you all have never encountered the wild world of Extremely Specific Racism. This is a world where it is generally accepted that Italians, Spaniards and Poles aren't white, and there is active debate about the Irish. In this world, an English man will happily say that Scots are not white because they're not Germanic enough, unlike him, who is a purebred Saxon.

Of course, the Scandinavians will tell him that he's an inbred island monkey and that only they are the true white people, and anyone else who happens to have white skin has it because of trace ancestry and nothing more. Then the Germans will pop up to go "Me too!", the Norwegians will tell them that they don't count and are basically just Slavs, and the whole thing will break down the first time a Finn shows up because half of them will say he's asian.

meanwhile in the background you also have one Japanese person waving around Hitler's "honorary aryan" quote and a roaring argument about whether the egyptian pharoahs were white or not

And the response:


COWARD. You do free work for the racists by being such a coward. You and the other white moderates are the jewel in their crown; they need to win your complicity before they expand their empire. You are the oil in their tanks; your selfish actions fuel their advance. Do "your daughter" a favor and tell her you've chosen not to be a dad to her because it might affect your little popularity contest. She deserves to know the truth. Jamal deserves to know you place your little neighborhood pecking order above his safety and freedom, too.

Let's hear from Dr. King about the white moderate:

Letter from Birmingham Jail (excerpt)

By Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., 16 April 1963

"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."

You're not just "not liberal", OP. You are the enemy of freedom. Grow up. Be a drat DAD. Get your poo poo together before you get someone seriously hurt with your wishy-washy bullshit. Be part of the solution or get out of the way. And might I add, your parents are who Dr. King meant by "White Citizen's Council-er". How many black people did they attack at soda fountains and city halls? How many have they intimidated out of their neighborhood? Have you even asked? Ball's in your court, white moderate.

I'm looking forward to the followup /r/EstrangedParents whining about how the daughter has cut her lovely family out of her life. I hope her and Jamal have a wonderful life together.

YTA. Has it occurred to you to [edit: uncivil remark] and PROTECT your daughter from the racists you are supposedly so against? Anti racism isn't popular in "the community" when you define that as white people of a certain age and class. It never has been and never will be. Dr King's dream wasn't to ask politely for people to be "not exactly liberal but okay", then give up and abandon black people and their white partners to the wolves if they say no.

furious at both her and me

Scots are even more white than the English, a lot of them are so white they're translucent, until they get a bit of sun and then they turn into Justin Trudeau doing an impression of a native American

quote:

She has been living with us for the past few weeks after her landlord sold the house and she no linger had a place to rent. My mom is letting her stay with us while she finds another place to rent nearby. So, we recently had went to the grocery store together at night with my parents, then she and I were in the car alone for a few minutes since my parents were buying a money order or something like that.

Things were different at the moment and there was just some wierd tension between us. We were talking and one thing led to another and we ended up making out and getting really touchy with each other. After we got home my parents went to the casino (they don’t come back until the next day when they go) so we had the house to ourselves. We ended up in bed together all night and she just went back to the guest room/her room to sleep.

Since the incident, she has been acting shy around me and she hasn’t been as close with me as before. Like we would hang out and watch movies when she was off of work, or we would grab something to eat together and talk. Now, she gets shy with my and doesn’t talk much ir anything. I feel bad and guilty for putting her in this position and I want things to go back to normal. What should I say ? Or should I say anything at all?

TL;DR - I hooked up with my mom’s friend while she was out with my dad, things are awkward now and I don’t know how to fix our relationship

Now this on the other hand might have some merit to it. Scandinavian people have this whole ridiculous viking pride thing, and will definitely all be first in queue to start making GBS threads on each other for not being authentic vikings and speaking like they have potatoes in their mouths and whatever, but one thing that will unite them all is that they are white and anyone with more than a light tan is *insert slur here*. I have loads of Scandinavian friends and I love them all to bits but the way they will just casually come out with a racist howler will never not shock me.

AITA for asking my potential boss to disclose our previous sexual encounters to HR if he is seriously considering working at our firm?

A couple weekends ago, I hooked up with a guy who was in town for work. We spent a wild weekend locked up in his hotel room and I assumed it would’ve been the end of the fling after the weekend.

Turned out he was in town to meet with some executives at our firm for my boss’s position because my boss is retiring. This guy is highly qualified and quite advanced in his career, so I held out hope that maybe he would take up an offer at another place.

Since he left town, he’s been texting me and sending me dick pics. I pretended to be interested to keep the conversation going, so I can suss out whether he is genuinely interested in the position and is serious about coming.

Well, it has become pretty clear that he likes what they’ve offered him and he is serious. So today I texted him asking him telling him 1) we cannot have an ongoing sexual friendship if he is working here and 2) he needs to disclose our previous sexual encounter with HR, especially since he would be in a direct supervisory role.

He was okay with #1 but he was angry about #2. He says he doesn’t want to and isn’t obliged to disclose past relationships. I told him HR is pretty serious about any sort of real or perceived impropriety involving a supervisor and someone under the supervisor’s direct supervision. I explored the reason he didn’t want to disclose. It turns out he has a family and he does not want any gossip from HR reaching his wife and children. He is really pressuring me to keep this hush hush and “let the past stay in the past”.

So yes, I’m shocked (and still in shock) about the family part, but I will deal with it on my own. But am I really unreasonable for demanding that he disclose our past encounter with HR, given the role he will have if he accepts the offer? He’s insisting I’m being dramatic and unreasonable.
