pretty telling that first reation of some here can be summed with: what is really white?

What does being in the US have to do with anything? Racism exists worldwide.

Who is upvoting this shit for real? I see no problem with the original post, and I find it very strange that someone would get this upset about it unless they felt personally called out.

Sounds like a self report, mate.

Um, because perhaps I’m currently living somewhere with only a tiny handful of black people - none of whom are burglars? So locking or not locking my door would make zero difference in the event of all black people disappearing.

On the occasions when I have lived almost exclusively surrounded by black people crime was the last of my concerns - but that wasn’t in a US city.

I’m not upset by the post - just a bit exasperated that ragebait shit like this happens online.

Firstly - how exactly are we defining black? One parent? Both parents? All four grand parents? All eight grandparents? Is blue-black different to brown-black? I mean, really, who is honestly capable of adjudicating such an arbitrary line?

Secondly - the saddest bit is that in China and India, most of the rest of Asia, vast swathes of South América and in the Antarctic… this ridiculous made-up bullshit scenario would have little immediate impact; apart from a mention on the news.

Thinking, even as a thought experiment, the stupidity of this question beggars belief, in my opinion. Maybe it’s a self-tell that you jump on your white stallion to defend this worthless stirring of tensions in possible hypothetical scenarios.

More power to you, brother. Fight that fight… from behind your screen.
