![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/4l6cRPK.jpg) Some things to consider: 1) Not everything needs to be a damn list, Nina 2) Lemons are yellow 3) Lemonade and lemon juice are different. Lemonade is heavily diluted with water because lemon juice on its own is too hardcore for most people. Only skateboarders and paratroopers would drink it. 4) Lemon juice has a yellowish tint to it. 5) The lemons you see on your monitor are not yellow, because your monitor uses an RGB color scheme, and it's merely a collection of very small RGB points that are designed to trick your eye. That means the makers of computer monitors are selling a product that is designed to LIE TO YOU. Actively deceive you. Introduce falsehood into your life. How can you live like that, knowing something you trusted is lying? How? Why do you continue to put up with this kind of abuse? 6) You accept your monitor for what it is, because when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. | ||

He's not exactly wearing a white hood, but it's pretty race-baity. 1. Why would assuming that Korean people play Starcraft, listen to k-pop or watch anime be racist? It actually is a decent part of Korean young people that either know or do these things, so it's not unreasonable to assume it could be true. Especially since she's removed from her country of ancestry, so she might do some of those things to keep a connection to her ancestry. Besides, it's a good starting point for a conversation. It could come off as stereotyping or presumptuous at worst, but definitely not racist. I'm gonna give a bad example, but you should get the idea: if I see a buff guy, and assume he's training some sport, but it turns out he just works a very physical job that makes him get muscles, does that make my assumption immoral? Or does it depend on why I thought that or made that comment? (Eg. useless aggressive muscle-heads vs useful and productive members of society, or no prejudice at all when comparing them) Actually being racist is hating them because they're different than you and acting on it in a way to harm or disadvantage them in some way. And there's always degrees. Jumping on every little potentially racist thing is probably counterproductive. 2. Pointing out about her holding hands with a black guy. This is not very racist, or it could be not racist at all. It's not racist per se. It all depends on why he wrote it. He could be just pointing it out. And/or it could be a part of the story - since the story is about racism, it's could be in the service of the story to mention his race. Granted, he didn't do anything with it, which is usually not a good practice in writing, but you don't know what he wanted to do with it - could be that he wanted exactly this reaction, people thinking and discussing about racism, in which case, it's not useless nor racist, it's the exact opposite, and he succeeded in his plan. Or he could be slightly racist, I don't know. 3. Period joke. It's a bad joke about periods and women. It's more of an asshole/troll/stupid joke than a sexist one (but it is slightly sexist, don't get me wrong), and not racist at all. It has nothing to do with her race, and everything to do with her sex. Police brutality isn't racist, per se. Even if it's done mostly against one race. It is racist if the reports and statistics point out in some way that it's significantly done because of racist reasons or it could be racist if it's disproportionally done against one race (but not necessarily, there could be non-racist reasons for the disproportionality). Also, by your standards, "black lives matter" is also racist, since it's mostly about black people. 4. Lemon/yellow/Asian thing. Why would it be inherently racist? There's tons of works of fiction that do similar things to illustrate something. Another bad example: Does making up a story about a nazi guy murdering people make the writer a nazi, or a murderer at heart? Does it mean he's promoting it? Does it mean the opposite? Does it just mean the writer wants people to think about it and make up their minds about nazis and murders, one way or the other? Also, you disregard the part of the exchange where she points out it's a bad thing. So the writer is aware that it could be perceived as racist in some context or by some people, and knows it's mostly considered bad. If it's not a work of fiction, then it's definitely not racist, since after that he says that he didn't make the comment because she's Asian, but because of other reasons. 5. Another point to piss off Nina. Do you feel the sexism? You also missed the most racist/inflammatory thing in the whole text, lol. He pointed to a stormtrooper while talking about getting the order to go stop the protests. Stormtroopers are army men in WHITE. At this point, I'm pretty convinced it's a fictional story, because that one is just ridiculous. If it's not, the guy is: a) an asshole intentionally trying to piss her off b) obliviously stupid c) racist d) all of the above If you want me to do the same thing as you do, to illustrate the point, I could point out that you're "sexist"/"racist", since you disregarded her bad/inept/"racist" behavior, and only focused on his. But I'm not going to do that - I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, because of your last line, and because I don't like jumping on every little thing and screaming "wolf". Bonus questions: Is it racist if you say black people repeatedly get lowest scores in SATs? What about saying asians get highest scores? What about saying whites don't get highest, nor lowest scores? What about the facts (asians getting highest scores, and blacks getting lowest, whites between) themselves, are they racist? Are the SATs racist? What about the educational system? | ||

"Also, by your standards, "black lives matter" is also racist, since it's mostly about black people." "Is it racist if you say black people repeatedly get lowest scores in SATs?" If you were to assert that black people's low scores are because black people aren't smart, then yes, that would be racist. That would be more in line with the subject of police brutality, as the subject of police brutality and the broader context of being black in America explicitly includes the biased notion that blacks are generally criminals and inferior individuals. On the other hand, if you delved deeper into the research on standardized testing and learned about the more relevant correlations to things like socioeconomic status and general access to useful learning tools, rather than skin color, then you'd have a much better understanding of the situation. As for BLM being racist simply because it has a disproportionately high percentage of black people in the movement, that's - again - removing all context from the situation. That's not the same thing, and certainly not by my standards. The contexts of police brutality, SAT scores, and BLM matter. Also, this discussion was way more entertaining when it was redirected towards the color of lemonade. Attempting to salvage the tasteless OP is a way less interesting conversation imho, and I feel like this discussion already occurs in the politics thread every other day anyway. It's probably more useful to continue it there, when applicable. "What about the educational system?" The American educational system has a ton of problems, including racism, but that's a conversation for another day. Cheers  | ||
