Since we had a post about the most friendliest countries, we should look at countries that have unexpected friendly people, not the usual answers like Ireland, Scotland, Canada, Taiwan, etc. For me it’s Montenegro. Londoners are considered to be cold and rude but I find them to be very pleasant with me.
Race/ethnicity is an immutable physical characteristic. Culture is a set of norms and attitudes that people choose to (or not) adhere to. Nobody would fly off the handle if you said new yorkers are stand-offish. It’s generally true - even if it doesn’t necessarily apply to the whole.
“Judge people not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Being German is genetics, like being black.
Not even new-yorkes? Then they are not really that stand offish, aren’t they?
But is is okay to judge people by the color of their flag?
You’re tripping dawg. Your argument is weak, which is why you’re trying so hard to twist people’s words into something they’re not.
Culture is a set of norms, attitudes and behaviors. It’s not racist to predict behavior based on whether said people self-identity themselves as members of those cultures. It’s not a difficult concept to grasp, so stop intentionally misinterpreting what people are saying. What you’re doing at this point is trolling, and you know it.
A whole bunch of assumptions with nothing to back it up, like a true racist.
Bad faith replays to bad faith replays seems fair to me.
You are arguing points I didn’t make so how am I supposed to take this serious?
Like “It’s not racist to predict behavior based on whether said people self-identity themselves as members of those cultures.”
What the fuck are you rambling on about? :D
My point was that it feels racist to take a group/race/nationality/gender/sex/whatever and then say that those people in that group act all the same.
That is the mechanism of racism so it feels racist. And then one person said that it is not racist at all because it is not about race, it is about culture.
As if the mechanism and result differ because its another group :D
And then it turns out that it is called “cultural racism” because it is sooooo different from racism xD
I also said that racism can come from a “positive” place. Like the Asian example. Which is still bad and racist. Some Asians aren’t good at math and their hate that people expect it from them.
Those were my arguments. The second Post in this comment chain and no one following was capable of engaging with that. Instead theiy did what you are acusing me of right now^^
It’s a clownshow, I treat it as such.
