The Fedora/Cringe thread

what's that got to do with the generation gap tho?

[hubb]

yeah fair enough i see that now and then (outright racism from scummy british chavs), but im sayin i dont think it exists too much in the way of opportunities and what u can achieve

id say uni is split pretty evenly between colour and cultures and the same in professional work places

It's just not that simple, it's never just one brown guy compared with one white guy.
It's their entire context.

No doubt a first gen patriarch from a developing country will think it's a profound idea that his oldest son goes to liberal arts college and secure the line with his doodles.

ok, i still don't know what you mean though

dad has one tradition from back home

son is presented another one via the educational system

dad doesn't see a future in putting dead puppies in formaldehyde and wearing lipstick

yeah i get that

still, thats not racism on our part

its the dads bias from cultural traditions

the kid could quite easily make a career for himself doodling in england

[m8son666]

ahh ok i get ya

surely thats the same for people brought up within the same culture tho? albeit not as pronounced

yeah and what agent says. surely that's the person moving here being racist not the people in the country he moves into

[hubb]

but he's brown so its more fair that he's a raci...

Someone says albeit and its all over

i think racism is still very much a thing especially in america, its just that it doesnt exist in the form of outright segregation or the KKK any more, now is expressed more subtly in the form of institutionalized, legalized racism, ie privatized prisons and the prison industrial complex

somehow i guess it doesnt bother people that the US has 5% of the world population but 25% of all incarcerated individuals in the world

KKK still exists tbh.
And all countries are as racist as eachother tbh.
That last point would make more sense if you'd broken it down racially tbh.

You don't have to watch a documentary to know that.

Mate, England's bare racist LOOOOOOL
I grew up in London and it was just as, if not more so, racist than the NYC or DC areas tbh.

Having looked that over, I'm beginning to think you took the piss, but I'll submit this anyway.

[wolf89]

I don't get how anyone can be racist in London. There's too many different races/cultures etc. here you'd be angry constantly.

[rickyarbino]

Have you ever been to London?
If so, have you not noticed how almost overwhelmingly grumpy it can be there?

Racism, amongst other things tbf, causes this.


I retract the part about it being more racist, in a lot of cases, the racisms manifest differently.

I've been living here for a month. Everyone is a tnuc but I assumed that was because they have to live in London not because of racism

very wrong imo

[OGLemon]

Well not exactly everyone is equally racist more like there is a level of racism in most cultures/countries.
