A lot of east Asians do fit the upper half so meme needs some addendums.

Whiteness was never really about skin tone or physical features. Remember that the Yanks didn’t consider the Irish white and the Germans didn’t consider Slavs white. Line all those 4 different nationalities up and you’d have a hard time telling them apart, but racism is dumb.

Honestly the use of “whiteness” as a social construct is not helping. People not neck deep into the terminology just don’t understand it, and it’s also not consistent with others.

You can tell them apart, but Slavs and Irish are frequently paler than Saxons.

The addendum is

*only after nationality/ethnicity is known

Otherwise they’ll just shoot us if we speak because they’ll all assume we’re Chinese

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
