it’s staggering how so many whites are out here looking for socially acceptable racism substitutes. millenial weirdos are doing racism for cats (r/oneorangebraincell, voidcats), dorks are doing fantasy racism with droids and elves, and some white guys here are still doing weird bits about Italians, Balkans, etc.
The cat thing pisses me off so much. I am unable to express how much I hate that some redditor will come up with a dumb joke like “all orange cats are goofy” and then it becomes an embedded, undeniable facet of reality for a staggering number of people when the joke explodes into a subreddit. Like, it’s not a joke for those people now. All orange cats are dumb and/or goofy or whatever. And this happens with so, so many things. Obviously this is a pretty innocuous manifestation of this phenomenon, but it’s the same mechanism of human thinking that leads to all manner of horrific, imagined interpretations of reality.
A while back I pointed out how stereotypes about pitbulls were a way for people to sneak eugenics and race science back into the public consciousness and some motherfuckers mocked me and said I was comparing non-white people to animals…
Another example of this is the “if you wear sunglasses indoors you’re either a blind or an asshole” joke, which I see more and more. I have light-sensitive eyes, I wear sunglasses indoors in really bright places like certain supermarkets because it helps prevent discomfort. But thanks to this dumb meme, I know there’s people who will look at me, think of the meme, and label me as an asshole for it.
Depending on the person I do wonder if they are hiding their dilated pupils and just high as fuck but you know what? Good for them if they ain’t hurting anyone. Roll on soldier.
I’ve encountered this in real life with my dog. Tell an older guy “her name is Mia” and he’ll start going on about how he could never own a female dog, like what?
They’re always out there looking for an excuse to be hateful or coming up with ‘cutesy’ racist terms, food based ones are really common, any time a minority’s not treated as a dead slave that’s oppression to them and their little crumb, and while they Malkov chain microaggressions to hide the true colonial primitive capital accumulative root, said root is there even though they may or may not be aware of what they’re doing. Fuckers never stopped being racist, its just a little more hidden and ‘whimsical’.
I’m convinced that’s the reason a bunch of 40k fans are the way they are, especially Imperium fans. They get way too into the “persecute the xenos, mutant, and heretics” aspect of roleplay. Black Templar and Death Korps fans are the worst offenders (Deus Vult guys & Nazis respectively), not every single one is a chud but when someone says those are their favorites I get my ready.
I’ll just note I still do the Italian thing as an American in AmeriKKKa because Italian-Americans and chuds continue to fight for Columbus day. The day that Columbus Day is officially disavowed by that community is the day that I’ll quit doing the Mario voice in contempt. Until then, they’re the one group (and again, Italian Americans, not actual Italians) that it’s perfectly acceptable to be racist against. The day they disavow their genocidal guy will be the day I will refer to the meatball as spicy.
To make my thinking totally clear: you wanna venerate a genocidal freak, you don’t get the protections of anti-racism other groups are afforded. Instead, bullying.
someone should remind the cops that they’re not exempt from being made fun of either.

It’s still a great post and I put a lot of effort into providing sources and historical context. Pit Bulls, the Proletariat, and Racism. An effort post about a working class icon.
People are going to flip when they find out all humans are animals
Thank you for educating me comrade

I’m in the same boat but I just suffer because I’m afraid of looking weird
I remember in a tiktok trend they started doing misogyny with female cats
