You’re also showing your anti-white racism. I WILL report you to the mods.

    Forgive me for seriousposting, but I genuinely feel bad for white people (particularly cishet men) that such a huge proportion of them not only don’t know how to dance, but are terrified of dancing. That manifests in different ways, from being a wallflower to taking an aggressive stance and saying that dancing is for [slurs], but it all stems from insecurity. I mean, entrainment to a rhythm is one of the most ancient of human communal activities, and yet it’s all but locked away for crackers across the Anglosphere! I feel very lucky to have been brought up in a culture where dancing is a part of everyday life; thanks to that constant early exposure, it’s now a way I can let loose and express joy through motion. If we ever get those reeducation camps set up, I propose that we include a basic salsa class or something (shameless cultural bias—I’m open to other suggestions) to improve quality of life and social cohesion.

      I, the whitest white guy in the world, do really enjoy dancing. I came of age when the rave culture was peaking. However the aesthetics of my dance is absolute shit. I just gotta be shrug-outta-hecks about it.

      I’m definitely not saying that it’s easier to be non-white, but I can be jealous at times.
