order 30k spare parts for "warranty replacement" to build my own car over a span of 3 years *
For some reason I'm reminded of a local house that flies both the Confederate and Pride flags.
They aren't mutually exclusive flags, so I have to wonder if it is one opinion, or many.
Could also be someone flying the flags because they think it's a funny thing to do, entirely unrelated to the political statement.
Which I guess is a political statement in itself.
I certainly found it funny as fuck, my thought process was "ugh, a bigoted cun-wait???"
gay people can absolutely be bigoted
I used to work with a hispanic gay trump supporter who was also an evangelical Christian.
I'm gay and I've lived in SLC for almost 65 years, and let me tell you - gay people are among the MOST bigoted. They think they are very accepting, but the truth is, most of them reject anyone who doesn't fit their idea about what a gay male should be. If you look like a twink or you aren't a certain way, you get shunned here completely. It's really nasty to see.
But, the truth is, all human beings are bigoted. We have to be, we're wired up that way. We are wired to want to only hang out with certain people and reject others, and see other people as inferior in almost every situation. It's sort of a survival mechanism from primitive days, and it's part of who we are as a species.
They aren’t mutually exclusive flags
I wonder how the Confederates would have felt about Pride month.
