These are just the type of kids that never shared their toys growing up.
The super bowl is the most American thing out there. Hispanics are a big part of America. Let’s have a Hispanic focused half time show! Thats never happened before it’ll be cool!
“NO ITS MY WHITE HALF TIME SHOW AND IT NEEDS TO BE WHITE FOR ME”
Actual toddler tantrum behavior.
Meanwhile lady gaga was there. And she was singing in english.
Yea but she’s Italian so she’s not white, but hey atleast she’s not Irish.
/s
It’s so stupid and subjective what’s white anyways. Like buddy comes from Spain and people consider them white but oh noes they come from somewhere south of the US or in the case or PR in the US and suddenly not white. Jokes on them were all descendants of rapist colonizers 😂
Like buddy comes from Spain and people consider them white
Noooo, Spain isn’t considered white to some racists. I’m not sure why that consistently comes up. You’re “white” or “one of the good ones” until you’re not to racists. They’re bullies against others and it’s kind of random. If an ICE guy pulls a person from Spain over and they’re speaking Spanish, they’re going in. Racism is stupid af and can’t be predicted. No one is safe.
My grandpa was 100% Spaniard, pale skin and blue eyes.
And? I’ve seen black people with pale skin and light eyes.
Have you ever seen a wall painted white, and told everyone it’s black? Yeah you probably have.
Wait hold up!
Was bad bunny trolling with his very much white suit?
How do you guys interpret the white clothes he was wearing?
For example, do they represent indigenous people’s clothes since most common clothes back then were white or at least colorless? I have a photo of two of my great great grand parents and they were wearing white long pants or shorts.
Or is he saying that there’s a brown person inside white people too?
Or that some of us try to be whiter by our clothing?
There’s a turn of phrase in Spanish. “Vestir de blanco” or “To dress all in white.” Basically, it means “putting on your Sunday best”. The outfit itself was a nod to Puerto Rican sugarcane farmers.
Alright, I imagined it wasn’t just something he picked for fun.
These guys are having more fun that these antiwoke fuckers. I have yet to see an anti woke influencer expressing genuine joy.
Yeah after seeing pam bondi yesterday i think white people need to be erased way more now. time to just admit white people have royally fucked up. Time for a change.
Suicide pact?

Is it bad that whenever I see these types of alarmist posts, I respond with “Happy Great Replacement!”?
No, that’s excellent. Please carry on.
I never, ever, get a reply back.
Maybe they were erased and replaced while you were typing. The horror!
Happy Great Replacement
Hey don’t erase or replace ickplant, she posts like 20% of the content on Lemmy lol
So true. Where will people get bat and opossum pics if I’m gone? Lemmy would be bat-less. And that’s sad.
Is bad bunny not white? I thought Puerto Rico was colonized by the spanish wiping out the majority of the native population and he looks pretty spanish. I guess this is one of those “the Irish aren’t white” situations.
“White” doesn’t actually mean anything real. Italians and Irish weren’t considered “white” until relatively recently.
The Irish are some of the most fair complexioned duckers I’ve ever seen excluding a Finn and an albino.
Are you sure racists aren’t just suffering from crippling cognitive disability?
The reason for this is that race is a made-up concept.
Race is a pure “us-vs-them” term. That’s why the term “race” was roughly equivalent to “nationality” in most European languages before the term fell out of use after WW2.
If you read texts from 1920s Europe, they frequently talk about the “French race”, the “German race” or the “English race”. When the Nazis talked about the “uber race”, they didn’t mean white people, but instead meant German people. They saw the French, the English and so on as inferior races. (Which makes the concept of neonazis from other countries than Germany quite absurd.)
In the USA, there weren’t enough people of one nationality to dominate the area, so they had to band together and create a “shared white identity”, so their us-vs-them became roughly equivalent to the continent of origin.
Since “race” doesn’t have any actual definition apart from us-vs-them, it can be adapted to whatever makes sense right now.
