The Chinese would benifit from a worse US, the “south african” is actually an American, in the same way African American citizens aren’t African, they’re Americans from Africa. As a side note it is funny but also depressing to see how legitimately racist leftists are so long as it doesn’t exactly match a very specific arrangement.
TikTok is brain rot
TikTok has an arguably wider reach than X
TikTok’s target demographic is more susceptible to manipulation
Disagree. I wouldn’t refer to a black owned business as being African, if the owner was born in Africa, and is a US citizen. If the business was based in Africa I would, if the owner was not American, I might.
African-American usually refers to descendants of America’s black slave trade. They are not Africans who moved to America. We don’t call dutch born American emigrants Dutch-American. We call them Dutch. We don’t call Chinese born American emigrants Chinese-American. We call them Chinese. Their nationality or continental heritage is usually how they are referred to. Calling Musk an African-American is by a long way, more racist than calling him unamerican.
The only thing you’re fighting for here is being correctly bigoted.
It’s basically irrelevant that the owner of a company like X is an American from South Africa. If you took this same criticism and applied it anywhere else it would be immediately refuted and invalidated as simple bigotry.
There is an obvious difference between TikTok and X and if you’re trying to compare them like this and just use “south african owned” to connect it to “chinese” you’re being disingenuous, even stupid, and really I can only assume you’re being this dumb intentionally.
Breathtaking. However did you say that with a straight face?
Yes. Do you have anything of substance to contribute?
I think 2,3, and 4 are correct but…
African-Americans aren’t personally from Africa, but Elon Musk was literally born in Africa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk

I mean you can think what you want but there is an objectively correct definition:

You must really love the taste of Elon’s dick in your mouth…
