hellovaliantstudentsandwich replied to your chat “me to white parents: listen, i know u want to have a better...”

This is pretty racist tbh

Sorry not sorry, I can’t take anyone whose blog looks like a porn blog seriously.

(also, racism against who? white people? I’ve covered this (link to the thing that’s relevant). Asian parents? I’m an Asian parent, and this shit is something too many of us do)

Listen, in a conversation about a nation's faults, I'm very willing to call out and diss what my own government is doing.

I'll even give you more context about how it's actually worse than the article that you shared me suggests, and tell you that the issue persists far longer and has far deeper causes and consequences. I'll also tell you that at the very least, I'm trying, as a fucking citizen, to try and make it better.

You think telling me that my country regularly violates human rights? Same, baby. The difference is, 1) I don't pretend for a second that my country's worth a damn or the Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread™, and there's nothing special about my nation, unlike you, and 2) unlike you, I don't hide behind “I don't set policy”, as if it's only your government that's bad, as if your government, as a fucking democracy, is not a reflection of you as an electorate (more so since your country has compulsory voting), and as if you don't belong to the same ethnic and social class that goes off to other countries like colonizing locusts.

Next time don't come into someone's thread and whitesplain.

People who push for “ideological diversity” as a dog-whistle for “why don't they hire more bigots into my office” really don't get the fucking consequences of following their idea to its logical conclusion.

Like, why shouldn't we hire more people who support Da'esh, for example, they seem really good at social media and decentralized collaboration. Why don't we hire that anti-American guy, that Zapatista, that Naxalite, I bet you they'd make great managers and organizers. That insurgent's pretty good at engineering, why not hire them? Maybe that KGB or DPRK intelligence plant, I bet you they're really good at marketing. That cannibal probably has some incredible insights in customer taste, like what they like, also how they literally taste. Why are we sticking with boring white racists and weeaboos? Like, at best they can code really good, and that's it.

Like, go the whole fucking hog, because you've already abandoned the idea that people should have a consensus that other people in their company should be safe, too. Then you can literally have open-carry in your cubicles, Chad, but you gotta be real, and you gotta let Auntie from the Gulabi Gang let her bring her AR-15 to the office to cap your fool ass, if you step out of the line, too. An armed society is a polite society, as you say.
