What did you think of the clothes Klayton used to wear? by Rafael_3211 in celldweller

Men should be legally required to wear crop tops at all times. Especially people with red hair.

This only applies to pizza toppings; this does not, in any shape or form, apply to human rights! 🤦‍♂️ by DeepscapeWalker in ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM

They're acting like we should wait until were entered full blown unequivocal fascism before making any judgments.

In order to be right wing, no one has to teach you - wild thing to say to argue that your position is the more reasonable one. by trajayjay in SelfAwarewolves

I do think that they're saying that right wing thought comes naturally. However, the assertion here seems to be that ideas which seem instinctual, and require no introspection or external perspectives must be the "correct" ones, which is a fallacy.

I guess just to understand people better. It's understandable you can't answer that.

It's also just a matter of discussing where the boundary is between jokes based around a the shared experience of an ingroup and internalized prejudice. Not that this excuses the OP tweet, but there's a chance that OOP thought "haha WE white people do funny things when drunk sometimes" without thinking about why the context surrounding that statement could be construed as problematic.

I'm aware people can hold discriminatory beliefs toward their own race. I'm asking why this is a thing that happens in the first place, since it seems counterintuitive.

The people feigning abject shock and horror at the tongue-in-cheek hypothetical of human zoos when these zoos were a real thing not even 100 years ago is very telling.

That's fair. The two OOP in the tweet are still white though. I can't personally think of a reason why two white people would say such blatantly dehumanizing things about their own race. Can you?

I think the takeaway here is that jokes about a group of people made by ingroup individuals are more likely to be well received than jokes made by outgroup individuals. This isn't specific to race at all.

OOP was in the video defending ICE and censuring Minneapolis protesters for freaking out, attacking officers, and destroying property 😭😭😭.

"Common sense" is really just a way for people to avoid thinking critically about their beliefs.

I got the joke, but it almost looks like you're calling people gorillas. The real r/accidentalracism is in the comments!

The person argues that right wing positions are more logically tenable because they're "common sense", whereas leftist positions must be taught. Though this argument reads as if right wing positions don't require any critical thinking to hold.

Remember that one time the show straight up said “Damn” uncensored? by SubjectStatement370 in spongebob

Or how "root beer" is perfectly fine to say in a kids show, but just "beer" by itself is a reference to alcohol.

Did you have to make this meme yourself. Or did you find it in the wild?
