Undecided whether “objectified kink” is an upgrade or downgrade from regular xenophobia.

[-] Laser@feddit.de 75 points 6 months ago
[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 17 points 6 months ago

It had a higher ceiling though. Objectification and kinks have some normal-facing sides.

Racism and xenophobia not so much.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 10 points 6 months ago

I thought we agreed on no kink shaming

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

You’re into what you’re into but fetishizing people is still bad.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago

I don't get it. What's the line between being into something which is obviously fine and good and "fetishizing" them? This guy is into Latin moms, I don't see what's so wrong about that

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago

Good question. First, from plagiarism machine:

For Viewing it as Problematic: Focusing on "Latina moms" can be seen as reducing individuals to stereotypes based on their race and role as mothers, which objectifies and disrespects their full identity.

Against Viewing it as Problematic: If expressed respectfully and consensually, a preference for "Latina moms" could be seen as just another personal attraction, highlighting the diversity in human sexual interests.


Now, from a researcher who addresses the second point above:

Why Yellow Fever Isn’t Flattering: A Case Against Racial Fetishes

Abstract: Most discussions of racial fetish center on the question of whether it is caused by negative racial stereotypes. In this paper I adopt a different strategy, one that begins with the experiences of those targeted by racial fetish rather than those who possess it; that is, I shift focus away from the origins of racial fetishes to their effects as a social phenomenon in a racially stratified world. I examine the case of preferences for Asian women, also known as ‘yellow fever’, to argue against the claim that racial fetishes are unobjectionable if they are merely based on personal or aesthetic preference rather than racial stereotypes. I contend that even if this were so, yellow fever would still be morally objectionable because of the disproportionate psychological burdens it places on Asian and Asian- American women, along with the role it plays in a pernicious system of racial social meanings.


What do y’all think?

Engagement and learning usually do end racism yeah, that's pretty much how it works. Why do you think conservatives are so against things like college and inclusiveness? They don't like melting pots.

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 41 points 6 months ago

Then when confronted they'll insist that they're not racist, that they're a melting pot of friendship whilst using the classic line: "Some of my best friends happen to be black!"

my racism ended by it never having started

[-] olutukko@lemmy.world 36 points 6 months ago

my ended by me growing up. in my country small towns and villages had pretty much no foreigners when I was child so racism was pretty normal. mostly just really offensive jokes and racial slurs with no though give to them. so it was pretty easy for all that shit catch in to you. when I grew up a bit and started hangik out in the closest city I quickly stopped all of that shit. I was never racist by heart or hateful towards minorities but all that joking and slurring was so normalized that I didn't really give it a thought until I actually started thinking independently.

I feel sad towards some of the people I used to know who are now young adults and still live there doing the same bullshit and being actually racists

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 11 points 6 months ago

That is what it was like in the UK in the 1950s and 1960s. Unless you lived in one of the major cities,which was like four cities at the time, you didn't really see anyone who wasn't Caucasian.

It wasn't racism, it was ignorance.

[-] sparkle@lemm.ee 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Racism doesn't have to be malicious. It is often caused by ignorance

[-] Retrograde@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

Have one of those quesadillas though and you'll be even more not racist

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

But not more than one, unless you want to do the Gandhi underflow.

I was never racist but i sure was bigoted. It took introspection, which is hard

[-] Liz@midwest.social 37 points 6 months ago

I mean, if anything this is just more racism, but I'm happy anon is happy.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 34 points 6 months ago

This is how fetishes are made...

[-] regdog@lemmy.world 26 points 6 months ago

It would be great if this post would be accompanied by a Youtube link

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 26 points 6 months ago

Man, just be into moms without making it weird.

Fucking 4chan can’t even be into women their own age right

[-] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago

My Latina mom was an abusive narcissist.

[-] Asclepiaz@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

I had a white mother and got a wooden spoon. Always made me wonder if the chancla stereotype was for real? Also hope you recovered from your childhood 🙏❤️

You write like an obnoxious atheist

[-] stembolts@programming.dev 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)
[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

atheists are too narcissistic

Do you mean arrogant? Because I don't think we're narcissistic anymore than we're self-assured

I'm not gonna try to convince you to change your mind, but I will say that a lot of us atheists hold similar beliefs in a strict sense within the scientific framework that makes us agnostics with every unknown. I think you've heard of people saying sarcastically that they're agnostic of the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus, right?

In a practical sense we simply don't pretend that we need absolute certainty with an omniscient-level of understanding to read between the lines of the reality that's right in front of us. Take that as narcissism if you must, but there's no reason to be conflate being self-assured with a sweeping personality trait

E: Also, sorry in advance for typing like an obnoxious atheist

I mean, you literally called the guy stupid and criticised the post for a "complete lack of logic": I agree with the other people that you write incredibly obnoxiously, especially if that's what you regard as "polite". Unfortunately claims of rationality can go hand-in-hand with a pseudo-intellectualism that is really grating when done in earnest.

Maybe rather than consider everyone else racist, you might do a bit of self-reflection and consider why people who clearly acknowledge that the main post is racist (see every other upvoted comment) still consider your post worse than the racism you're criticising.

The greater issue is, racists like to sell their bigotry as rational, all while claim "real racism" is an irrational hatred of other races.

This way, they can just show a few statistics to justify their bigotry, but claim "anti-white racism" is real racism.

It's rather ironic how bad his English is. I'm seriously not quite sure what she did, does she literally just have a cooking recipe and somehow he's turned on by that. Not sure I want to understand.

He's a 4chan degenerate. Not much more to it.

[-] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago

ACKCHYUALLY, it's ethnicism, we're all part of the human race.

I guess unless you're such an ethnicist you don't believe those other people are human?

I love Mexican food so much though; Latina moms too! ❤️

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 16 points 6 months ago

I guess unless you're such an ethnicist you don't believe those other people are human?

Is that too far off from what a racist thinks?
