    I feel I have to point out here that most white people aren’t racist, and don’t give a shit about skin color.

    I know this comment will be down voted yo hell because of course all white people are evil racist bastards, and people of color never do anything wrong, but still…

    This post feels ever so slightly racist. Is racism not racism anymore if white people are the target? I was always taught to just be nice to everybody and that becoming your enemy doesn’t defeat your enemy.

      If you’re a white American whose first response to a post like this is the need to get defensive, I have bad news for you about the cute little “not racist” outfit you’re trying to wear.

      Being racist is kind of like being an asshole in that you don’t get to decide whether you are or aren’t by declaring it- you’ll be informed.

    In no particular order:

    • Mourn the loss of numerous family, friends, and acquaintances.
    • Panic and prepare for the impending crash of my society’s essential supply chains.
    • Existential meltdown at the idea that billions of people can vanish overnight.

    What a stupid fucking question.

      It’s all a bunch of cultural communities with no basis in biological science, who exactly counts as white black brown etc. changes pretty regularly

    This goes for every human population, by the way.

    What, you think only Europe had racism and discrimination through history?