A “white person” can be someone who looks vaguely white. It could be someone where the majority of their ancestors come from a certain part of the world (e.g. excluding Ireland, Eastern Europe, North Africa, … even though they might look indistinguishable from people from e.g. Western Europe). It could be someone where every single one of their ancestors come from a certain part of the world. It could even be just people of a certain socio-economic group. You could even define that “true whiteness” requires a certain political affiliation.

(Which makes the concept of neonazis from other countries than Germany quite absurd.)
Downton Abbey has at least one instance of this, referring to the “German race” just slightly post WW2. It caught me off guard but now makes sense in light of your comment.
Uh, not really. Puerto Ricans are mostly pretty squarely in the Latino category. There’s an entire play and movie about this called West Side Story.
But look at him, he’s whiter than Trump!
most Puerto Ricans are tri-racial with their genetic makeup skewing towards towards African. the three groups that led us to now are the indigenous Taino who were enslaved by Christopher Columbus, enslaved Africans, and as you mentioned the Spanish. i don’t know a single boricua who identifies as white. i’m sure they’re out there, but they’re just not who i’m knowing. but either way, white supremacy guages whiteness by proximity to power within a color coded society. so like… even if Bad Bunny were 100 of spanish descent it’d be as you say, similar to how the Irish, Italians, Romani, Jews, and Ukrainians aren’t white under the framework of american white supremacy.
it’s also important to know that white supremacy isn’t a uniquely western European or so called united states thing. the all time promoting white supremacy champs are:
- the so called united states
- great Britain
- Germany
- Italy
- Russia
- Israel
- China
- Japan
China promotes White Supremacy?
As someone who has lived in Puerto Rico, and whose mom was born and raised there of immigrants from Mandatory Iraq during WW2, I’d say about 20-30% of people in Puerto Rico consider themselves white.
The CCP promotes Han supremacy; it’s literally encoded in the Chinese constitution that the leader has to be a Han and the deputy has to be of other ethnicities. I learned about that while debating with a supremacist to justify their ideology and the slogan “[insert race/ethnicity/nationality] for [insert any given place]”. That is why lot of white supremacists look to Japan and China, to a certain extent, about keeping “homogeneous” and “native”. But white supremacists conveniently ignore that China is ethnically and linguistically diverse even with 90% Han population making up the Chinese demographic, and the Japanese came to Japan later, with Ainus being there first.
What supremacists really mean to say is that “might makes right. We may have actually come later to the land, but we displaced the original settlers by force. We ain’t gonna let others do the same to us.” I’m kinda glad I am born South East Asian, there is relative harmony among different groups.
Can you actually quote their constitution for me, in Chinese from the direct source please? I don’t believe you.
It’s been a long time and I can’t find the source now, although I distinctly remember reading the part of the constitution while debating with the said supremacist. I admit, either it may have been the party’s constitution or China’s constitution itself.
White supremacy probably not but racial supremacy is 100% true.
the Han demographic exist in proximity to power in a color coded society
Do you have any evidence?
China is 70% or more Han, you can imagine they have a similar issue with their ethnic minorities but far more direct and unhidden.
Your assertion isn’t evidence
Start by familiarizing yourself with this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_minorities_in_China
The Uyghur genocide is widely reported on.
Also I did make a mistake China is 90% Han.There is no freedom of press within China so you’ll not see nearly as detailed coverage with official numbers as you will with other countries.
https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctv80cchq
here’s a scholarly book examining how Han-centric views and narratives shape China’s government
This is literally US government propaganda. The US government and its agents are not reputable or trustworthy and have material interest in lying about China to further their economic position and military industrial sales. I am not American and I have no reason to trust that Americans are neutral or doing good academics research.
They’re not rich enough to count as white, apparently.
I have no idea of their nationalities or whatever, but some of them look pretty white to me? Just tanned.
