general

yeah, idk how to describe the nuance

Coming from someone who has a tendency to be way too literal: When I say something's "not my favorite," it's usually between above average and good but not great.

So yeah, I'd agree more with Pika, with it being ~7/10

I love that the university does this cringe shit

we are not giving the land back, but we sure will pretend we care

shit wait we post like the same thing all the time one sec

ehh can't find a good example

but like all the time in our newsletter they are like, o yeah this school is built on stolen land

my boss always signs with that at the bottom

we got a lot of natives up here, well really just not alot of non-natives, no one lives up here

its not going to stop

they control most companies, institutions, like all of social media

People of crime

theyve won

what do we got?

Who dude, enough of the antisemitic remarks

some discord servers

youtube comments

ye great opposition

so now that i have your attention

imho tho, i think itll change once the new generation of stockholders takes over

I'm not fully convinced that constantly changing what black people are called isn't just black people trolling white people.

isnt it just that it becomes lame when white people start using it

We called ourselves colored people, then said it was racist, to call us negroes. Then that was racist, call us black. Then that was racist, call us African-American. That was not only racist, but not "inclusive" enough, call us people of color.

Which is somehow different than colored people.

then it went back to black

for a bit

which was the funniest one

I thought it was "BIPOC" now 🤣

It is now, but before that

it went back to just black

sorry, Black

they are very insistent it must be capitalised

Eh, in that case I'll just be like,

sorry, german Ancestry, only capitalizing Nouns.

I think BIPOC is funny because it lets some black people choose not to identify with the rest

It's also complete doublespeak of the talking points of that sphere of people, who say you can identify as any gender, but you cannot identify as a separate race than you are, but the I in BIPOC is black identifying person of color.

everything has to be an abbreviation nowadays btw

ikr?

linguists of the future will weep

pwn dat n00b w/ULHx & WTG FTW

abbreviations have their place, for long things with no shorter term, or for super common use pharases

r0x0rz, b0x0rz...

BIPOC is stupid because Black exists

just say black

POC is implied

Person of cringe

and if you would say you are BIPOC, no shit you are identifying

There's even less of a point when it has "Black" in it.

It makes the set theorist inside me weep

that they have PoC in there when Black is a subset of PoC to begin with

The natural linguistic evolution would have it move from POC to BIPOC to Black, correct?

I wouldn't even have BIPOC exist naturally

since again, Black is a subset of PoC in the first place

so it is implied

I'm speaking hypothetically.

If "Black" never existed.

Hypothetically it makes no sense to go that way no

If we went from "negro" to "POC"

and "POC" encompassed everyone that wasn't white.

since if you are introducing the term black inside bipoc, you'd realize "wait, we can just cut out the POC part"

wouldnt that just encompass everyone

except albinos

...Which, for some reason, includes Jews that are 100% white...

colloquial use of white

being the typically thought of as white parts of europe and their descendants

That's what I was getting at.

not literal albinoism

And yet I've met more white-skinned Cuban natives than white-skinned Spanish natives, relatively.

Yet the Cubans are "POC" but the Spanish aren't.

Go figure.

Did someone say we should make blacks stop existing

Don't hurt yourself on that edge there.

So true

Tragedy has struck the Pika household

my gamerlights are dead

sadly, I am once again without strobing leds
