Need that shirt.
Spoiler: She is also racist, but in a more subtle way.
When I was a manager at a tech company this pattern female white woman was about 50% of our entry-level team. Every single day was a new journey into essential oils, herbalife, astrological signs and dreamcatchers. Their racism is there, it is subtle, but it’s also entirely a product of trying to appease the angry people in their lives.
These women are dim enough to be led to ANY way of thought. And I say this with kindness, they are often good parents and have sympathetic lives and want simple things. But holy shit their families and husbands and partners are literally demons in human flesh influencing them to the worst ways of thinking and feeling, I’ve gotten to witness them in the background on zoom being violent pigs and screaming at their infant children loud enough to pick up on the mic through a closed door.
The one thing that you don’t see that is shockingly common though is the physical abuse. As funny as this cartoon is, it doesn’t show the finger-shaped bruises up and down the woman’s arms.
Ppl pretend like women can be racist. Nah, they’re worse they’re just better at hiding it.
The girl is both my sister’s and the guy is both my brother in laws. They married losers
What about you? Is it 2/3 or 3/3? If you’re hetero that is, and in a couple. Otherwise disregard this question or answer untruthfully.
When her friends confront her: ”But he’s never racist to me or my family”
Honestly I’ve met such a person.
My ex wife. Wait.

This is why the far-right is on the rise because of stupid takes like this.
What did it say?
Commenter said that white people are closeted racists.
As a left leaning poc, I see these stupid comments that only white people are racists; men are all mysoginists; cisgenders are hateful, etc. Instead of actually building bridges, these morons engage in the same hateful rhetoric that bigoted individuals from traditionally privileged groups do. You don’t fight fire with fire. No wonder we are seeing right wing counter culture.
I don’t even understand what group things this, I’m 99% sure they were ragebaiting. Still, true that.
Other races do this too. I have Chinese friends and family who are deeply racist against anyone not Chinese.
My only thing I know about Salon is that at one point, they had a piece about how depressing it was to live in a hacker house, and I was like “wait. I lived in this exact apartment”. I remembered the Pinterest guy who lived in the closet. That was slightly surreal.
Him being a part of every third heterosexual couple must mean he has a lot of fem presenting partners. I’m sceptical of all of them being of an ethnicity he approves of…
Text should read “every third American couple”. I dont think this applies anywhere else and has anything to do with sexuality…
Hey now, in Poland it’s like every other couple
Youre right, it probably applies in other regions, but definitely not everywhere
Yeah, racism is considered normal in many parts of the world and you wouldn’t have a progressive spouse/partner, they’d both be racist.
Only Americans can be racist?
We don’t even come close to the racism in places like Europe, either.
Eh, I’ve traveled a lot, and while people in places like the US west/east coasts tend to be a lot less racist, the entire middle/south of the US are just as racist as most places in Europe and Asia. Growing up, I was sold the narrative that European countries had little to no racism, and the US is the problem. But racism is everywhere, and not just the mild racism that the US coasts get, but like, openly telling a stranger to watch out for <insert racial slur> because they are going about ruining <neighborhood/city/country/etc.> I will say that anecdotally, the US west coast is the least blatantly racist, but you can see systemic racism literally everywhere.
… maybe you should talk to some minorities from other countries. I mean people who are minorities within their own country.
You mean like my community?
As a hetero person I can say it 100% applies in Texas
Do Czech people read Salon?
Only non-hetero people
It’s even worse when it’s a mixed race couple!
(Source: I’m in a mixed race relationship)So… are you the most racist man alive?
You didn’t get the Salon article?
Real men read Saloon
Yes, and I blame my wife for it.
Casting aspersions much? The vast majority of couples I know are hetero, and not one person is like either of these caricatures. Let’s not pretend sexual preference has anything to do with these stereotypes. It’s more likely to be the culture or social system you are familiar with.
This means YOU are the third couple of course /j
You got it!
It’s a joke
Seriously. Some people need to relax lmao
Are you claiming to know a representative set of Americans, and 1/3 of that representative set is not racist?
I think you’re suffering from selection bias…

Yes.

Ok but why not use the original and not the jpeged to fuck version?
Pixels? In this economy?
ELI5
I think the gag is that this person reading Salon, a progressive media outlet, is a person claiming or projecting progressive values yet is dating a bigot. Progressive dating regressive.
Aaaaah thank you very much. That helped
Among Gen Z and Millennial Americans (especially the educated straight white middle class) there’s been a divergence in political affiliations between men and women. But people still couple up, so hetero couples are seeing a lot more combinations of politically engaged progressive women who are in relationships with politically apathetic men (who also tend to be somewhat sexist and racist).
This comic points out that juxtaposition.
Tbf I’m not from America and I still know such couples
Lemmy just bring out the shit chart…
I know that guys.
It’s me guy
Gay hate crime perpetrated
