please knock Mom! posted:dude there's annual riots about that poo poo over here They're probably pro-blackface though, right? It's fascinating talking to old Europeans about the first time they saw A Black* as children. Like, it might as well have been an elf or a space alien, it was so weird to them because (Northern) Europe was just super white. Super racist, especially later on, but completely different from American anti-black racism. I suspect this also explains (without excusing) the defence of Zwarte Piet: black people aren't seen as really real. *You know the kind of words they use...

I literally have a limited amount of care credits to spend on caring about things lmao. The attention economy is real. And it's not wrong to point out that people's effort is best spent on the racism occurring in their own countries rather than fussing about how much more enlightened they are than their neighbors across the Atlantic.

i've been trying to pay less attention to american economics and politics and spend more attention on canada's, but it's hard when y'all are right there loving around and then letting us find out with you american racism tends to be more violent than the racism here so it's something my family and friends are legitimately worried about, especially when we have to travel to the usa for work

Like I totally get not having the time and emotional work available to care about all the things, but you're kinda also then putting down other people caring about those things as if they're just trying to feel better about themselves or trivializing their own local bullshit or something and that's real weird.

Look, I do get the impression that the preoccupation with US politics overseas is used as a means for all sorts of hosed up poo poo overseas and I won't apologize for feeling that way. I'm grateful that you understand the thrust of my argument that emotional work is actually something that has to be mustered, and "we can care about multiple things" is a lame argument to the contrary. I don't want to dictate anyone else's priorities and I don't want to put anyone down for having the "wrong" priorities. And certainly there are instances where it was correct for us to devote our energy to e.g. ending apartheid than fighting against the "war on drugs" at home.

The US is unironically the top 2 least racist countries in the world. Only Canada might be slightly less racist. Other countries may act less racist, but that's because their very strict citizenship requirements or outright bans on immigration help keep the locals at ease about other races competing with them. There were more lynchings of blacks in the South post Civil War than pre. Makes you think.

I was not the one who brought it up.
