The fact that this many people circle dotted this dude's comment has got me losin some hubski faith, no lie. I mean I know the circle dots are overall unimportant, but still, shit you guys. Like when the MRA guy goes around and bitches about racism, the general idea is to NOT encourage his indulgent whining. You can all preach about being thoughtful, so thoughtful and playing devil's advocate, and play pretend, but stuff it. You're giving points to a dude that's arguing semantics. Like I can fucking SEE the same smug shit-eating grin that probably came with pressing the "reply" button after typing this out, like the million times I've seen it IRL. I'm now able to count on both hands the number of times I've seen this same disingenuous bullshit here. "Ugh, 'Don doesn't trust white people, that's so racist. Now I'm going to go to the store and not get followed around in it, then walk down this street while getting to keep my hands in my pockets without any problems, so I can get into my car and drive away without worrying that some cop won't think it's mine." Boo fucking hoo. The projection is real. Do I get to complain about hubski's good old days now? Have I been here long enough? If that's true then get me some protein and call me Akihiko 'cause
I'm not sure if there are many other places where you'll find this type of conversation occur as a result of a two word comment. I'd say the thoughtfulness is alive and well.
This is where things are, dude. Had an interesting conversation with a Colombian yesterday; she told me she doesn't feel safe in East Boston, which is heavily Colombian. Her reason? Because she knows what Colombian people are like. That blew my mind. I don't know if that's primarily a race thing, but the fact that she just assumes that living around other Colombians is more dangerous than living around Americans in America, is weird.
Holy shit, this comment is almost as bad as one of those people that start a sentence with "I'm not racist, but..." You seriously think distrusting a race of people based off the color of their skin isn't racist? Seriously, there's literally no amount of mental gymnastics that can spin such an opinion into a logical conclusion.
And so it begins Edit: bruh it's cool I haven't been on Hubski in forever and I don't forsee that changing anytime soon (I just got Splatoon, you see). I've had my fair share of smug Internet superiority debates about shit white boys don't understand anything about as it is, this summer is mine. Try minimum, she loves fucking with people like you
Man, I'm not looking to get into a debate over you agreeing that saying "I don't trust white people" isn't racist. Like, you can't even debate something like that. I just saw the comment and was so taken aback I had to say something. Please, enjoy Splatoon. I hear it's a great game.
Hopefully this tells you something about the better angels of our nature and the nature of the community here. Overwhelmingly shared: We love you pal! That said, I am growing a bit impatient for some Hubskina... not gonna lie.
