I understand America's history of poor treatment of minorities but what has caused many liberal white people to casually talk as if they aren't white.
Some examples:
- A friend has an eastern European neighbor move in. He says he's glad they are that instead of American white.
- Feeling they are individually responsible for what their ancestors and/or rich and politically affluent white people did in the past.
- Acting as if white people anything is bad.
- Making jokes at their own expense but won't dare say the same thing to another ethnicity.
I don't mean this post as a worm-brained right wing or political discussion, but just seeking to understand this odd internalized behavior I've seen recently.
Rule 3: Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There’s a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it’s vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a “controversial” message for it to be allowed.
I really don't mean this to be about politics but about how people act!
Edit Thanks for the report @lolola@lemmy.blahaj.zone I tried not to frame this in a controversial manner.
