I sure as fuck don't get it and I read the lead up to the post in BCT.  Someone linked it here.  I read it twice, I don't get it, us half natives don't face this issue.  I'm gonna be respectful and not post in that thread at all.

Also, I don't know what to post to blow that shit wide open.  It's times like this I wish I knew more about the disconnect between black, blackx, latinx, and latins.  Probably for the best.

Why is it that the same people that include mixed latinos as PoC are always so ready to accuse them of being white when it is convenient for them? The solidarity doesn't last when you need to throw them under the bus?

While I do make it a point to incorporate "Latinx" into my everyday vocabulary, I was taught the word by young latinx activists/academics I know, and that's who I predominantly see using it.

Oh, makes sense

Gina says that they took a photo with the women that decided to show up for the event of all the women that had been invited.

People are mad at her having the gall to still have the picture taken of the latina women that showed up?

This is dumboutrage.

"I'm curious - and please I don't mean to derail but it seems like this sentiment is a part of the issue(s) people have with Gina - but as a white man, I don't fully understand the mechanism by which minorities are judged to be light/dark-skinned. When does a Latinx person become "dark-skinned" and a black person become "light-skinned"? How are these determinations made?"

No one in that thread is going to respond to this are they?

Bingo. And really they're well within their rights to call it out because if there's anything the BCT are known for, it's their support of all minorities in their fight against marginalisation.

Like the saying goes, everyone wants to be a nibba, latinx, woman, asian, gay, lesbian, trans, disabled person, but nobody wants to be a nibba, lantinx, woman, asian, gay, lesbian, trans, disabled person.

haha, that thread is like watching an abscess being pushed out of the body.

Actual south and central american people people trying to push the word out while USA activists want to keep it in. 

I don't need to visit "draining giant cyst" to get my rocks off tonight.  I can just read that thread.

Disney should pull all their shit from off HBO until this prick resigns.

Because all this world is missing is corporations leveraging their power disproportionately out of pettiness against a short editorial by a comedian.

(You'd think there's a contract preventing those sort of things too...)

[counterhit]

Interesting how many rush to defend another white celebrity helping out fellow whites with abhorrent views. First it was Jamie Lee Curtis with those Covington shitheads and now Patton Oswalt with this? WTF is happening in this world?

I think Swab is the next Alimnassor.  I guess we'll find out in a year when the mods finally catch on and realize he's fucking with them.

 

Wait, did they finally nab Alimnassor?

I mean with all do respect pop culture can be both.
Black Panther explores the effects of colonialism, American racism, etc...

And Iron Man "explores" arms dealing, alcoholism, pacemaker manufacture issues, etc...
So many themes I can't list them all !

The best part of ree will always be that they get their opinions and politics mostly from if not exclusively from comic book movies.

[Transhuman]

Personally the reason I despise the "comic book movie culture" is because everywhere I turn i'm bombarded with it's advertisements, actor interviews, twitter speculation, clickbait articles, memes...

For me at least, constantly being bombarded with this promotional material is mentally exhausting, and then on top of that to have people saying that Black Panther and Infinity War are deserving of artistic acclaim? No... just no.

[Nintex]

"Adults": Hur derp Comic books, games and movies are stupid

Also "Adults" : Boohooo this green cartoon frog is a Nazi and lost us the election

 


The buzzfeed firings are another fun example of this. Their shitty staff who got fired because they only wrote shit clickbait no one read about is being bombarded with: "Can't you code?" memes.
Which of course is GAMERGATE, NAZI, ALT RIGHT

Also LatinX isn't the first draft. We had Latin@ prior.

There’s a joke about Web 3.0 somewhere in here, but I don’t have enough wit to make it.

Latin@ has to be the dumbest shit I have ever heard. Why are they so bad at this?

[Jansen]

https://www.resetera.com/threads/why-is-it-latin-folk-are-uncomfortable-or-dont-want-to-talk-about-race.95854/

This "latinx" thing is pretty silly. And in Brazil people try to force it for every gendered word, which is very common in Portuguese.

Probably because they don't want to be told that the issues they face aren't as bad as they could be.

The problem is that they misphrased the question; its actually "why is the US obsessed with 'race' (and by race I mean skin colour)?"

And we all know the reason; its because it was founded on slavery, which is a huge injustice that can never be fairly addressed.
And the important part of that statement is that can never be fairly addressed.

At some point to grow you have to acknowledge that, move on and forget about it, or be stuck forever in a loop or blame, recrimination and anger.
Racism - and other prejudice - in other countries exists and is a problem, but it isn't solely based on skin colour, and it would be ultimately harmful to any societal growth to pretend that it is.

Furthermore, latin@ and Latinx is stupid and NO ONE in actual Latino countries uses that in real life.

That's a pretty angry reaction to a sincere attempt to find a gender neutral, non masculine dominant, term.

Is mostly because Latinos have a different conception of race than the US. There is a ton of racial issues in Latino America but there is fundamental differences with the US.

better start forking over money to people calling you racial slurs it's the new wave i guess

For anyone interested I'll insult and harass you in exchange for monetary compensation. I take pay pal, bitcoin, and checks as well. If you pledge to a high enough tier of my patreon I'll even doxx you!

America proves again that all that matters is the attention you get. Good or bad? Doesn't matter, just get people looking at you for success.



Dude's nearing 45k now.

Meanwhile, there's a topic about an teenager who's donating his lifetime supply of peanut butter to government workers who AREN'T ASSHOLES and the "nice warriors" aren't posting in that topic.



Hmmm, it's so weird. Why is it that the topic about someone donating something they love (and from the sound of it kind of addicted to it) to people who aren't assholes don't get spammed by the "nice warriors" but they're going to bat and want everyone to sympathize with a bigoted asshole who hasn't cut off gofundme yet?



HMMMMMMMM. It's so weird. It's almost as the "nice warriors" are not actually nice but "nice" and want us to sympathize with other "nice" people.
