Someone got Marceline into pumkin Spice
Racism sucks
If all racism was as harmless as “white girls like pumpkin spice” the world would be a utopia.
Like, I’m fairly sensitive to anti-white prejudice. Not because white people are some oppressed minority, but because it absolutely gets tiring having to justify your own existence for being born. But this? Man, this is the equivalent of “Americans like hamburgers” or “German humor is no laughing matter”. It’s okay to embrace a little absurdity, as long as it’s not taken seriously by you or by your society.
This meme is more stereotyping white american girls.
from a place of mocking criticism rather than deep societal disdain
As someone who is partly white, I have pumpkin spice privileges.
are you american? coz this is a comment only americans would make
So you are a proud racist?
Americans aren’t a race?
Americans technically are a race (native american) but that’s not what I am talking about.
Your comment sounds like you are saying racism good
At risk of dipping my toes into an internet argument
Americans aren’t a race?
Your comment sounds like you are saying racism good
This is a bad faith argument. The question of whether the USA constitutes it’s own race,
has no bearing on the morality of racist beliefs
Americans technically are a race (native american)
Native Americans aren’t a homogeneous people, they’re comprised of over 600 unique nations.
if you think that’s bad, wait till you find out about police brutality, chattel slavery and genocide!
People don’t think racism sucks. Too sad!
anti-white racism can’t suck, because it doesn’t exist 🤷♀️
Good thing this isn’t about a marginalized race and isn’t a negative stereotype, so it is hardly racist.
Yeah, imagine if it was watermelons and the sign mentioned black people instead. Harmless, but no one would write that.
The historical context is not the same. The watermelon stereotype is an anti-black racist trope from the 1800s that arose from resentment against newly emancipated former slaves. It accused black people of being “happy to do nothing but eat watermelon”. In comparison, the stereotype of white girls enjoying pumpkin spice doesn’t have the same negative connotation.
TIL. I concur that makes my comparison not so fair. Making stereotypes based on any skin color is still icky though.
It’s even crueler when you remember that newly freed slaves grew the watermelon themselves because they couldn’t afford much. Pumpkin spice is a choice of novelty, not survival.
It’s half off topic, but I just noticed there actually are watermelons in the background of this photograph lol
Also I hope everyone is having a decent weekend! :)
Do you actually think the watermelon racist trope is because black people just happened to like watermelon a lot? Because if you do you need to go read up on it, and if you don’t then you need to stop trivializing the history of racist oppression by equating it with a joke about a snack purchase.
Was about to comment that but you beat me to it, stereotypes are just so toxic on the internet and ppl don’t see the double standard.
They see it. They’re hypocrites and liars.
