I don’t this will lead anywhere productive, but alright, first let’s get our terms straight. Racism is prejudice based on race or discrimination based on that prejudice. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism

Right now, there’s this out-group bias. I’m not saying it’s all lefties, but some, even in the government, which makes it systemic. For example, the UK Grooming Scandal, or how in America, illegal immigrants in NYC get housing for free when Americans don’t. (I would very much prefer it the other way around, Americans got housed for free, (Or no one at all, because the government is always corrupt, and they’ll just use it an excuse to funnel taxpayer money to landlords)). Hell, there’s lefties who think we shouldn’t deport illegal immigrants! Even after they commit a crime other than illegally immigrating! For more examples, take a gander at the scholarships available, how many are minority specific? Plenty. How many are majority specific? None. How about homeless shelters? How many are women specific? Plenty (Which is a good thing). How many are male specific? Few. (Which is a bad thing) Hell, the entire saga of Earl Silverman and the first domestic violence shelter for men in Canada is heartbreaking.

I can go on, but it gets tiresome quickly. All of it is pretty racist.

For the second bit, the whole “not helping” bit.

What do you think happens when you send aid to 3rd world countries? Especially on going aid? When you send shirts, those shirts devastate the local textile industry. When you send food, it hurts the farms. Yeah, sure, you could subsidize those local industries, but that quickly spirals out of control. Which factories get funds? How much are the local warlords getting out of it? That sort of thing. If you aren’t fully funding everything for an indefinite period of time, then you’re hurting them.

That’s not to say don’t help in an earthquake or other natural disaster, but it’s gotta be a light touch. Help them back on their feet and then let them go on their way.

I know right? Especially when the other guy is convinced he’s not being racist and he’s helping the unfortunate, like most lefties.

I’m conservative, but I’ve never seen it happen in either direction. Internet arguments are more about the audience than the tankie you’re arguing against.

A division of the Smithsonian is still part of the Smithsonian.

So they aren’t claiming that non-whites aren’t hard working? Because that’s how I read it

The point stands, the Smithsonian has a bunch of racists working for it.

Didn’t the Smithsonian claim that hard work was white supremacy?

Edit: It did. Bunch of racist assholes. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/article244309587.html

I think we’re agreeing?

Fair wages, not stealing wages, breaks, all that is extremely expensive compared to not.

Expensive means less profits.

Do you know why things are made in China? Because safety is expensive. Labor rights are expensive. Environmental protection is expensive. Basic human rights are expensive.

As much “America bad” you have in your head, America still has all those things, and things made in America are expensive.

What sells more, a cheap shirt from Walmart or one from a boutique?

Good. Bring the factories here.

Wouldn’t even be in theis mess if Congress would do their job

That’s not a coup, by definition.

It’s still bad, but coup isn’t the right term

Actually he was never convicted in a court of law. Civil court does not have the same requirements.

Likes lgbtq, doesn’t like spending money.

We still haven’t. He’s not a felon, and he’s not a rapist. You should really actually read the articles instead of the headlines.

Funnily enough, there’s been rapists in office before, like Bill Clinton, a democrat.

They’re talking about the moderates on both sides. I can probably assume you aren’t.

Ergonomic is bad now? Should I throw out my ergonomic keyboard? My keyboard might assault someone!

Dude get off lemmy. Go outside, talk to your neighbors.

Nothings changed, we’re still a giant group of humans. Only your perception has changed.

I’m pretty sure the first one in America was passed by Native Americans about the European immigrants. Tell me how that turned out.

I would argue that it’s not, and it’s one of few jobs that the government is responsible for.