Many Puerto Ricans are white. I’ve known many people over the years who are blonde hair, blue eyes, or green eyed gingers with freckles, but are as Puerto Rican as they come. Ask your local MAGA turd if they can explain why that might be.
My half Cuban half Colombian best friend is white as snow with blonde hair and blue eyes. When she starts speaking fluent Spanish, people look twice.
She actually had to threaten a lawsuit because she was discriminated at work because of being Latina. No one knew until she spoke Spanish and then her manager started treating her differently.
What the hell is to be white? Is it a culture? A skin color? If that is the case I would be white because I have green eyes, I am more than 6ft and I have light skin, but this isn’t to be white actually I am latin American I don’t get it…
Until I was about 16 I never actually realized what “white” means. I considered turks, arabs, chinese / most asia, europe and America (south, central and northern) to be white. Africans and other darker skin colors were just black. I never really paid attention to it and never really understood the color hatred because our “racism” was just hating other cultures of which morale you do not agree with. I guess Eastern EU is just a different kind of game.
“racism” was just hating other cultures of which morale you do not agree with.
racism was just being jealous of other cultures for whatever reason.
Or that, yea.
at least original nazis had specific criteria for who is “aryan”, i think.
Their greatest achievement in life was being born white. That’s all they have, so they cling to it.
Lol mayonnaise culture is what they care about
mayosapien 😂🤣.
There are at least 3 white people here. This fuckhead just doesn’t see it because they’re dressed differently then they think white people dress.
I was gonna say some of these people look pretty white to me. But then we’re getting into the arbitrary question of who counts as white which is probably way beyond her understanding.
Part of being “white” is getting to decide who is “white.” This is only possible because “white” is a completely made up category. We shouldn’t even engage with the term.
Fair point but it’s so deeply rooted. Don’t we have to engage with it to some extent in order to eliminate it?
I’ll just let my comment above stand as an example of how I think it should be engaged with. You can recognize that it’s a fantasy people have without participating in the fantasy.
Irish immigrants, of all people, weren’t considered white until like the mid 1900s.
Old English saying “The wogs begin at Calais.”
Meaning if you aren’t English you really aren’t White.
Now playing NOFX - Don’t Call Me White
It’s entirely in the eye of the beholder, as white is an ephemeral western social in-group and not an ethnicity. If you think you see white people in this photo, then you do.
To that person, “there are at least 3 people who are clearly at leat white passing”
They’re not white, they’re Irish.
There is an excellent book titled “How the Irish Became White” by Noel Ignatiev. It’s based on his doctoral dissertation and it provides a detailed historical look at just how arbitrary the concept of race really is.
Also, there were black people, but I’m sure this ethnocentric asshole didn’t see them either.
As a Latino I grew up watching movies with nothing but white people on screen. But I’m not a crying like bitch like MAGA
I watched “The Nightmare Before Christmas” once and I swear there wasn’t a real person in there. They want every single one of us to be dead and animated!
same, but im asian. only white people/magas complain about wokeness. Also they have pet peeve with anything that strays from evangelical christianity subtleties in shows and movies.
When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.
“Whenever Poochie’s not on screen, all the other characters should be asking ‘Where’s Poochie?’”
There was some Richard Pryor joke about some 70s sci-fi movie with only whites in it. Think about what that means…
Aren’t most of those people white?
Yes, but I imagine the original poster was thinking Aryan white.
The original poster still thinks “Italians aren’t white”
Lol racists are so stupid, where do they draw the line
Wherever it’s convenient at the time
The US has a very weird take on race.
Race is a weird take all on its own because all humans are part of the same race.
Built a country on race based slavery and segregation, bound to have some mentally short circuiting folks even in the 21st century.
Oh but they meant pale white northern european locked inside without sun the whole day not slightly tan white people
So, like Bad Bunny himself?
Oh you can get quite a bit more pale than that but he is definitely quite white looking
Americans apparently have a very learned eye to distinguish who’s white or not.
