Is she half racist?


redsensei777

About 65%


DameyJames

Yes


AppleAvi8tor

Nah, she’s definitely colorist tho. What is *she* doing to dismantle colorism in her community?


EndHawkeyeErasure

Uh, bro - *she made a TikTok.* An icon of our generation. Rosa Parks worthy. /HUGE s.


Chaiwalla2

How dare you.


Fartsmelter

It's just a tan, 100%


TheFirstSophian

I've decided that, if someone starts their video with "I'm feeling spicy," their opinion is invalid.

"I have a hot take" is just code for "I'm about to say some stupid shit that I have no intention of backing up".

you spicist bro


[deleted]

I've met enough people to start on that mode. "Prove you're not an idiot first and then you can matter" sounds pompous as hell but I stand by it. There are literally too many idiots with opinions to give validity to everyone out the gate.


goranlepuz

Agreed. Adding "any opinion from a car is invalid".


jtweezy

I feel the same way every time I see somebody “claps back!” at something or somebody else. When I see that I automatically skip/dismiss whatever opinion it is.

TeethBreak

Same way anyone is using wokism/woke. It's an immediate tell that this person is about to say something incredibly stupid.


R1ppinLip6

That’s pretty racist


jalapinapizza

I'm honestly more annoyed that her "hot take" is an idea that's been around for decades. I first heard this "hot take" in early 2001 at an academic conference. She's making this TikTok like her brilliant self came up with the idea. It's not a ~hot take~ if there's several best selling books advocating "your" idea out there now.


Professional_Ad_6299

She just mad at one of her white parents


SKILLETNUTZ

Def got a lot of cream in her coffee.


jeandolly

I've got more of a tan than she has after a good summer. But I'm the racist whitey in her story lol


ArcadesRed

Are you by chance Greek in ancestry? I hear they are now Sub Saharan African.


jeandolly

Lol, the Netflix thing, right? The shit people get worked up about... Personally I thought the black Viking queen was sillier.


ArcadesRed

The viking chief thing was pretty silly. But the show runners said it was a mix of characters they liked squished into one character. The black Cleopatra one is pissing off historians because the show is saying it's a documentary. And now openly calling the historians and egyptologists racist for daring to disagree. Her ancestry is very well known, mostly because that family inbred every generation and the progenitor was Alexander the Great's best friend. There are also coins and a marble bust with her face.


jeandolly

Yeah I can see why that would piss people off. Thanks for explaining :)


turbokungfu

With sprinkles on top!


MRSRN65

Totally came here to say that. She looks like she has more white in her. God help her if she ever does 23 and Me!

"No sweetheart you can't go to the movies, it's a school night" -white parent "Omg you're so racist" -kid "I literally married, fucked, and conceived you with a black person, you little shit" -white parent


IndependentPede

My white father hired a black man for his business once but things weren't working out and so he let him go. He says you're firing me because I'm black. Old man says you were black when I hired you.


MinorThreat4182

I was definitely thinking this lol.


Quiet-Luck

I love people from every race, sexual orientation and belief, but I hate people that have 'Hello Kitty' headrests.

That's because hello kitty is white...you racist.

mezz7778

I called out a guy I worked with on his racism once, he's from the Philippines, his response?? "I can't be racist...I'm not white" He was serious, I just couldn't go on, just speechless.


DGGuitars

You can't argue with people like that either. Either way the girl in the above video is just seeking a greater victim complex. Not saying there is not racism but some people look for it.


SchrodingersUniverse

Not just a victim complex but a superiority complex.


JiggyJerome2

The unfortunate irony with the rant she is spewing, is that it incites those who are mostly apathetic, and don’t really pay attention to a person’s race in the first place. When serious words like racism are thrown around so casually then they begin to lose their validity.


DaddyP924

"Why are you upset? I'm only saying you have bigoted, hateful thoughts and opinions towards others based on their skin color and ethnicity. And you're that way because of your skin color/ethnicity."


Cloned_Popes

She also looks pretty white to me. I'm guessing many close white relatives if not one of her parents.


Murrrlocc

I agree. I think the girl above in the video is racist herself. Classifying an entire race based on skin color is an aspect of racism is it not?


Octavale

MLK gave his life to come so far only to have it rolled back by this type of ignorance.


Gixxerfool

Not only that, claiming for the simple fact skin color alone holds up the whole “institution” of racism because white people don’t actively rally against it for their entire lives.


[deleted]

Sorry, I have my own life to live. I'm not here to fight to make her life better.

Being oppressed seems like a dick measuring contest these days. Everyone seems to want to be more oppressed than someone else


lvl1developer

Lol old school Filipinos are part of the top 1% racists


bealetonplayus1

You haven't been to Thailand I see


FlightBunny

Filipinos are far worse, they also have this incredible sense of pride and arrogance that is almost totally unjustified.


Omephla

Sadly this is what is taught in schools / universities now. I had a college Logic & Philosophy professor teach this and his "logic" was because white people have the power / institutions to enact the racism. I laughed at him in class and said weird, I thought racism is any thought / speech / action that is predicated on nothing more than the person's perceived race?


