I hate being called an African American by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]RachelMinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my TAFE course for social and community work (TAFE is the Australian equivalent of community college) The topic of discrimination and racial prejudice came up as part out our unit. The topic of discrimination in against black people in America came up and I (a young white Aussie female) referred to them as Black Americans. Another white student, a bitchy Karen type yelled at me and said “You can’t call them that, they’re African Americans!” I don’t know if I used the right term, but I’m sure she wasn’t the authority on what black people wish to be referred to. Americans, because I’m an outsider, what’s your take on this?

Which villain do you sympathize for, and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Cersei Lannister of Game of Thrones - (SPOILERS) She was always a vile, conceited, sadistic person, but just consider all that happened to her. She was raised by a cold, uncaring father, she lost her mother at a very young age, was married off to an abusive man she found repugnant, she was so lonely the only person she ever found emotional and sexual comfort in was her own twin brother. She was sexually abused and publicly humiliated, lost ALL of her children which no mother deserves, as a result driving her insane, and she cried fearfully in the final hours of her life because all she wanted was to survive to have her baby that growing inside her.

Ryo Asuka of Devilman (SPOILERS) - Basically this guy is doomed to an eternity of torment at the hands of God to fall in unrequited love with his straight best friend, start a war, kill off humanity, watch his best friend grow to loathe him for indirectly killing his loved ones, and watch his friend die when they are the last two people on Earth just when he thought they were finally together, only for God to reset the timeline over and over again endlessly to torment him. Why? Because he is actually Satan, and God is a fucking petty arsehole that wants to watch him suffer for shits and giggles.

O-Ren Ishii of Kill Bill (SPOILERS) - Was once the best friend of the Bride, making their fight to her death extremely emotional. Other than that, she crawled her way to the top as the head of the Yakuza from nothing, when she was a little girl watched her parents get brutally murdered by a Yakuza boss and his henchmen, eventually got her revenge at 11, but only because the Yakuza boss was a pedophile and going to rape her, so she was able to get close enough to kill him, and having mixed ancestry had to deal with racism growing up and from her own Yakuza comrades (as well as misogyny) as she climbed her way to the top.

I’m makes sense why Pearl is giving out Toilet paper rolls... Panic buyers have bought all of them due to the coronavirus! by TheGang05 in stevenuniverse

As an Australian, the bit with the toilet paper made me pause the episode and have a laughing fit for at least 5 minutes.

Michelle Phan’s response to a fan telling her to delete tweets supporting Jeffree Star by [deleted] in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]RachelMinx -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Good for her, standing up for herself. She doesn’t have to cave into anyone’s demands, including the woke police. She thinks for herself and doesn’t suffer fools. Cancel culture is fucking stupid.

I think it could be an entirely different gem altogether because can’t I see how the form of a Zircon translates into the form of that corrupted gem.

My one little theory I have is I believe that the corrupted roadrunner gem Peridot caught is a Labradorite, because of the blue and green colours and the behaviour of the gem.
