What % of couple in the USA are inter-racial, so that we can know whether they are over or under represented?

[SergZHy67]

What the **** is a POC?


Ah... I see, 'Person of Color'

This person who wrote it sounds like a white person.

[dosyrotsbop]

Okay I can't make it through all of #1. This **** blows.

[g4YthYXx]

This racist expert person whines a lot.

[BodeOmissemia]

I'm sure I could think of 10 conversations that I wouldn't like to have with people who refer to themselves as a POC.

Noone noticed the epic fail right in the first point? He complains about being lectured, but wants people to go out and lecture others about stuff??? Who is he to assume other people aren't clever enough to figure the racism-is-stoopid-part themselves? Hippocrate

It's fairly common in Asia.

It's fairly common in Asia.

Not white people, right?

Holding a grudge against pretty much everyone is bad, mmmkay?

20 years ago when I was very young I took a job working on a crab boat in Alaska. One of my co-workers was a white guy who had a vaguely Asian look, just by random genetic chance. Some of the other guys on board nicknamed him "Chino." (Slang for Chinaman, I guess.) Anyway this guy was a Vietnam vet and ranted about the nickname because he hated the Vietnamese people (and all Asians, by extension.) That's my own anecdotal example and it is a generation old, which means you could argue old racists like him have mellowed or died off. But that's my actual first-hand experience.

That's like 8 posts better than my record

Here's a link to a video that has a similar theme. I hate video links but you might prefer the format. It takes her a while to get started with the list and it's a 10 minute commitment to finish it:

This thread is really going downhill now.

Here, to bring it back:

I approve of that comic. OP had me thinking, "wow, black people sure do whine a lot." But then I felt ashamed and hit myself--which makes it okay, as far as can I understand these things.

I don't believe a Black person would call themselves a POC. I'm not seeing it. Not abbreviated like that. Only white people do that. serious.

I propose we establish an embassy with this site to further our understanding of this issue. Preferably a three-person team consisting of Hera, Al, and a rotating third person. Kitty gets it the first month as a clear representative of white privilege.

I've never been able to figure out what white privilege is. Most of the statistical features used to illustrate white privilege are simple markers of socioeconomic status, while the concrete examples of it are long-gone instances of officially-sanctioned racial discrimination.

I don't think white privilege explains KH's success. I think he cheats, lies, kisses ass etc....

[gopsbousperie]

Why is that ironic? The attitudes he whines about basically consist of "saying anything he disagrees with".

Listing common attacks on his position does not invalidate these attacks.

[JohnMitchel]

you, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. have you ever considered joining the dipolmatic corp?

Sadly, they don't let in the aspies. I posted a long article on wrongplanet about "Five excuses I'm sick of hearing from the diplomatic corps, and also some stuff about trains," but for some reason it didn't improve our position.

[Shemker394]

Listing common attacks on his position does not invalidate these attacks.

They mostly aren't attacks on his position he's listing.
