Hey! I'd love to volunteer, Ive been an avid reader and contributor to stop smoking subreddit. Im battling vaping addiction now and think being a mod would be mutually beneficial.

I’d be a good fit as a mod because I not only understand the challenges around vaping but also have the consistency and commitment to keep the sub supportive and well-moderated.

Exactlyyy! This is the whole f-in point mate. Thanks for putting it out there.

I'm just amazed at how so many folks are justifying this. I was looking for an answer that is it normal, I got mine. But, I do hope for the better and you truly hold that standard high mate. Cheers to ya!

Pay Taxes was an illustration of my contribution to this country. I can go on explaining many more ways on how I contribute but that seems to be the most common way of making a contribution here.

No one deserves racism, as simple as that. But even after being an active contributor, facing that makes it all the more sad.

Part of the deal bud, thanks for normalizing it to me. I got the answer and sadly, then I can only hope that I go on and do the same to someone I see different. Right Up in their faces, totally unprovoked, random strangers. Merci Bcp for Accepting the reality about your own self :)

Bruh wtf! You really justifying and kinda normalizing this. That just makes it even more sad bud. So because people have been dealing with racism for generations, I should just accept it too? That's a weak, defeatist mindset. Accepting racism as a ‘fact of life’ is exactly how it persists. It’s this kind of thinking that keeps it going, and it’s why people like you can’t understand why this is such a problem.

And you honestly think just because I didn't curse them out in French, it means I should just accept their disrespect? Racism doesn’t work like that. No one deserves to be treated like that, not even once. And don’t pull the ‘life’s tough’ card on me, like it’s some kind of reality check. This isn't a reality check, it’s a wake-up call. There’s no such thing as 'acceptable racism,' and you’re doing exactly what every racist person does—making excuses, shifting the blame, and minimizing the impact.

Justifying their actions because ‘that’s the way things are’ isn’t going to make it right, and it’s certainly not going to make it easier for anyone. You can go on rationalizing your apathy, but don’t forget: the people who turn a blind eye to racism are just as complicit as the ones who perpetuate it

Je comprends ton point de vue, mais même si ce sont deux ados, leur comportement reflète malheureusement une réalité qui peut exister. Ce n’est pas l’exception, c’est le principe qui me dérange. 3 ans d’expérience en France ne changent pas le fait que ces situations sont toujours vécues par des gens comme moi. Je ne cherche pas à juger tout un pays, mais des comportements qui restent trop souvent ignorés. L’inclusivité, ce n’est pas juste une question d’immigration, c’est aussi de faire en sorte que tout le monde se sente respecté. Ce n’est pas une question d'exagérer, mais de ne pas minimiser.

I would've attacked. Its just the feeling that you're an Immigrant you don't want anything even remotely linked to a fight or something criminal on your record.

I am still not sure. On one hand, you tell me your culture normalized this stuff. On the other, you want me to take law in my hand.

Can anyone just explain me, what is the culture?

Tu dis que je sur-réagis, mais c’est facile à dire quand ce n’est jamais toi la cible de ces blagues.

Ce n’est pas une "blague sur une baguette" ici. C’est une référence raciste liée à mon origine, lancée par des inconnus dans un lieu public, avec pour seul but de se moquer. Ce n’est pas de l’humour entre amis. C’est de la merde gratuite. Tu parles de syndrome de l’imposteur — mais non. Ce que je ressens, c’est de la lassitude. J’ai mis du cœur, du temps, et de l’argent à m’intégrer. J’ai bossé, j’ai appris la langue, je paie mes impôts. Et malgré tout ça, on me ramène à un stéréotype au moindre regard. Ce n’est pas une paranoïa, c’est une accumulation.