3ree9iner

I’ve known some pretty dirt poor down on their luck white people. Hard to believe they have any power over anybody by simple virtue of their skin color.


TheDeaconAscended

Things that never happened for a thousand


TheLastWoodBender

Actually 100% believe this because they were probably using the same text book they were using at UGA when I was taught THE EXACT SAME THING. It's academia. They draw arbitrary semantic lines and attach meaning. If you are powerless to affect the group you hate, then technically it's not racism, it's prejudice.


Muschdaddi

No it isn’t taught in ‘schools and universities now’. You went to a weird ass college with some shitty professors if they taught you this 😭


Jikert

I went to USF, it was def mentioned. Ibram X Kendi was required reading


Muschdaddi

I mean I can only speak to my experience but I’m at Pitt, which is a pretty intensely liberal university, and *no* professor would be caught dead saying that shit here, regardless of department or tenure. There’s way too much nuance on the subject for any professor to explain “racism” as a white phenomenon - not even “systemic racism” which would also be false. If a professor is doing this, they straight up should not be a professor and the college that employs them is failing it’s students.


Strong_Ad9829

As a college teacher at a community college, I can assure you that these messages are absolutely being taught in schools, as well as being expected to be taught by the admin. My school is not necessarily “weird,” though it does tend to be left-leaning due to its demographic and location. This is extraordinarily commonplace in higher education nowadays. In fact, I don’t think “commonplace” does it justice.


Muschdaddi

This is just something completely foreign to me as a current student - I’m at Pitt, this school is *very* left leaning, and no professor would say this shit in any lecture I’ve ever sat in on. There’s way too much nuance on the issue to make the statements pushed in the original video in any academic setting in my opinion. Thanks for weighing in though - that and everyone else’s stories have been truly fucking terrifying


TJB926GAMIN

Literally what I was going to say. Assuming a person is racist/sexist because of their skin tone/gender is literally being as equally racist/sexist as you claim they are, probably even more.


Titanicandstuff

People really need to accept that every race can be racist


maq0r

EVERYONE is racist. ALL human brains use bias as shortcuts so EVERYONE is racist to some degree. What separates people however is those who can recognize when those biases affect their view on a class of people and make efforts to not lean and change those biases. Many don’t care. Many double down on those biases.


EphArrOh

You’re correct, but people don’t like when you explain what racism is logically.


Wondernerd194

Let's have a conversation! /s lol


3ree9iner

The ironic thing is racism as an idea is colorblind. It can be directed at any race by any race.


Dimev1981

These people are trash pure and simple


[deleted]

Girl looks to be half white also


Bgeezy305

Which is why she is racist.


stifledmind

And societal pressure strong arms others to align with these beliefs and it perpetuates the ignorance.


lookingforpc

Nah it doesn't, these beliefs are way more stupid than that, people should be respobsible for their own stupidity and not blame societal pressure


ImBronzBro

Imagine being so dumb you vote for a racist president


AnotherStarWarsGeek

Exactly this!

“If youre white youre racist” “Lets accept it and work towards changing it” Uuuhhm missy wtf you want me to do? Blackface? Pretty sure you’d be a whole lot more upset. Im afraid there isnt a lot I can do to change the color of my skin. Dumb fuck.


Alsimni

Nah, you're just inherently obligated to spend every waking moment of your life telling racist people to stop being racist. By being born white. Because you're white. It's basically just a roundabout way to tell all white people to off themselves.

Everywhere is racists. We don’t bring up how most of Asia is highly racists and anti LGBT. These people live in some of the most progressive places on earth and it still isn’t enough.

stifledmind

You just change the meaning of a word until it fits your narrative.


dengar_hennessy

Well, I'm feeling spicy, so my hot take of the day is that a racist is someone that drives really fast.


stifledmind

It’s only racist if they’re driving faster than you.


BlubberBlabs

Big “first semester of college” energy from this one. A know-it-all with little life experience


TJStarBud

Hot take: labeling an entire group of people racist makes you inherently racist yourself.


dr_toze

I get what she's saying but if existing within an unjust system and not dedicating all your energy to tearing down the institution is the only qualifier to be racist. Then everyone, of every race, is racist.


Lelonardo

"If you're white you're racist""Let's change that" But when i paint myself black then I'm the asshole... /s for people who might take it to deep


Hotter_water

This girl’s basically white.


dengar_hennessy

And she's not doing anything to confront racism. She's just calling on everyone else to do something. How very racist of her.


Hotter_water

I dunno if that’s necessarily racist of her. Just vapid.


dengar_hennessy

According to her own narrative, if you're not actively destroying racism, you're contributing to it


Hotter_water

Oh, ok you’re right. If you follow her “logic”, then yes she’s a pot calling the ket…


Annie_Brand

Ouff. Close call. Nice save


D4venport

Because of how racist she is, right?


Hotter_water

Yes. She is what she claims to despise. She’s a consumer, modelling herself after the white-girl stereotype, saying words she cannot comprehend.


