Need that shirt.

The girl is both my sister's and the guy is both my brother in laws. They married losers

What about you? Is it 2/3 or 3/3? If you're hetero that is, and in a couple. Otherwise disregard this question or answer untruthfully.

Spoiler: She is also racist, but in a more subtle way.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

When I was a manager at a tech company this pattern female white woman was about 50% of our entry-level team. Every single day was a new journey into essential oils, herbalife, astrological signs and dreamcatchers. Their racism is there, it is subtle, but it's also entirely a product of trying to appease the angry people in their lives.

These women are dim enough to be led to ANY way of thought. And I say this with kindness, they are often good parents and have sympathetic lives and want simple things. But holy shit their families and husbands and partners are literally demons in human flesh influencing them to the worst ways of thinking and feeling, I've gotten to witness them in the background on zoom being violent pigs and screaming at their infant children loud enough to pick up on the mic through a closed door.

The one thing that you don't see that is shockingly common though is the physical abuse. As funny as this cartoon is, it doesn't show the finger-shaped bruises up and down the woman's arms.

Ppl pretend like women can be racist. Nah, they're worse they're just better at hiding it.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Him being a part of every third heterosexual couple must mean he has a lot of fem presenting partners. I'm sceptical of all of them being of an ethnicity he approves of...

[–] bpev@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

My only thing I know about Salon is that at one point, they had a piece about how depressing it was to live in a hacker house, and I was like "wait. I lived in this exact apartment". I remembered the Pinterest guy who lived in the closet. That was slightly surreal.

When her friends confront her: ”But he’s never racist to me or my family”

Honestly I've met such a person.

Text should read "every third American couple". I dont think this applies anywhere else and has anything to do with sexuality...

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

speaking as a lesbian: I am not and have never dated the most racist man alive. QED.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As a straight man, neither have i

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

... maybe you should talk to some minorities from other countries. I mean people who are minorities within their own country.

Only Americans can be racist?

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We don't even come close to the racism in places like Europe, either.

[–] Carrot@lemmy.today 2 points 20 hours ago

Eh, I've traveled a lot, and while people in places like the US west/east coasts tend to be a lot less racist, the entire middle/south of the US are just as racist as most places in Europe and Asia. Growing up, I was sold the narrative that European countries had little to no racism, and the US is the problem. But racism is everywhere, and not just the mild racism that the US coasts get, but like, openly telling a stranger to watch out for because they are going about ruining <neighborhood/city/country/etc.> I will say that anecdotally, the US west coast is the least blatantly racist, but you can see systemic racism literally everywhere.

Eh, I'm all for equality. Women can be racist too!

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 41 points 2 days ago

Yeah, that's probably why Trump keeps winning the white woman vote in spite of everything he's ever said or done to or about women..

Ok but why not use the original and not the jpeged to fuck version?

Pixels? In this economy?

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 27 points 2 days ago (10 children)

Casting aspersions much? The vast majority of couples I know are hetero, and not one person is like either of these caricatures. Let's not pretend sexual preference has anything to do with these stereotypes. It's more likely to be the culture or social system you are familiar with.

This means YOU are the third couple of course /j

Are you claiming to know a representative set of Americans, and 1/3 of that representative set is not racist?

I think you're suffering from selection bias..

It's even worse when it's a mixed race couple!

So... are you the most racist man alive?

You didn't get the Salon article?
