That’s certainly the inspiration, but it’s not particularly good or insightful. It’s really just trying to use a bleak made up stereotype to say something others have said without it. It should add to the conversation, but I don’t think this does that. It doesn’t give me any insight I didn’t already possess, and at best it perpetuates an idea that is wrong, if not outright racist.
Just because you aren’t offended by it and don’t care doesn’t mean critique isn’t valid.
How childish. I’m a white man in the US. It doesn’t offend me. I can understand how it can be offensive though. My critique isn’t valid because I’m offended or not, it’s because I used reasoning. Reasoning is valid, not your feelings about it.
What do you think it added to the conversation? Do you not think perpetuating negative tropes is something that should be avoided?
What do you think being offended means, dude? Because this person you’re replying to is not offended. You ignoring the content of the comments and just hammering on really sounds like you’re offended, though. Because that’s what being offended sounds like.
Nah man. You’re reading a lot into this. I was adding to the other comment asking what it adds? Does it add anything? Can you actually construct a reason?
I know it’s easier to insult people and pretend like they’re the ones who are being ridiculous rather than doing the hard work of thinking, but it’s childish.
