  • We can look at this from several ways, I like the more societal way of it, instead of “whiteness” being whatever someone wants it to be. Is someone treated in the same way as other people from a certain ethnicity? How people perceive them in everyday life (like going to the supermarket or how a cop will see them)? This is more reasonable to argue, as society is always over whatever bullshit some racist invented. With this we can argue from a sociological standpoint, like colorism, etc.

    Did Richard Feynman receive treatment like a brown latino, an indian, an asian, a black person or a white person?

    This is intrinsic to the question of racism and whiteness, not some vague “pale skinned” thing, and more in line with academic work, because IT’S MORE MEASURABLE, it’s based on real things people endure, and on this sense, the “pale skin” makes a complete difference, from the middle of the pacific to Idk, the moon, not some random thing. If you want, I can recomend some very good books about this topic, because arguing based on definitions that aren’t good starting points can’t go anywhere, we need to define things not based on some common sense deffinition, but on observable and logically sound things.

    Angela Davis (for an anglisized point of view) is a good starting point, because she talks about gender too, it’s all related.

    Edit: good starting point to understanding race and racism: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/race/



  • Jewish people come from people who follow the religion, like ethiopian jews, who are persecuted and castrated in isreal, or arabic jews. There are a lot of different people in the world, being different ethnicities. Some jewesh people are white, some aren’t, based on the parents/cultures they are brought in.

    There’s a clear sense in the general populace that whiteness is better, etc, and this is perpetrated from the eurocentric point of view, made for he whole world to “achieve”, even if it’s clearly bullshit, like indians (totally not because of the british (/s)) trying literally to wash their colours.

    This doesn’t even make sense, because we’re all homo sapiens sapies, but who cares, some pieces of shit indoctrinated all societies with that crap to make more money (blacks and other ethnicities were seen as better at manual labour and violent, so it would be better to put them to work as slaves, not because of profit, but because of their inhereted bullshit i just invented).

    Just works should change from mint to cachyos, fuck around and find out should be gentoo, linux from scratch is you building it from literally nothing, not even torvalds do that (he uses fedora).

    Should also have another one, the best:

    OpenSuse Tumbleweed

    I use it on my work machine, against all managerial shenanigans, truly the best distro.

    Edit: I’m drunk, so I’m making the worst comments ever seen
