So Jordan Peele made a horror movie where the monster is racist white people. https://www.facebook.com/GetOutMovie/ Going through the comments looking for whining about reverse racism almost feels like one of those fishing competitions where they just dump a whole bunch of salmon into a lake.

I Killed GBS posted:Well, for one thing, Eurasians have been getting loving lit up for longer than recorded history, whereas alcohol wasn't really a thing in the americas until it was brought over. There is almost certainly an epigenetic component to the serious alcoholism issues affecting native populations. "Responsibility" doesn't even enter the equation. Much like the study that disproves the black absentee father myth, there was also one that disproved alcoholism among Natives. When accounting for similar incomes white people are more likely to abuse alcohol. Don't get me wrong, there is still a huge issue of alcoholism in native populations, its just has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with the bad environment they are forced into.

Fermented alcoholic beverages and rituals involving heavy consumption of them are fairly common place pre-contact. There is good evidence that the modern O'odham saguaro wine drinking rain calling festival emerged with the Hohokam about 1500 years ago, the Inca brewed and heavily consumed maize beer at feasts, maize beer seems to have been produced in extreme northern Chihuahua by AD 1200-1450, the various Nahua altepetls in Central Mexico all consumed maize beer and pulque, as did the Maya. Basically anywhere humans can ferment sugars they drank alcohol and the Americas are no exception. In modern Native communities alcoholism is high for the same reason it's high in decaying Rust Belt cities, the rural American South and Hawaii: poverty, oppression and a lack of opportunities given by the ruling class.

HOOLY BOOLY posted:But they won't because video games are a ~power fantasy~ so the player character won't be treated any differently at all despite their race and despite the time period.Also it's a Battlefield game so they probably aren't attempting to do something like that because they will be more focused on the shootmans aspect. The singleplayer gameplay they posted was anything but a power fantasy. I don't expect it to go into racial issues at all but so far the tone is looking radically different from before (no idea what it will be like past the prologue). Even if the game doesn't go any further than that, just the fact that it represents the harlem hellfighters at all means overflowing IoSM content! quote:HolteEnder852 days ago quote:Johnny Rico2 days ago (edited) quote:Get triggered2 days ago quote:Aublak2 days ago quote:Bujikun2 days ago quote:Officer Noodle2 days ago just keep scrolling if you really want more, sadly none of this was cherry-picked.

It's totally weird how the Aliens vs. Predator (Rebellion remake, NOT Colonial Marines) game never had this issue, and Frosty was black all along.

Aw man, did I miss racist coworker chat? Because I started working in a small town a few miles away from the city I live in, and the town is known for being a former KKK haven, and all of my coworkers are old and white and I'm constantly just waiting for one of them to open up to me about "the Mexicans". Because they always do, despite the fact that I am Mexican. (I'm pretty pale, and I think a lot of people mistake my last name for Italian.) The funny thing is they all seem to be afraid of going to the city in from. I was telling a coworker I go to night classes after work and she looked surprised. "Your boyfriend doesn't take you? Aren't you scared going to school alone at night?" Another time she was talking about going into the city with friends as a teenager, and how they all thought they were going to die that night after taking a wrong turn and getting lost. This is not a huge city, mind you, there's no rampant crime or anything. But she never seemed to believe that I didn't absolutely dread leaving the house in the morning. I keep forgetting to just play dumb and ask what there is to be so scared of-- gosh, what's over there that isn't also right here??-- so I can watch them dance around the phrase 'black people'.

The office I work for has a stretching room that doubles as a place for prayer. One day, someone took a poo poo in it, and the keen deductive minds of my fellow guards concluded that it must have been a muslim who was in the middle of prayer, and thus could not get up to use the restroom.

I am deeply amused by the idea of someone astute enough to realize that prayer in Islam is serious business but still dumb enough to think that taking a poo poo in a public space would somehow be more pious than getting up for a minute or just holding it.

Every once in a while I entertain the thought of selling some over-the-top dogwhistle product. Bilking idiots who flaunt their terrible beliefs while I make money and donate large amounts to charities they oppose seems like a win all around. I guess while we're on casual racism chat, my wife and I recently ran into an old acquaintance from years back. She remembered us but clearly had my wife confused with literally the only other black person in the neighborhood we used to live in, to the point of asking if my wife was sure she wasn't the one that was pregnant in 2010. Why yes, now that you mention it that sounds familiar but we haven't seen him in a couple years, I wonder what ever happened to that baby  Someone also asked where home was for me while making small talk about the weather because I apparently

BrigadierSensible posted:This is a huge thing. It's even worse than that. Let's pretend Blue and Red are "races" corresponding roughly to two real-world races. If a Blue person spends their entire life around Red people- grew up in a Red neighborhood, went to school with Red kids, had Red teachers, every store they shopped at was owned/staffed by Red people, work in an office where they are they only Blue face in a sea of Red people, etc. etc. etc. Now let's say that Blue person is racist against Reds. With the number of people in the world, and the number of Red people in the world, despite all that direct experience with Red people - they have still encountered effectively ZERO percent of the total Red population in the world. That's why racism is so mind-bogglingly stupid to me. If I have encountered ZERO percent of all the widgets in the world - it's stupid beyond belief to make a statement saying "all widgets are __________". Oh you don't like Black people? How many have you met? 100? 1000? 10000? According to a quick google search, there are roughly 1.3 BILLION people who could be called "black" - roughly 20% of the world's population. You have met effectively NONE of them. Feel free to say "every _____ person I have met is ___________" because at least that's indicative of your direct experience, but as soon as you spill over into "all ________ are _________" you are in fantasy (idiocy) land. I realize trying to use things like "reason" and "logic" and "math" on someone carrying around racist beliefs is futile, but I guess it's my way to hold on to a tiny, infinitesimal hope that maybe they're not really racist - they just don't understand math.
