Tell me about it. I still remember the Australian KFC ad debacle that was all about Americans screaming, 'Racist against Caribbean people!' It ended up with more than a few instances of Americans screaming at actual Caribbean people that the way they felt about the ad was wrong and that if they hated it, the reasons were wrong because they weren't the same as the US reasons.

Talk about a head-in-a-paper bag moment, but we cannot keep expecting everybody else to consider our sensibilities first before their own.

I can't tell if you're serious or not tbh

Quite srs. If I phrased badly because I still get all het up thinking about it, that's on me.

Americans are really good at determining who should be offended by what. If you're ever in doubt, as an American. (Though, generally the answer is: if you're white, you have no right to be offended by ANYTHING; if you're not white, you damn well better be offended by EVERYTHING.)

Where does the sexism play into that? o_O

(Or does it not count because everyone is sexist? It's either overt or internalized...)

But what if you're half-white and half-black? ;~; I GET SO CONFUSED SOMETIMES

Haven't you heard? If you have even one drop of black blood, you're black!

Ah. So I should be offended by everything. And if not, then I'm a self-hating racist who has internalized my prejudice. Thanks, wise anon!

do you remember the one where some Americans found out that some British people were doing an evacuee fancy dress party, so they started screaming at the British people for offensively appropriating/disrespecting British WWII history.

da

Omg, I remember that! It was on sf-drama (where else!), oh, it was fantastic!

brb, cringing in embarrassment. *American*

(Anonymous) 2012-11-22 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Lol, yes! That historical baggage has nothing to do with us, but by all means we must tell the British how they're allowed to deal with it.

Wait, what? You can appropriate your OWN culture now, too? SJWs are even more creative than I thought..
