But I don't think that is equivalent to saying that it's not gaining traction (for the gazillionth time) regardless. And I read that. Sure it's gaining some traction. It's more than just the tweet. A tabloid or whatever you want to call the publication picked it up. I acknowledge what you say. I'm just saying there's no real reason to tweet about it, to write an article about, or to create a GGD discussion about it. That's all. I'm not looking to argue, I'm not popping off, and I'm not trying to attack you. But I'm sorry if you viewed it that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has not done Videos or anything regarding POC on his Channel since it got relevant. Instead he teamed up with Racist Jeffree Star and made makeup, which is not even something he is talented in or has a passion in. It‘s so sad how many passes he gets because he‘s white.

We all get a little combative sometimes, I'm sorry if I was with you As for it being discussed at all, I think I agree with you. When he isn't cancelled, people wait a little while and then give it another go with the exact same evidence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3ARS 4,132 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I will forever hold Shane accountable for this racist mess the same way I hold new youtubers who still use disgusting racial stereotypes as "comedy". The whole "X amonut of time has past so get over it" narrative is so tired and problematic but if it helps you sleep at night then so be it. It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences. - Audre Lorde Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just racism However, White Chicks is funny and I don't see an issue with it. In the case of blackface vs "white face" (in quote marks because it sounds so ridiculous to even say it, not quoting anyone I've seen here ) it's about the history and that's why in this particular case, it's not a double standard for "white face" to exist. Black people didn't oppress white people using "white face" and it doesn't have the same pain and trauma behind it. So I don't think it's a double standard at all. It's about being sensitive to others. White people of the past did it with malice and really hurt so many people, so the white people of today should be considerate and stay away from it However, you can be racist to any race. Discrimination against another race. Institutional racism is something different, but if you killed me because I was white, that would be a racially-motivated (i.e. racist) murder. To argue any different is lunacy. A lot of people confuse prejudice with racism. Racism is based on systemic oppression. This is why you can’t be racist to white people. I really don’t understand why that is such a difficult concept. But then i have to remember at the end of the day the majority is the majority.

Zeth 909 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Every other day something of this effect is posted. I don’t even watch his videos, I just don’t care. Where was this “outrage” when it was posted? Life is so much better without following anyone on Twitter who entertains cancel garbage, honestly.

Because the dictionary definition of racism says something contrary to that belief and does not define any sort of hierarchy of races. It’s applying to all races. The real-word usage of racism gets changed to mold whatever somebody wants to believe at a moment in time. It’s a bit unfair and only causes more divide to insult one’s intelligence because they can’t grasp how the term, “racism” has wrongly been distorted over the past few years.

If we want to be technical that’s what homophobia technically states but that’s not really the case is it I’m not at all dismissing MANY! valid points that the writer of that article brings up, but that article is an opinionated piece. It more so argues why the definition and usage of the word, “racism” should account for more real-world history in its definition than it does currently, rather than dictates how we should all change our usage of the word, “racism”. Dictionaries currently (because this can change) do not take points such as the ones that author brings up into account. That is the reason why I think it’s wrong to try and correct others for using the word as it’s currently defined. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/racism And those who claim it’s fear of gay sexuality/individuals are wrong and should be corrected. With that said, however, I’ve also heard many other gay men try to perpetuate the wrong definition of “fear” behind the word, with intent to belittle those who are wrongly against those of non-hetero sexualities. https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/homophobia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
