You aren't making the point you think you're making, and further from having seen your post history I know you aren't arguing in good faith.

Are the slavic people not white? What point do you think I'm making?

Slavic slaves in the Roman empire predate the social construct of whiteness. Implying they were oppressed because they were white is one of the stupider things I've read on the Internet today.

Okay, modern day. Look at the DEI initiatives. Literally just systemic racism against white people (and Asian people, but thats not what this argument is about), thats why they keep getting slapped down in court, and now having laws directly passed against even teaching them because they are so racist.

Lol. Girl, hush.

Next tell us how libraries are "woke".

Libraries aren't woke. What are you even talking about?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Aww, you were on a roll.

You had "DEI", "reverse racism"... a couple more punches and you could have got "shithead bingo". I understand it comes with free breadsticks.

There isn't a point in talking to you, is there?

Dei is not remotely racist unless you believe the idiotic shit from fox News and newsmax

Treating people differently based on the color of their skin is textbook racism

Did the people oppressing Slavs consider them white and were they oppressed for being white?
