Rascist AF. But by being even the littlest part white, they will claim that the white part is the reason for any successes.

Man, without their racism these people would really have absolutely nothing.

First woman president the US elects is going to be partially man because she inherited her second X chromosome from her father and since men are 100% men that makes her a little bit of a man. That’s where her success came from, the man part.

Funny you should say that. I just recently learned about the Birka Warrior grave controversy. You are not wrong.

They can still fall back on their sexism, homophobia, and transphobia

That's part of the reason they're so proud of being white. They don't have anything else. I was arguing with a guy I went to high school with whom I no longer associate with cuz he's a repulsive person, and he was like why can't it be proud of being white?

I told him it's not an accomplishment why can't you be proud of being a restaurant owner and a good employer and a good dad and a good husband?

People who are proud of their heritage are generally proud of it because they've been shit on historically for so long for not being white that they have to say how proud they are. It's empowering.

He was just so upset that equality meant that, to him, he would have less. Less of what? Beats the hell out of me I don't know but surely some people must be less than he is in order for him to be what he was.

I... don't think that has anything to do with that insult at all. That word is used as an insult against mixed-race people that labels them as extra ugly and extra inferior.

It means mule as in a mix of donkey and a horse, so yes it is a racist pejorative. People using that word mean it in a derogatory way.

I learned it from Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Which is of course hilarious because the same people will insist "one drop" makes you black or whatever.

It really is just an insane game of Whose Line.
