  • Why the fuck would anything you’re saying be meaningful or productive in an argument about something I said?

    You know what? I give up.

    I understand the historical event you are referencing, and I understand that, in some places in the world, Irish immigrants weren’t part of the “true white” race until they became racist towards folks without white skin and became police. What I don’t understand is what that has to do with anything we’re talking about. That doesn’t make “white” any less of a race, that just means that white people in the past were extra racist, being racist against people from a different geological location, not just being racist by the color of their skin.

    Just being obstinate.

    This is both true and false. By all accepted definitions of race that I could find, white counts as a race.

    “NU UH!!!”

    Wow what an academic

    Never seen someone just bullshit before while using quotation formatting. You’re putting on a clinic of being a slimy dishonest asshole

    Race is just a collection of people sharing similar attributes

    Oh! Okay! So once you deliberately strip race of all cultural and material context white can be declared a race ‘because they look the same’

    Well if you’re willing to just compartmentalize literally everything until your premise is affirmed then you can tell yourself anything, can’t you?

    You’ve chosen a definition of race that’s completely useless for everything except one task: to be able to claim victimhood for the privileged class

    Irish stopped being a race when they were accepted into whiteness by becoming police in large number This one threw me for a loop, as I’m not really sure what you mean by this.

    HOW FUCKING STUPID DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO LECTURE SOMEONE WHEN YOU OPENLY ADMIT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT’S GOING ON

    REALLY FUCKING STUPID

    Bet you’re white. “My feelings are more important than your facts and I’m elevated from you enough to speak without even knowing them” is extremely white coded

    When a parent tells a child ‘the way it works’ is that you only get to choose whether you want to brush your teeth before or after the last cartoon…

    It’s only ‘the way it works’ in the context of the parent being in charge and deciding what they want to do unilaterally. It’s not actually how the world works.
