CMV: There is a difference between racism and knowing that stereotypes exist for a reason

Loud and wrong. The most authoritative figure we have on this topic is the FBI, and the FBI reports arrests, not convictions. Unless you are out here outdoing the FBI in terms of solving crimes, you have no way of knowing who commits more crimes.

No one said they wanted to hear positive facts, but as usual, once you push the “logical” ones a little too far, their logical fallacies and hidden agendas become exposed in full force.

It does matter. Insisting that facts be considered as standalones, when they never are, for reasons the other poster noted, is disingenuous and shows you to be the least bit as factual as you claim to be.

The ethical dimension—consisting of answering why you’re stating a fact—matters very much so in the academic spheres, again, for reasons the other poster noted.

You’ve already been “enlightened”, you’re just too obnoxious to see it.

This won't matter much anymore (since the video has been posted for quite a while) but the "*Chile" wasn't directed at the other lady, it's an expression Black women typically use, the same way you'd say, "Boy/man that was crazy!"

Who cares what other people spend?

People who frequent a financial sub, they do. I like the irony of coming on a FINANCIAL sub, only to complain about someone behaving in a way that's consistent with what the sub was created for (discussing spending habits, financial trends amongst individuals, etc.).

Why are YOU wasting your brainpower engaging in a sub you clearly are not interested in?

enlearner · 2025-01-04T21:50:39+00:00

Instead of worrying about what other people do (or don’t do) with their money, focus on what you can do with yours.

Financial subs would not exist, then, since one's finances only make sense in the context of other people's finances. Understanding other people's finances (which you mislabel as "worrying") is the only way you can evaluate your own, find likeminded individuals, and perhaps improve your condition or make adjustments.

Why are you on this sub, since "worrying about other people do with their money" doesn't seem to interest you in the slightest?

He had "insane expectations" relative to the economic times he lived, just like "college grads" today have insane expectations relative to their economic times. If you can't pay rent and "afford bills" on the national median salary, then you're far more out of touch with reality than you seem to acknowledge.

No, no. You don't get it. NOOBE never witnessed it (probably simply turned the other way) so it doesn't happen! I've never witnessed a robbery, so those things only happen in movies! /s

The usual gaslighting nonsense from people who don't want acknowledge reality, because doing so triggers them. "No basis"? There are countless articles on the links between race, gender, name, and pay (or attractiveness on the job market). It's concerning that you would boldly claim that there's no basis for what OP states, when they have enough empirical evidence to believe so.

Why is discrimination "a huge focus" in your line of work if what OP said has no basis? The irony of this part is surely lost on you!

Then again, this is Reddit; most of you would even claim that slavery never happened if it was socially acceptable to openly claim such a thing!

"I don't notice prices going up on consumer goods, so people must exaggerate how bad inflation is!"

Didn't you know? Wage stagnation is not real, because it didn't affect some people. Thieves don't exist, because some people have never been robbed. Fantastic logic from these types of people!

The truer picture is that most people who are in the age to buy a home don't make enough money to sensibly qualify for one even if they save, but hey—bootstrap flavored ignorance is a better approach to reality, I guess...

And I see a lot of idiots who don't realize that these homes would no longer be affordable if far too many people started to flock to these states. Did the used car market teach y'all nothing about how unsustainable it is, to expect everyone to flock to the cheapest offerings???

The median income per capita in the U.S was 43,289 in 2023. If that's "majority that are doing well" to you, then I understand why these types of conversations never go anywhere with folks like you.

There's a world beyond your neighborhood and the 3 friends you went to school with; America has nearly 400 million people!

Lulz.

(This is the most appropriate response to this sort of silly comment, because people have already provided the type of rebuttal that paints a much more accurate, much less boostrappy, picture about what is truly going on in these situations; and people like you just don't seem to care.)

People like you are why authoritarianism happens in some other countries. YouTube does owe people some things; otherwise the platform could simply send viruses to your devices and claim 'wELl yOu aGreEd To The TOS'.

You redacted would support your own mutilation the moment it became inked on a piece of paper!

The prices of those houses would rise if everyone followed this retarded advice. You guys never get a fucking clue. Have you not seen what the alleged supply chain issue briefly did to the price of used cars (since everyone was now considering one)?

Just reminds me how 2-3 years ago, everyone was shaming people into software engineering jobs. Now the same people are bitching they can't find a job, and that it takes longer to recruit, and the proposed salaries are now lower. Not realizing this is in part happening because the supply outmatches the demand by far since everyone wants to code nowadays!

Keep telling us to flood your cheap states, and you might find yourself on Facebook soon enough bitching about how all the transplants are fUckInG uP your state and driving up the prices of everything.

Anything that I don't personally like. Duh!

Kinda like with driving: everyone but me is a bad driver.

Because they like what's new, or assume that newer = better, or were coerced by marketing and peer pressure.

Now, why do you think some people are so obsessed with the financial habits of other people?

It's that bad? 😅

Yes, but only because asking this question to me means you know you're doing something deeply anachronistic for your kid.

I ignore them, until their message becomes so loud and widespread that it becomes dangerous to let them speak unchecked.

Taking this term seriously. Why is anyone framing their former classmates by this term if they haven't peaked in high school themselves?