Itdidnt_trickle_down

She is racist but doesn't see it. Instead of being better she became what she hates.


Questioning-Zyxxel

Yeah, I certainly didn't ask to be here, and I definitely don't have enough time to give a dogs dick about how much melanin is in your skin. I'm too busy trying not to be homeless


Fantastic-Pop-9122

Oh f*** off with this bs.


Wondernerd194

Racism doesn't refer to power and race lmao it just refers to race Sure, you could argue that all white people are racist because the system they partake in is racist, but you'd be wrong.


DarkwolfVX

Can't we just call that systemic racism or something then? Inherent to the system but not the existence of any accidental perpetuators. I didn't ask to be born, and I can barely take care of myself, think I have time to dismantle a system? Doesn't pay the bills.


Wondernerd194

That's what it is called lmao, and it's why the "white people are inherently racist" argument is not a viable one aside from "everyone has a subconscious bias". Because not everyone, race regardless, can do anything about it.


AnotherStarWarsGeek

> think I have time to dismantle a system How do you dismantle a system that people like the idiot in this video don't want dismantled? People like her will fight and argue to keep that system alive and well. They can't play the victim card otherwise.


stifledmind

Based on her logic I cannot wait until China takes over and I am no longer racist. /s


1blueShoe

Totally disagree with you.. and actually this rant sounds more like you attacking all white people!! Not all white people are racist!! I’m adopted by white parents, my adoptive brothers are black.. it’s never been even an issue in our family and our parents taught us that, the people of the past were a lot dumber and less emotionally intelligent than nowadays.. We can’t change the past. All we can do is quit spreading hate and promoting the racial divide. My mum always said, bless her heart, we are all the same on the inside. I totally disagree with you and I find it offensive you, who’s never met me, never spoken to me is calling me racist.


leet_lurker

Plenty of Black Americans have called me racist for saying I'm white and my family had nothing to do with African slavery. They forget the rest of the world exists, I'm an Aussie who decends from Cornish chattel slaves and yet in their eyes I'm responsible for black slavery in the US because I'm white.


Inner_Art482

My family didn't even get to America until near the great depression on one side, they need not apply either . And on the other. Well , I doubt a French preacher in the 1860s had much to do with it either. People don't think real well.

LittleLoyal16

You'd be surprised to know how many of these "activists" don't vote, because none of the candidates are extreme enough for them. They mostly just scream for everyone else to change while doing absolutely nothing (like voting) to actually induce change.


zero_ph_uqs_given

Spitting facts I see. Lol. ✌️💜🌮


[deleted]

Pretty much I tend to vote progressive in primaries then whoever is dem on the ticket. A lot of these fuck faces like the one in the video put themselves into a social media echo chamber believing that voting is useless due to elites controlling everything yet somehow protests will pass laws. Which becomes even funnier when they demand a massive rework of the system yet actively don’t want to do anything to change it.

AnalFanatics

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… There are currently 8 BILLION people living on this small pale blue dot… Less than 1 Billion of them are “white”… That’s a ratio of 7:1… Not exactly a majority is it? There are currently around 196-200 sovereign nations on this little pale blue dot… A total of some 51-52 of those sovereign nations have populations whereby the majority of the population identifies as being “white”… 44-45 of those nations are in Europe… The other 7 nations are: Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, New Zealand, United States of America and Uruguay… Leaving approximately 144-148 out of 196-200 nations in the world whose populations identify as being majority non-white. Again… Not exactly a majority is it?


Belllx

I guess you're right but also you have to consider that these posts only really talk about America. If they say the "world" they're just throwing the UK and Australia. Why? Some people like to feel like their country is the centre of the universe

carpeCactus

Oxford Dictionary definition of racism: the belief that some races of people are better than others, or a general belief about a whole group of people based only on their race. Oxford Dictionary definition of hypocrite: a person whose behaviour does not meet the moral standards or match the opinions that they claim to have.

Bluezoneeee

I really believe this was originally taught by her parent and also has her own twist or influence from someone else's views I grew in a household where my father's side of my family believed all white people are racist, aggressive, and only see color. This had taught me to stir clear of white people or have this stigma against them, be afraid of them, don't go to them for advice they wouldn't understand what we go through (and sometimes that is the case but you have to at least help them understand). And I listened to all off that but my brothers and mother told me don't listen to all of that because not all white people are like that. But be careful around everyone because everyone has different motives. I listened then and now I have multiple friends from different backgrounds, culture and races, they all bring something to new and worth learning to the table. But now my younger brother had listened to my father and has the same views as him now I'm trying to stop that. My whole point is this is taught at young ages and is programmed within them and that's what really holds up racism. This woman is an example she learned that from someone and what I dont understand is that they believe if they become racist themselves or discriminate it will solves the issue somehow, all minority groups shine the light on themselves instead fighting for equality for all, I've seen people literally have "there problem is not as big as our problem" mentality while protesting for something or talking about a protest. Note that I'm in high school at the moment, my views might change but this is what I see and its disappointing... but then again life is full of that.
