      Sometimes the gal can be racist. My friends tried to hook me up with a cute lady who had an amazing accent. Turns out, she was south-african and very quickly let me know that ending apartheid was a mistake because “some people just can’t prepare for modern life”.

      Noped right the fuck out of setting up that date.

      Which is ironic because this is just another form of prejudism against heteros. Heterophobia?

        Only if you think being hetero means racist. Says more about you than anyone else.

          I’m a little confused.

          If I said a 3rd of gay men are racists, I would expect most people to consider this homophobic.

          I would expect the same to apply to heteros. We’re all people here.

          Maybe I’ve misunderstood something, and maybe the above isn’t true?

            You’re absolutely right. The comic above is absolutely prejudiced, it’s just targeting a group that’s seen as more privileged, and thus “punching up” and so it’s ok. BS is what it is.

          Sure sure. So if I made a post essentially saying 1 in 3 black men are violent, it’s only racist if you believe black men are violent. Says more about you than anyone else.

          Hopefully you can see why that doesn’t work.

          Hate is hate. Probably better to just be a nice person than to preach prejudism, no matter who it’s aimed at

              It’s a shame “the golden rule” was already taken. You’ve summed up so many ideologies!

                We could go with the rusted rule. Pyrite (fool’s gold) rule. There are some options.
