I find it a bit racist when people want to pick apart a movie with thi subjeft matter as though it’s just another movie and not some watershed. White people cant be bothered to appreciate a movie that depicts the black man’s struggle. Critics almost always are racist in their reviews

ThatInternet definition is outdated or wrong. I wasn’t a humanities major but all the humanities courses I was forced to take at the University of California made a huge deal about how racism should be defined as what you consider systemic racism. That’s what academia wants. Obviously people blow the UC system off but…

Racism actually isn’t strictly the belief of genetic superiority. The definition of racism in sociology circles is the creation of tiered groups in society that shape the institutional systems around us economically, politically, and culturally. One racial group is given preference in hiring practices, and…

I think you went way past the point. The problem (outlined in this article) is that minorities always face a shitload of racism whenever they do well in their respective video game tournaments. Yes, cocky British accents might get a few snarky remarks, but just watch what happens on ANY major stream whenever a black…

Calling me a nigger is not a joke

Dunno if you’ve heard of this, but search for “the new Jim Crow internet.” It’s easy to pretend it’s not an actual thing but I can only imagine there are going to be more and more articles calling it what it is going forward. It’ll be an uphill battle considering how people deal with racism (especially in the context…

Ok you took that in a circle. Kids first learn from their parents and environment or do you think kids are now born with Wi-Fi and wireless ear buds?

Nobody is pretending to be a fucking racist. They just are racist. I agree with you there’s a culture that’s desperate to offend, that’s why they keep yelling about PC culture so they can call me a nigger offline as well

People saying more shit on the internet is indicative of the kind of shit they think, and probably say in private. That’s always been tru the internet isn’t a bunch of false personas, it’s our Id unchained. And I say that as someone who has at times intentionally trolled forums and game servers I’m involved in. I…

People saying shit on the internet is not idicative of anything.

I’m not sure what you think is “bad reasoning” you essentially just agreed with me.

But it’s all of a piece (is that the right phrase?). In this, or any culture, there is one way to be. And if you aren’t that thing, everything else is cause for mockery and derision. So it’s not really just being an asshole, it is bigotry, but bigotry can take many forms. It’s a many headed hydra. I mean think about…

Existing racism goes free reign without the pressures of society through the internet. It is the power of anonymity.

We don’t have to just ‘deal with it.’ We can show them the fuckin’ door. Their inability to function like normal human beings isn’t our problem. We ain’t raising these asshats. We don’t need to provide them a safe and secure place to deposit the radioactive garbage they use in lieu of actual human interactivity.

I strongly reject your supposition that there is only one problem with how people treat each other in a situation where they’re anonymous.

Yes.

Cool that you get to be the arbiter of what stories should be getting made or if a movie has a purpose.

Are you serious? Did you know that people thought there were female Navy Seals after GI Jane? That people think the Scarlet Letter is a movie starring Demi Moore and the book was written after the movie. What fraction of people do you think were aware of the Titanic sinking in 1912 before the 1997 movie came out?

I don’t understand this line of thought. Haven’t you spoken to many many people who don’t want to admit slavery happened or who thought it wasn’t so bad. Like “these were just some fellas me and my family fed, clothed and housed in exchange for a few chores”.

The Blue Cross Comedy Tour isn’t so funny.
