I just got up from conversation with a couple of older black men, that I said “well I got to go back to work and start cracking the whip.” And it occurred to me then that it was probably a really insensitive stupid thing to say.
Sadly, it hadn’t occurred to me until it’s already said.
Yes great! But they don’t live in India :( So it’s pretty hard to call them indians
Not really. If you’re struggling with it it’s a you problem (and probably partially racism to boot). This isn’t a hard concept. Mexicans are Americans, Canadians are Americans, Peruvians are Americans, even though none of them live in the USA. Just because we (white people) decided to call two locations India doesn’t mean that only one group gets that name. That’s idiotic.
This is halarious, youre definitely american aren’t you?
Canadians aren’t in america eh? Absolutely no classification we can think of, perhaps a continent or 2 that could describe let’s say a north and south “america” of some sort?
Id encourage you to try and find another true analogy though, and you’ll see it doesnt exist - cause everywhere else’s name is based on where it is
also I gotta edit to add this, I’d love to see where you perceive racism in my comment, just as a readers exercise
are you purposefully misreading my comments? it’s like you’re trying to read the exact opposite of what I said.
you literally said that a group shouldn’t be called what it wants to be because it’s not from a specific region. that’s literally racism. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism
Canadians are called american cause they’re in NORTH AMERICA, not cause US has a monopoly on the classification american.
The rest I’m outta energy to argue but essentially yeah don’t use blanket terms
Yes… exactly. dude. you literally just proved my point. India does not have a monopoly on the classification Indian. Holy fuck dude.
This has gotta be intentional stupidity at this point right?
You understand things in time happen in a linearr order right? Ie if someone hurt me then I hurt them, they’re the bad guy. I hurt someone and they hurt me 🫢 an entirely different scenario
Your logic continues to make zero sense. What are you even talking about? You literally cannot even put together a coherent sentence. Good luck dude. Maybe you should take some time off the internet, come back, read how racist you sound in this thread, and then take some more time off, because you clearly are having issues.
