For anyone that is blissfully not on TikTok an American has once again tried to ignite the criticism of the UK over the fact we say “getting a Chinese” when we mean a takeaway because it’s clearly rooted in colonialism and owning people because it’s grammatically “incorrect”.

I am at the moment not getting involved like a respectable boy.

making my own post about this but.

why not check out the specific ways Ireland fucked over communities of color instead of just using american history?

don't bother understanding an incredibly fucked up history of a very fraught place that was being bombed to fuck regularly a spitting distance from the year 2000

nah american history one size fits all!

did the orange parades go after people of color as well as catholics? is that part of this history? i don't even know!

because the research i read about this fucked up practice of terrorizing neighborhoods didn't include any data on how this might have affected the communities of color there!

and instead of looking it up, let's just plaster american history over it!

and double ignore the stories of the people who are being terrorized today!

If you think that you can replace any white characters in fantasy stories with non-white actors because "it's fictional", but then declare that skin color matters only when it comes to FANTASY stories featuring people of color; then you're still an ignorant borderline racist person, but wokely.

What's different between a story set in Germany, Denmark, France, Greece, and a story set in India, Saudi Arabia, China or Polynesia?

That the characters in stories set in Europe can be played by any non-white actors because they are not real? That there were no set of regional laws, no regional culture, no regional religion, no classicism, no racism, no distinct anything?

But stories set in Asia must be strictly played by actors that resemble the "colored people" in that specific regions, because their culture is so distinctive and foreign and rare, therefore it can't be replicated by white actors?

Starting a novena to St. Catherine of Siena that Leo XIV, as his name suggests, will issue a sequel to Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum, combat the Americanist ideology, and restore liberty to the Tridentine Rite.

I seen people using the acronym tsats and being an American and a high school student went "Frick Frick frick" because I thought it was a new kind of SAT. Like there's the SATs, the PSATs, and the TSATS. Thank the gods it's "the sun and the star" 😂
