it's staggering how so many whites are out here looking for socially acceptable racism substitutes. millenial weirdos are doing racism for cats (r/oneorangebraincell, voidcats), dorks are doing fantasy racism with droids and elves, and some white guys here are still doing weird bits about Italians, Balkans, etc.

The cat thing pisses me off so much. I am unable to express how much I hate that some redditor will come up with a dumb joke like "all orange cats are goofy" and then it becomes an embedded, undeniable facet of reality for a staggering number of people when the joke explodes into a subreddit. Like, it's not a joke for those people now. All orange cats are dumb and/or goofy or whatever. And this happens with so, so many things. Obviously this is a pretty innocuous manifestation of this phenomenon, but it's the same mechanism of human thinking that leads to all manner of horrific, imagined interpretations of reality.

A while back I pointed out how stereotypes about pitbulls were a way for people to sneak eugenics and race science back into the public consciousness and some motherfuckers mocked me and said I was comparing non-white people to animals....

It's still a great post and I put a lot of effort into providing sources and historical context. Pit Bulls, the Proletariat, and Racism. An effort post about a working class icon.
