Non Footy Chat Thread II

Racism isn’t a conscious choice, and of course there’s no ‘value’ in it other than the evolutionary benefits of forming in-groups, which don’t matter to people with sufficient resources to remain independent of racialised in-groups.

But people without those resources, which include many immigrants as well as indigenes and poor whites, do benefit from racialised in-groups. Which is why they’re so racist.

I think you're oversimplifying it a touch. There is an inherent tribal attitude in human beings, but there is a lot more to why this turns into racism than resources. Ultimately it's experience that creates racism, and that includes resources but also education, environment and just general life experiences. And I think there's certainly a psychological aspect as well.

That’s because you’re rich Gronk.

 

[Gronk]

Just about right time to take it off the heat BTW.

That looks like a log. And not a wooden log. The kind of log that ends a pool party prematurely

Asians are the most racist racists you'll find tbh.

Wait, is that racist?

Chinese make shit stuff.
Is that racist

 

[hindy111]

I think Mediterranean Descendants are right up there tbh

Define a Mediterranean Descendant? For me its Italian,Greek and Maltese. But arabs and Yuogslavs try and fall into that Mediterranean Descendant criteria.

As a Mediterranean Descendant im offended

 

[hindy111]

Well then, the world is full of merkins.

Give me some of your money you prick I am battling.

 

[hindy111]

Well I ain't and I don't see the value in racism. But I like to see the good in merkins and I also hate this whole "everything is racist" attitude that seems to be so common these days.

Where's Gary with his fence sitting pic

People gernalise and there are sterotypes. Mediterranean Descendants are tight. Tbh some are super cheap its sickening.
And stereotype are for a reason. Peiple will call them acts of racism. But inless you hate and a person due too race how is it racsit?
Stereotypes are created for a reason.

I agree. Stereotypes can be offensive of their own accord but aren't necessarily racist. Some are, of course

 

[Gary Gutful]

Are these home made beers as good as the stuff I can get from Dan Murphy’s, or just cheaper?

I'd say cheaper.

I dont flip put if someone calls me a smelly big nosed Mediterranean Descendant. If they dont like me than really it is there issue. Doesnt bother me the slightest
