@kissane The other day someone said that me identifying as ‘ethnically Chinese’ while talking about a China specific political issue and how it impacts the Chinese diaspora, was not surprising for an ‘American’ because we are all obsessed with race

@skinnylatte That’s… certainly a take. 😬 I’m not surprised, but deeply disappointed, by the sheer number of people (on fedi and otherwise) who spout this kind of thoughtless, half-baked nonsense. @digichelle to be clear, these folks are everywhere (also on the bad place) but it's more deeply ingrained in the reply guy culture here. you know, the sort of people who think that saying 'race' is 'racism' while ignoring actual racism @skinnylatte Yup. Definitely familiar with the type. And I agree—reply guys on fedi are a special kind of obnoxious. I’ve encountered (and blocked) a fair few of them myself. |
@skinnylatte @kissane this feels like the platonic ideal of a fedi reply guy comment
