Your fan favourites live and breathe through the energy of the memes, the strength of good videos, and the cunning of sweet guitar jams.
vekroogur replied to your post “i wish i could feel like this not on the internet i mean its not a...”
The road to being comfortable with what you present in public is long and arduous. Even showing it to the public via the internet is courageous, and you're owning it like a boss.
thank you so much for this. this was actually really encouraging.

nO I HEARD ABOUT IT THAT'S GREAT
Prejudice against a group that isn't oppressed (i.e. white people) can and does exist, and is unfortunate and bad. But it isn't a systemic issue, which prevents it from being actual racism. I'd encourage you to check out Sara Luckey's article on defining (and debunking) reverse racism or Aamer Rahman's humorous (and accurate) take on what makes prejudice and systemic racism different from one another.
I'll look into Sara Luckey's article in a bit when I finish up this thing that is ultimately due tomorrow for a client (FUCK WHAT AM I DOING).
Aamer Rahman's skit on Reverse Racism was really interesting and spot on, though. According to the Merriam-Webster definition, the prejudice WOULD count as racism. According to all else that has been argued throughout the years, it remains a prejudice that is, as you said, unfortunate and bad.
The fact that this must stem from something not everybody is completely aware about, however, and what has been carved into stone thanks to years of history despite how it should not follow on to this generation especially if they are not involved, is the most unfortunate part about all of this in the end.
GET SOME.
