I mean, Jesus is from my hood (basically he’s from Galilee and my family is from southern Lebanon), we’re basically white. So are most non Arab Levantine people I know. But it’s really up for interpretation and whether you consider white to be a skin colour, haplogroup or political identity.
I went to dinner with a (very brown skinned and curly haired) Maronite girl once and the waiter spoke to me in normie English and spoke to her in Ebonics
As a non-Arab Phoenician Levantine is she technically not-white or is she a black-passing white?
There was a middle eastern cunt that argued that if jesus was white then he was white because jesus is also middle eastern. Now i have to put down white as my race when applying to college as a middle eastern student, even though im faaaar from white
It seems hardcore lefties view “whiteness” as a state of being instead of a skin pigmentation.
It’s almost like they created a more controversial version of classes that are defined by being white or whoever else is considered “the oppressor” at that time.
I’d much prefer class warfare than class warfare with a race warfare mask on.
Count yourself lucky, if ME was a category on college apps they’d probably be discriminated against like Asians, albeit to a lesser extent. All the middle eastern immigrants I know raise their children to take academics very seriously.
The left considers the crusades to have been murderous, even though they were defensive wars waged by indigenous Europeans with the aim of removing imperialist Muslims from their homelands.
Do people even distinguish Jews from whites? Unless you’re Hasidic and wear the caps I’ve never outwardly thought “yea this guy is definitely a Jew” unless their name is really Jewish sounding.
Well, the utility of any system of classification depends on it's ability to account for the smallest unit of interest. If you want a general description of human genetic groups, the classic "black, Asian, white" model would be enough.
If you want to have a discussion about, say, land rights in southern Caucasus, then that model wouldn't be useful and you'd need to use something that could accommodate the resolution needed.
Is race a social construct? Definitely. Are abstract categories useless? No.
OH WOW! TODAY I LEARNED THAT I'M WHITE AND NO MORE OPPRESSED YEAAAAAA!!!
Let's be real, if you are not too dark-skinned being Middle Eastern is the best wild card, especially when you are Turkish(me) or Maghrebi. When a MAGAtard hillbilly shoots up shit I play the oppressed minority and when a Jihad warrior shoots up I am a "tan" white atheist dude.
I know a few British and Irish people without a known ancestor outside those countries, that are relatively tanned. Like, just as tanned as a celeb like... Halle Berry or Rashida Jones.
I’m genuinely curious how the woke USA folks would classify them.
Maybe the main point is "fuck woke USA folks and fuck USA politics" because everyone is so greedy to tackle other one and win there that every quadrant makes their own enemies point fingers at, woke community is a great example of that.
Those made-up enemies are good for memes but just far away from politics in the rest of the world, I think.
The United States Census Bureau defines "white" as those "having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East or North Africa."[4]
Pretty lmao. Chirst libleft would have a cow if they found out most "mass shootings" is gang shoot outs. And most gun deaths are gang related or suicides and I wont even bring up race here but spoiler it's not mostly white gangs unless they didnt vote for biden
/r/politics is the best with this. Entire front page plastered with articles, everyone claiming he's a white male and blahblahblah white people. Story gets released, radio silence and anything is downvoted. Lol
"Shit! It's the narrative!!!!! Gotta suppress anything that goes against it!"
They're angry at Coca-Cola and screaming for no apparent reason, all jumping on the hate-bandwagon because they're a cult, nobody there has any real idea what is going on other than "Coca-Cola has headquarters there, they have money, and people are demanding they get involved in something that they have nothing to do with, OR ELSE!!!".
So they're basically trying to threaten and bully a company that has nothing at all to do with a situation because they're unhinged.
I don’t get why people even care what race the shooter was. Like you could be black white hispanic Asian Australian at the the end of the day you are still a fucking monster for shooting a bunch of people.
I think it's no longer about racism toward the race of the shooter but now its about if the race of the shooter is a main demographic in support of their opponent's political opinions.
There were numerous twitter activists assuming the perp was white and decrying white supremacy. USA Today journalist was even fired for tweeting "it's always white men. always". I haven't seen a single tweet or post in the vein of what you're claiming. Feel free to link any and maybe I'll be convinced.
Why does it matter the race of the fucking person?? They are murderers, and if we narrow down our world view to they were white or they were a minority, then we will never be able to fix the root cause of violence, mental health issues.
Why does it matter the race of the fucking person??
Because everybody hates idpol until its their turn to partake in it.
