lololol someone just called me (and apparently everyone on QOTO) a racist for saying our instance's policy is to treat all races and nationality by the exact same standard... I must have slept a lot longer than I realized because when I went to sleep the definition of racism was WAY different."
Apparently this is what he posted as "proof" that me and QOTO are racist fascists. You seriously can't make this shit up. No one has ever even reported a single one of our members for racism.
@freemo I’ve been doing some research and it’s actually not OK to be white.
@Jurassicnps haha, good to know
@freemo it’s not a joke
@Jurassicnps The irony is that if your serious then that makes it MORE of a joke, not less of one.
But on a serious note telling someone it is not ok for being born a certain way, particularly of a certain race, will not be tolerated around here.
@freemo race is a social construct, not a biological one.
@Jurassicnps Well there is certainly some truth to that. But those social constructs give us our heritage and culture. So even if it is social constructed it doesnt make the heritage any less important.
@freemo knowing your “heritage” is a privilege that is denied to billions because of oppression, exploitation and genocide... Much of which was caused either directly or indirectly by white supremacy. White supremacy has decimated cultures and peoples on every continent on earth, and not knowing its history or propaganda techniques is incredibly dangerous. The dangers of white supremacy should be examined with the weight if its historical cost to humanity.
@Jurassicnps @freemo You can have czech heritage, irish heritage, french heritage, german heritage, italitan, spanish, norwegian, etc. Nobody has White heritage. All "white" means is that you've been assimilated into the shapeless blob that constitutes the top of our twisted, racial caste system
The same could go on for your example. It could be said "there is no Italian heritage, but Napolitan heritage, Roman heritage, Sicilian heritage". I guess when talking about "white heritage" you can broadly refer to those populations who had/have white skin and in the past few millennia have inhabited mostly Europe. It is a big grouping together, maybe useless, not sure that it would be incorrect though
@arteteco @EndlessWario @Jurassicnps The term used to refer to whites in a historic context would be "Anglo saxon"
Oh, I thought germanic tribes and vikings would have counted white too, for example.
But I'm a bit out of my depths on this phylogenetic matter
@arteteco @EndlessWario @Jurassicnps Would they be considered Anglo-saxons too?