Had a bizarre interaction in Texas once where I couldn’t tell an entire staff was Mexican? My bad. Hijinx ensued. Owner was on the hook for my meal/drinks.
I’m Canadian.
I was visiting a friend in Texas in 2015. They were out for the day so I was just kinda wandering around in the afternoon.
Found myself belly up to a bar, chit chatting with the bartenders. Shooting the shit, having a great time. Trump came on the TV and I commented what a knob he was.
The bartender said something somber, like “Yeah if he wins, we all are gonna have to go home”
I sincerely didn’t understand why. I was like “What… he’s going to close the bars??” The guy was like “No… we will have to go home”
Again, I was like “what the fuck are you talking about”
Buddy looks at me like I’m from outer space. I look at him the same way.
He just slowly says “We’re… all… Mexican”. The whole body of staff is gravitating towards the unfolding scene.
“How the hell was I supposed to know that?” I asked. He was like “Isn’t it obvious?”. No? Like they had dark hair. Is everyone with dark hair Mexican?
He was like “did you walk by any construction sites today?”. Yes, I had. “Think back, did the foreman look different than everyone else?”. Now that is really thought back… yeah. He was like, ginger.
At this point, like 10 of the staff are watching me come to the realization, in real time, that I’ve been surrounded by Mexicans like the whole day and no part of my brain registered it.
I don’t even really remember exactly what I said next… but it would have been along the lines of “I’m from Canada. My brain isn’t even wired to distinguish a Mexican from anyone else.” I’m really confused. I’m basically apologizing.
At that point they just burst out laughing. Basically surrounded at this point. They poured me a shot. Then another. They told me my bill was covered. We kept shooting the shit for a few more hours. They kept teasing me for not being able to recognize a Mexican. A relatively famous band was playing there later that night, and they snuck me back to listen to them warming up.
To this day, I still don’t really understand how Americans can distinguish Mexicans. It must be a learned “skill”. It was pretty eye opening talking to them… the fatigue of being treated as “lesser”… even “distinct”. We had a good time.
Story time?
@[email protected] Seconded, we need stories.
Ah I posted it but under my own comment like an idiot.
You’re not an idiot and that story is hilarious. Thanks for sharing it!
If it makes you feel any better, not all Latinos are Mexican, and even Mexicans can’t accurately recognize other Mexicans. I’m descended from Sicilians, so I’m seasonally dark and my dad was dark AF*. When we lived in California, we were regularly spoken to in Spanish by Mexicans and other Latinos who were surprised that we didn’t speak Spanish and in fact were the whitest dark people they had ever met.
*Fun Fact: my paternal grandfather was an asshole and as racist as he was dark (very). Jokes on him - I got my whole genome sequenced and we have a ton of gene variations strongly correlated with African populations. I’m around 25% African by gene frequency distribution, about 10% North and about 15% sub-Saharan African. I’m at least 15% “black”. Hah! Fuck you, Grandpa!
It’s context dependent. When performing at the Superbowl it’s brown. When shooting a black man it’s white.
It’s so arbitrary. I’m “white” and I’m darker than most of the people there by early June. It’d be year round if not for living so far north.
“For 13 minutes, my TV didn’t have white people in the screen. I am getting oppressed!!!” That idiot
Except Lady Gaga.
Lady Gaga is a cryptid and does not count for category reasons.
Tbh I haven’t watched a single super bowl ever. So i didn’t care to watch the halftime show either. I just looked up how long the show was.
Lady gaga being part of it makes even funnier.
I don’t know, this guy looks pretty white…
He’s not leaving much room for Jesus… and with an adult woman. A conservative’s worst nightmare.
Jesus does it from behind.
Brings a whole new meaning to “Christ on a cracker “
i dunno, jesus seemed like a bottom to me. he did tell satan to get behind him.
And he got nailed by a bunch of romans
Maybe he’s more of a switch.
If you let him, he’ll come inside you.
ok bravo. good work i need some braining to out blaspheme that and i am the tired right now
