Is it not possible for white people to react the same way, to just have had enough? To be tired and angry and sad about the constant stream, the constant news, the constant killings? Why does it have to be just one thing?

Ah, yes, DragonBall GokuZ. Snark aside, story expansions are always awesome in my book, especially when compared to just extra characters and the like. 

Yup, this pandemic is far from over. The most promising vaccine candidate is still in early human trials, and while it is very promising, it still needs a lot of work to ensure that it is in fact safe and effective.

It certainly is, and the fact that the weather is no longer helping keep people inside is a big factor as well. Now’s when the “second wave” starts happening.

Unfortunately, it’s not a matter of whether or not you like it. It’s about what others perceive. Whether a certain cadence or selection of words is considered “black” has nothing to do with whether we like it, but whether it is associated, by others, with being “black.” It has to do with whether, when hearing that…

Yeah, you don’t really get it, do you? It’s not that there aren’t beatings or executions of white victims. It’s not that there aren’t plenty of perfectly normal police encounters. It’s that, when there are race-related beatings, homicides, and excessive uses of force, those responsible are rarely investigated, even…

Yeah, it’s nice to know that cops do know how to approach a situation with empathy and do all in their power to help someone. It’s a shame it just means that the police forces are full of racist shitheads instead of totalitarian shitheads, instead of there just being “a few bad cops.”

Yeah, it kind of sucks that the internet exposes you to the issues of other countries, but that doesn’t mean that those conversations are any less important. We’re not going to shut up about people suffering just because it’s not relevant to you.

No, more like people profile and assume whenever they want to based on characteristics. You don’t have to agree with it to recognize that it exists and is used, appropriately or otherwise.

The issue is not whether or not such judgments are accurate, just that they can be made. And yeah, “suburban cis maile from Ohio” is typically associated with being white, not black. Is it accurate? Not really, but it is the common assumption. It’s about perception, not accuracy, just like every single other judgement…

That’s exactly the point, though. You can SOUND like something, because that particular set of vocal patterns is associated with those characteristics. It doesn’t matter whether or not it should be, it just is.

So, what you’re telling me is, there aren’t regional and ethnic variations in other countries. Other countries don’t have subcultures. Bill Bailey’s entire comedic act is a lie, all Australians sound alike, there’s no differentiation between different Spaniards depending on where they were raised, and all the Nordics…

You can determine the subculture someone belongs to by their speech, that is carried through by the cadence, word choice, and other similar markers. If you paid attention enough, you could even pinpoint which part of certain cities people come from by how they talk. You may not personally be processing this…

It does. It also gives people the power to take that power away from the shitty people by limiting the ways in which they can be shitty, instead of just dealing with their shittiness. Which then makes it so everybody else can actually enjoy themselves without having to wade through the shit.

Yeah, you never made an argument. You made an assertion and failed to back it up with, well, anything. Probably because your superiority complex is so fragile you can’t take a simple challenge to it, which is a shame.

Yup, you have no idea how accessibility works. Slightly wider doors and hallways for wheelchairs have no inconvenience for anybody else using those doors and hallways. Adding Braille to signs for blind folks has inconvenienced you not at all. Chirps at crosswalks? Bad for nobody. But it’s pretty clear that you don’t…

You know, it’s actually possible to make things accessible for a wide variety of people without inconveniencing anybody! A shocking thought, to be sure, but I suppose that all the different design decisions to make things accessible to you in particular are so invisible at this point that you don’t even notice them,…

It’s not a matter of “better calls/advice.” Imagine a game of pickup basketball, where one team is able to shout and communicate, and the other isn’t. You’d expect one team to work better, right? Now, imagine that both teams have the same method of communication. Say it’s holding up colored cards that mean the same…

They sound culturally white, with specific speech patterns, slang terms, and attitudes that are different from those from various African-American, Latino, Asian, or other subcultures. Specifically primarily from North America, especially from most regions of the US. They don’t have a particularly feminine voice if…

Or, alternatively, people need to grow the fuck up and stop harassing others. Or have their toys taken away when they do.