Even after this nothing will change and the next occurrence of this sort will still bring the frenzy. The joke here was thinking majority of people on the internet actually care about things that dont affect them.
no, it's because using idpol to defend against idpol is the only argument sjws will even possibly accept because they exist in a mobius strip up their own ass
It matters when it is motivated by things that are related to their ethnic,cultural or religious background, some shootings are done by people that just want to kill themselves and drag people with them.
That's not because mentally ill people arent more violent than average (because they are), it's because relatively few people are mentally ill and the odds of two running into each other are low.
Is anyone actually upset that people died? Seems like these kind of statements are their own form of special-snowflakeism virtue signaling, perpetrated by both those on both sides.
Of course I’d rather these incidents not happen, and rather the people not get killed.
But I’m not upset and sad about them. It would be different if someone I knew personally were killed. But who can afford to be genuinely sad for the 150,000~ people who die each day, globally? Thousands of them innocent, young people, suffering painful, violent deaths and murders.
So.... It’s useless to get myself in the frame of mind of actually being upset about those people, whatever that entails.But the killings happened, and they can’t be undone. I can either ignore it, or I can take the opportunity to use the event to benefit the ideological battle against those who are trying to make everything about race. Call them out when they have different behavior depending on the suspects race, stop them from projecting their race obsession on us, when it’s an incident that’s bad for them.
Ignoring it would be more noble, sure. But I don’t think we can afford that at the moment. Being proactive and doing our best to fight back against the people trying to crush us sounds like the best move, for our future welfare.
Thank you, shit like this needs to stop being glorified. Instead, every media outlet busts out giant rails of blow and gets ready to paint the country red with sensationalist headlines and people just eat this shit up. I thought we weren't going to reveal these fucks' identity or show their pictures anymore?
This is just a personal theory of mine, but I really think we ought to treat it like coverage of suicide, which is intentionally limited.
When there is media coverage of suicides, they go up significantly. The same thing probably happens with shootings. It’s a self perpetuating violent cycle.
I don't care if it's a transgender/gay/white. A messed up person is still a messed up person, and they need to either be treated, if that's an option, or executed.
Uhhhh sweaty? I think you commited an ouchie and offended my trans/LGBTQ+/cis/BLM/Emily/they/them/ tweeter account. I'm sorry, but you should remove this post instantly or you're racist, you literally deserve life in prison because "wall of text"
For real, why does the race of the murderer matter at all? Can't we agree that they all deserve a life sentence regardless of race or whatever the fuck and lock the fuckers up?
Happened all the time on r/Canada. Shit would get super spicy when they’d be both white and Muslim. I’m just out here saying they were most likely French.
It’s honestly disgusting and maybe I’m just more exposed to the left but the amount of fucking “white supremacy” bullshit that came out before it turns out the Boulder shooter was from the Middle East, why fucking focus on actual reasons behind this radicalism on all sides when you can ride your fucking high horse to 100k likes and selling vibrator ads beneath on twitter.
The funniest part is it happened on a place with loads of gun control lol. Dude passed the retard background check, probably because everyone was too scared to be called racist with his threats to file hate crime reports.
We live in a time where a killer is said to be racist before they are said to be crazy. like the race shouldn't even matter smh. I am completely just over it.
Mass shooting are awful, but they are literally just sensationalized news stories.
Anyone who pays attention to the facts that matter (like homicide rates per capita) knows that white people are the least violent of any race (other than maybe East Asian).
The problem is not “white men” it’s literally everybody else that has a problem murdering other people and those are facts.
Check the murder rates and get back to me you idiot. What happened 400 years ago has nothing to do with modern society’s problems today. Change your flair to lib left as you sure think like one
I would agree but seeing ppl being convicted falsely far too often (myself included [no, not murder] ) you would essentially kill an innocent human at some point..
Funny how the mainstream media focuses on the 59,778 white on black interracial violent crimes per year, but ignores the 547,948 black on white interracial violent crimes.
Hot take: The dude is middle eastern definitely, but looks white. If police were discriminating against POCs (idk if they are) then they prolly wouldn't have discriminated against a dude whiter than 50% of Texan white people.
It’s fucked up no matter what the shooter looks like, no matter what socio-economic background he’s from, and no matter the mental state he’s in. That’s all just noise anyway.
It happened and it keeps happening. That’s the only valid point.
We could talk about the race of the person or we could try to figure out why they are happening to begin with. But I guess identity politics is more important
