Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

  1. Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works is recommended.

Hot take: non-white people are often racist

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 13 points 5 days ago (2 children)

"Often" is a bit too generalising for me. Non-white people can be racist, that's true, just as white people can. Any race has good and bad people.

Originally I wrote "can" but that sounded like it was giving permission to be racist. Nobody should be classifying individuals based on their race. Bigotry is always bad - just because you're in the minority doesn't excuse you from the standards we set for everyone.

Ah, the ol' can/may conundrum. Every English teacher's favourite

All people are racist. The westerners just got good at hiding it.
