Why are we so seemingly obsessed with assigning thing into ethnic/race groups?
Human nature. We’re hardwired to form tribal groups around perceived similarities, which necessarily entails excluding people who are different. Overcoming the negative results of this biological wiring is an eternal challenge for us.
Edit: downvoting me doesn’t make the truth go away. This is established science. Humans will form groups compulsively, over literally anything.

Eat my shorts, honky
What’s the most offensive slur for a white person you can think of?
Honky and cracker are all that come to mind. And I find them funny rather than offensive because we’re so privileged it doesn’t feel like a threat.
I don’t like being reduced to a slave owner as my family arrived in this nation as indentured slaves.
From a european perspective this seems weird and racist
From an American perspective, this is weird and racist.
Thought you were about to summon something in the beninging.
Lmao I’m in a huge battle with my autocorrect right now. The dumbest one is that I typed “à la mode” literally one time this morning and now every single time I use the word “à” it’s adding a fucking reverse accent. I have never written à full French sentence in my life. What the fuck Apple?
From an American perspective, this is on point. Especially in suburbia
It’s almost like we have our own culture separated from our Old World cousins. That punchline was pure nostalgia
that’s because it is.
but we laugh about it because being white isn’t a protected status.
Is there a term for when something seems patently racist but also you know first-hand it’s objectively true, so you find yourself looking up racism in the dictionary to see if it counts?
It’s called “racist”. That is what it is called. Racist.
Not really. If the meme had said that white people were genetically inferior because we redo high fives, then it would be racist.
“Being concerned about stereotypes”?
(Even though this one seems pretty harmless)
