...Yeah man I'm American, don't worry, you'll never catch me arguing that America isn't a racist country lol. This place fucking sucks, and that's one of the big reasons why.

Like I said I truly do not care about Pewdiepie. I don't want anything bad to happen to him, I wouldn't go out of my way to make anything good happen for him, he's just irrelevant to me and that's fine for both of us I imagine.

Though I will say that if you elect to "not give a damn" about other people being exposed to racial slurs which make them feel dehumanized though, you're an asshole and a privileged one at that. Just because it may not be particularly relevant in your culture (though, back on 420chan [I'm old], I remember Swedish people whining nonstop about the Somali immigrants in their country, so I'm not sure I'm entirely convinced that it isn't a Swedish issue too) doesn't mean you shouldn't care about how it can hurt other people. Especially when said by someone with a global audience, especially when that global audience is largely children or teenagers.

But also, to reiterate my reiteration: I do not care about Pewdiepie and am not suggesting he be exiled from humanity, only that he probably shouldn't do that again. Which it sounds like he hasn't, so... good?
