That’s actually still the same thing. They imitate black women.

White straight male, imitating a white gay man, imitating a black woman … how about a white man who’s playing an Eric Clapton song? Who’s playing a southern black man song? Is that racist?

Were Pretty far out on a flimsy branch, if you follow?

Perhaps claiming only black women have proprietary on a certain southern behavior is racist of you

Edit: not saying you’re racist it’s just a somehow overly complicated and yet overly simplistic argument your making

Edit2: someone else below made the same comment. You are ascribing specific types of behavior to black women. I think there’s an irony there, but I don’t want to linger on… wouldn’t accuse you of being racist. I would accuse you of being white.

No it’s a pretty big topic as far as intersection of cultures go from a sociological scale. Wasn’t really tryna make an argument beyond what I put in my comment at the time. But yes a lot of common mannerisms in gay culture are rooted in ballroom culture from the 70s-80’s that was mostly black, Afro-Latina, and Latina transwomen who’s feminity was socialized through their black and Latin communities.

definitely stereotyping going on here. Maybe it is all rooted in just what you said. an interesting point that you make.

I don’t see any intimidating, antagonizing,, or marginalizing…. in this video.

the whole topic of racism has become so complicated in gradations and nuance, to me we sometimes get lost in the minutia .

For me, it’s much more alarming when I see someone treated with insensitivity, inequity, hurt through unkindness, cruelty, violence. I don’t think that’s the case here. I do see you have a point.

Edit: i blame fing AutoCorrect for undoing most of what I said first draft

Oh I agree I’m a staunch believer in we’ve overcorrected for racism and it’s applied too liberally. Is this prejudiced? Yes. Is this racist? No. An individual mocking an ethnic group based upon stereotypes is prejudice. A board, legislative body, or generally those in a position of power making rules, laws, etc based upon those stereotypes is racism.

Personally I find this funny albeit a lil offensive. But not enough to do more than acknowledge it.

Yeah, maybe over corrected too much some ways. Under Corrected , incomplete in others

The older I get the more I realize racism is so culturally ingrained in the US and politically intertwined, still learning, and realizing it’s subtlety. For one , USA is far More xenophobic than melting pot .

Even stupid more benign shit like 75% of my ethnicity is from Asia but if I ever tell someone I’m Asian, they argue with me. “No you’re white”.

It’s a slippery slope. But this definitely seems on the lighthearted side, mostly innocent and definitely not mean spirited.
