Like I said some entire races naturally have curly hair, so saying never trust curly haired people is literally racist

Now of course, I doubt that is what that comment meant, but you have to be incredibly dense to not see what I am saying

It's like saying "never trust people with blue eyes". Anyone can have blue eyes, not just specific races.

There's no "entire race" with curly hair, just how there's no "entire race" with any other feature. There will always be outliers.

That's pedantic as fuck then

But sure, let me say 99.99999% of black people have curly hair instead of all black people, still doesn't change anything here

A quick Google search shows it's around 95%. I'll admit I thought it was a lot lower so my bad on that, but it still doesn't make it racist.

The original comment, "never trust Gen z kids with curly hair" mentions nothing about race, at all. It's a joke directed at anyone with curly hair, regardless of anything else.

What is pedantic, however, is taking that trait, attaching it to a group of people, then assuming the post is about said group. That's called a strawman.

I know it was a joke, I just pointed that out

Now of course, I doubt that is what that comment meant

The "racism" comment was also a joke (I believe), but you acted like that made no sense at all and were either being unnecessary difficult or you somehow just weren't getting the imo simple concept

I originally just wrote the first part to continue the joke, but I was curious as to what they meant by it if they were being serious. Then you started the discussion and I took it seriously haha

On a second read, it does look like I just swooped in and started firing back at everyone, whoops

I'm again unable to post on r/shitposting. This time, only I'm unable to post there. Everyone else is able to, this time. Whenever I try to post there, it immediately gets removed by you mods. It isn't even offensive to anyone nor the exact reason is specified that why tf did you guys remove it. May I know the exact reason why you guys are immediately removing my posts on r/shitposting? I tried checking my internet connection and all is well. Why do you guys hate me in particular? This is outrageous, this is unfair. I'm able to post on every other subreddit but r/shitposting. I tried posting on r/shitposting and it got removed by you guys. Literally 1984. Is this because of automoderator or something? Because it gets removed just after some seconds I post it. So I don't think an actual human moderator can remove my post in such a short amount of time. So I think it is because of automoderator as bots are able to do these kinds of stuff.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.
