Just curious how many of you are cool with this deeply racist image being the header for one of your comms

Well ideally, everyone here would agree this is problematic. But instead a whole bunch of people jumped in to defend it to the death

They jumped in to defend themselves. That's what happens when you attack them. If you attack the thing and not the people, they don't get so defensive.

No one attacked anyone. OP asked how many of you were cool with this image. All you have to do is say "actually no, that image is fucked up" and suddenly you're not under attack. In order to interpret this post as anything remotely similar to an attack on your character, you have to first decide that you're cool with racism.

No one is under attack, but you have to respond a specific way to stop the attack that isnt happening?

Interesting that people here are interpreting an attack on racism as an attack on them personally. Wonder why that is

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You didn't attack racism. You attacked people because there was racism nearby. Anyone who asked for an explanation was then called racist. You attacked people personally.

I'm sure you're going to go now and make sure that there is no longer any racism around you to confuse people

Not really. It wasn't really a possibility until you came along. I'm just going to do something more productive with my time than talking to you. It'll be good for me, mentally.

Susaga, when you come back from ~~defending racism~~ being productive, take a look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Peril

Wanna hear your opinion on that.

Oh you wanna hear others opinions?

So not going to do anything about the racism then