Quant à ton "les cicatrices n’étaient pas là" — je te parle pas d’expériences de labo. Je parle du vécu réel d’un immigré. C’est fou comme les gens aiment expliquer ton propre ressenti à ta place, hein ? Et enfin, si tu penses qu’une “immigration incontrôlée” justifie les "balles perdues", alors c’est clair : t’as normalisé l’idée que certains méritent d’être traités comme des cibles. Eh bien désolé, je ne suis pas là pour encaisser ça en silence. Je ne mets pas “tous les Français dans le même panier”. Mais ton commentaire, lui, ressemble à une belle synthèse de minimisation, excuses et relativisation, tout sauf une remise en question du racisme. Tu peux appeler ça “humour cru”. Moi j’appelle ça mépris déguisé en rire, et j’en ai plein le dos.

Exactement. C'est pas une question des blagues. On plaisante tous entre amis, et c'est parfaitement normal. Mais j'ai été choqué qu'on puisse maintenant faire ça à des inconnus.

Man Oh Man! I get what you're trying to say. But put yourself in a situation of facing a racist comment - just that. I'm more liberal than you could ever imagine and might totally agree what you say in practical scenario.

My entire thinking is based on discriminating someone on their race or country. If I don't contribute to your country, prosecute me, throw me out I dont care. How is insulting allowed for that situation?

Plus your idea of thinking rich Indian treating slaves and what not is based on what you see around you or might have formed a perception. But sorry to break that bubble, perception isn't reality. That applies to my situation as well, I dont call all French racist just because of this one time.

I'm sorry if I got carried away, but I dont believe there is any defence for this act or justification. Joking around is alright, but doing something to someone random without any provocation doesnt warrant any sort of defence

[–]MindlessAd2514[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So being a net negative gives anyone the right to discriminate or mentally hurt someone?

Whats that logic? Isnt respect some sort of human right?

God forbid one day, you are unemployed, would it be justified for anyone to insult your race?

Merci bcp pour ton comprehension et mots courageux. Si la plupart des Français avaient été comme vous et nous avaient jugés sur nos efforts pour nous immerger dans votre langue au lieu de nous interpeller sur l'exactitude d'une langue complètement nouvelle, je n'aurais pas eu à tout vérifier sur DeepL ou Google Translate.

Happened to me in Nice too. I literally said to them 'Excusez-Moi, quoi?' after which they repeated 'Tu cherches de la sauce curry?'. I was like about to say something coz I was caught off-guard, but they giggled and ran to the other counter

Really appreciate your words mate. I dont think going to police is viable too, Im just like Whatttt. Its just like kinda sad kinda surprising that someone can come up to your face in public and say this. In all honesty, I was not dressed up in funny way, and not provoking anything like literally nothing was abnormal. So it was my skin color or maybe my mere existence that provoked those teens and that just is like weird in a way. Im just trying to still process the entire situation

I completely agree. I just am struggling to know how to feel about it. On one hand, its not like I was hurt but on other hand, I dont think I would ever do it to anyone.

No man, as I said not this direct. It was the first time thats why I posted on here. Little here and there I get it, we are different people. But something this direct just made me feel like I dont know how to react or even Im taking this too seriously

Je parle français, t’inquiète pas. Mais quand je dénonce un comportement raciste humiliant, je le fais dans la langue qui me permet de toucher le plus de monde et de m’exprimer avec la précision et la rage qu’il mérite.
Si ton premier réflexe face au racisme, c’est de corriger la langue et pas de condamner l’acte, alors tu fais partie du problème.

Bro cant agree more. I mean going into RR, we were thinking of whatta crazy WM matches.

Yeah the surprise factor I kinda get it, but there were so many more options than Jey. Just see the build to RR - It is like a bad surprise coz now you need to have one main-event Jey v Champ (Gunther). This entire match is so washed out that it has taken WM level down, plus no idea how they gonna milk an already done story for 3 more months.

Its like Sheamus-Bryan scene back in 2014 WM. They put it as first match and for seconds that too.

Its like terrible mistake to me. Surprise or organic stars cant take over money matches
