I think it works like this: If your friend makes this joke to you and a small group of friends, and you know they’re not racist, and just being silly, it’s okay. If you hear a stranger shout this in a crowd, it’s too risky to give them the benefit of the doubt. Because they might be a bad actor trying to drum up support with the wrong kind of people. You all feel like like-minded friends to me, but you’re really strangers, and so are the people who can hear what you say.
Okay but with the context of the headline and the presence of an emoji, you can easily tell this is a light-hearted joke. Some people seem to be looking for problems where there are none.
There are plenty of people in the comment sections of these articles actually complaining about white people being targeted. It’s a matter of reading the room.
you certainly are proud in your ignorance of what it takes to have spare millions while white in america vs what it takes to have spare millions while not white in america. odds are, for one of them you just have to work harder than the other given the same circumstances and dilemmas etc.
every none white celebrity not being invited : ☹
What the faq is it with Lemmy recently. Nobody seems to get jokes anymore.
