everyone on the internet is the same race, and that race is 'asshole'

i feel like its usually better to err on the side of not telling people that their feelings are wrong, generally
― max, Friday, 24 February 2012 15:38 (twelve years ago) link
also its good practice not to say things that can reformulated as "isnt it you who is the real racist"
― max, Friday, 24 February 2012 15:39 (twelve years ago) link
Right. Like, would it have been OK if you were certain it was "just us white guys" talking?
lol I thought frogbs was banned

ideally you wouldn't tell people that what they're telling people is wrong. but since that's not the case, I can say this!
― DNRIYHM NATION 1814 (some dude), Friday, 24 February 2012 15:40 (twelve years ago) link
so wait, is telling people that telling people that they are telling people that what they feeling is wrong, wrong? I'm trying to make a chart
― robbery by sudden snatching (DJP), Friday, 24 February 2012 15:42 (twelve years ago) link
well there are exceptions, for example if you feel that dayo is the real racist, your feeling is wrong

didn't we already have a huge discussion about how things can be racist even if the person doing those things is not Hitler

does contenderizer even think hitler is racist tho

― DNRIYHM NATION 1814 (some dude), Friday, 24 February 2012 15:48 (twelve years ago) link
that was buzza! in any case if it wasn't clear before, I'm really sorry for attempting to defend ghettohikes and I'm sorry!

newsreader thing seems like a guy saying a sports phrase, but saying that i really don't think dyao is a racist for believing otherwise and hope the court rules against contenderizer here, who is also prob not racist but sure likes to argue about this stuff

DJP otm about normalization; also my guess would be that posters of color on ilx are hyperaware of the races of other posters, just like in the world. i know i make a mental note about it. this is not to blame white posters for anything; it's just to say. WDYLL thread is not the source for my mental database about this stuff fwiw.

haha xp
my point was that people of color have more reason/need to be jaymc.xls about race in general but i shouldn't assume about ilx, i suppose

This thread's bad for me making up racist jokes in my head.
When I get arrested for yelling racial epithets off a building down here, I'm telling you now that I'm going to say it all came from reading too much ILX.

i basically never visit the WDYLL threads, and that's perhaps a mistake on my part. i like the "pure ideas" aspect of internet communication, and maybe i do sometimes allow that enthusiasm to override my respect for difference (i.e., universal white man syndrome). if some raceless internet apparition says something that seems to imply a kind of racism they're perhaps not aware of, i'm tempted to call it out. problem is, there is no such thing as a "raceless inernet apparation", and i wind up sticking my foot in my mouth, as happened here.

oh yeah, it definitely does, as does gender and sexual orientation and lots of other stuff. but they're not always equally self-evident. perhaps especially so where i'm concerned: i was misdiagnosed as autistic when i was a kid, and i've always been a little slow on the social uptake (big surprise, i know).
