Racism and xenophobia are a two -way thing

[hashtag46]

The GB is a peculiar place where one comes across both racist slurs against certain minority groups, and SJW's who accuse one of racism over all sorts of nonsense.
And one can't deny that, having had more economic and military power, the white race is guilty of far more numerous instances of racism and oppression of non-white groups.


But let me share the experiences and insight of a white immigrant:

If I came across xenophobic attitudes -and I was lucky that these were just a few-
these were from both white and non-white locals.
And I can confidently say that the latter slightly outnombered the first.


Now why is it that my acknowledgment of my personal experiences attracts so much criticism and personal attacks on the GB?

*Racist comments against blacks are not welcome, BB and JBJ
. Neither are xenophobic posts about myself, RobDownSouth and Emerson40*

I'm a racist. Just ask Phelia. Of course, she also thinks I'm Bert and the Loch Ness monster.

Can we add sexism and make it a three-way?

Well, ermm . . . actually . . . you are the LNM. Those pills were prescribed to make you forget, and to keep you from wondering why you always have to shop at the Big and Tall Store, and why a land-dwelling organism has flippers.

I remember reading this nonsense of yours a few times over in many threads. You seem to have some kind of mental condition and should seek some help.

 

[Ms_Ann]

Have you seen Phelia's black heart?

 

[KingOrfeo]

You saw his feet?

I was sittin' at a table for two
There were four of us,
There was me, your great big feet and you
Oh, from the ankles up I'd say
You sure are sweet
But there on down
Is just too much feet
Oh, your feet's too big
Can't use you 'cause your feet's too big
Ya got me walkin', talkin' and squawkin'
'Cause your feet's too big!

 

[Ms_Ann]

Of course the other side of the coin is tribalism.

Is that what the kids are calling it now?

Just because most people don't like you, it doesn't mean they are things you perceive them to be.

You're right.
I was never that popular with oakies, the GB being no exception.

Just because you pretend to be blind to a cool kid's faults, doesn't make you one of the cool kids.

Dafuq is an oakie? Is that you trying to be 'murican and failing miserably again?

“Before I knowed it, I was sayin' out loud, 'The hell with it! There ain't no sin and there ain't no virtue. There's just stuff people do. It's all part of the same thing.' . . . . I says, 'What's this call, this sperit?' An' I says, 'It's love. I love people so much I'm fit to bust, sometimes.' . . . . I figgered, 'Why do we got to hang it on God or Jesus? Maybe,' I figgered, 'maybe it's all men an' all women we love; maybe that's the Holy Sperit-the human sperit-the whole shebang. Maybe all men got one big soul ever'body's a part of.' Now I sat there thinkin' it, an' all of a suddent-I knew it. I knew it so deep down that it was true, and I still know it.”

I wish I could be like the cool kids, because the cool kids, they seem to fit in.

Now focusing only on my 'negative' experiences (because as I said, the good outweighed the bad by far, and I was treated very well over here):


The experience of a white immigrant in an ethnically diverse country is pretty peculiar:
- Some non - white locals and immigrants consider you to have unfair advantage because of your "white privilege"
- Whereas some white and non-white locals see you as being of a lower social status because you speak with an accent.
(mostly white local women tended to be bitchy when I was young, cuz men focus on other aspects lol))


You can't win:
Just like some of the retards on the GB :
- I'm either seen as a "racist" because I'm white (by the SJW's),
- or I'm treated with disdain: as a lower class foreigner who dares to think of herself as equal to english speaking posters (by RobDownSouth, Emerson40 & cheerleaders)

 

[Ms_Ann]

Do you have one of those forehead dot thingys? That's a real clever idea...like the Sneeches.

Now holding conflicting beliefs (as I described above) and acting in a compartimentalized manner
are pretty typical of the GB.

1.People are being accused of being misogynists by the same posters who:
- indiscriminately defend Islam's misogynistic practices,
- or who make unsollicited, lecherous appraisals of women's parts when they try to "flirt" with them.

2.Or if one criticizes some of Islam's paternalistic practices (ie forcing women to wear burkas, that part of Sharia law that overrides women's rights in divorce) they''re labelled as being a racist or an islamophobe.

3.People are being accused of being homophobes or anti - trans (over nonsense) by the exact posters who harass posters with homophobic or anti- trans slurs.

etc. etc.
