minus-squarequindraco@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-22 年前What would possess you to think south Asian and black are mutually exclusive? Are you seriously suggesting Vivek would have had civil rights in Georgia in 1846? Are you seriously suggesting modern Iowans care what country your brown skin came from?
minus-squaresnuffmyrooster@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up22·2 年前That’s right. Double down on your stupidity.
minus-squareEncode1307@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 年前Brown. Black means someone of African/African American origin
minus-squarequindraco@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 年前No it doesn’t. E.g. Elon Musk is of African origin, and there are many black people of European origin. Black means someone with dark brown skin.
minus-squareEncode1307@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 年前You’re really determined to keep doubling down instead of just admitting you’re wrong, aren’t you? BTW Elon is of Dutch/English origin. Not African.
minus-squarequindraco@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-22 年前Elon Musk was born in South Africa. All modern humans are ultimately of African origin. Any other “origin” choice for Elon is an arbitrary social construct without biological meaning. You’re really determined to be wrong yourself, but enjoy your racism, I guess.

minus-squarequindraco@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 年前You may have lost the thread; I’m accusing Vivek of hypocrisy over Juneteenth and you’re defending him, remember?
minus-squarefunkpandemic@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 年前Nobody is defending this man in this thread, you need to touch grass bro.

They’re suggesting that he’s not black
That’s right. Double down on your stupidity.
No, I’m suggesting he isn’t black.
And what color does his skin appear to you?
Brown.
Black means someone of African/African American origin
No it doesn’t. E.g. Elon Musk is of African origin, and there are many black people of European origin. Black means someone with dark brown skin.
