OMG U R A RACIST!!11!!1
Yay! customers_suck wank two days in a row! This time, however, the topic is racism.

bane_keldare posts about the numerous times she has been called racist for things like following company policy and having to cook food to a proper tempature. Racism topics usually generate wank in customers_suck, but I thought this one was worded well enough that it would manage to avoid wank. Sadly, I was wrong.

All is well until gootube shows up, asking a question that looks simple, but is actually the beginning of a massive wankfest. "Excuse me, are you white??" The OP says yes, and then it gets messy. gootube explains by saying that minorities can't be racist, because rasicm is about power. (just so you know, everytime gootube says POC, it means "people of color." this is important later on) 'tis a messy argument indeed, and people call bullshit, but gootube insists that he is right. He also makes assumptions about the OP, tells his own stories of oppression, and is an asshat. Also, apparently members of customers_suck can tell what race gootube is over teh internetz. This is a special kind of crazy here.

Thankfully, (or sadly?) there is not much wanking from the other members of customers_suck. There are some interesting threads, though, such as this one about how google is racist. The best, however, is this thread, where one member interperted gootube's use of POC as "Pirates of the Carribean" and everyone went on from there. Seriously, read this. It's fecking hilarious.

Also, get this. gootube is a furbasher. Seriously.

ETA: grammar and pronoun agreement lulz

ETA2: (Mentioned over in c_w) gootube has some NSFW pictures in her lj, so be careful if you decide to venture over there.

I don't see the point of saying 'minorities can't be racist' in a reply to a post where no one accused minorities of BEING racist.

Also, if us white people can't call black/coloured/non-white people 'racist', can we call them 'stupid assholes', or is that racist again?

And since when did having an icon of an animal = being a furry? Does this mean people think I am a furry for using Duck icons? Because seriously, I'm doing it because Don Rosa and the Duck family rock.

At least the rest of the customers_suck people bring the funny :D

Er..."coloured"? You're bio says you're located in the Netherlands, is that acceptable terminology there? (In the U.S., it's pretty offensive.)

I love how it's not that she's paranoid, but rather that everyone else is racist. I can actually understand how if you're insecure about something it can become a huge deal in your mind. When people give me "looks" in stores I assume it's because I'm fat, but I am aware that I'm probably not always accurate in that assumption. The truth is, most people are so inwardly focused they are thinking something like "I wish this person would get out of my way" and not "OMG A PERSON FROM BRAZIL WHO LOOKS TOTALLY CAUCASIAN, LET'S ASSUME SHE'S A SPIC!!!!"

I'm not going to argue about whether black people can be racists because I've seen convincing arguments either way and I'm just not sure, but also, who cares what it's called?? Can't we just agree that treating somebody differently because of their race/ethnicity/nationality/gender/sexual preference/fandom/whatever is bad? I don't know why every conversation like this leads to people picking apart the minutest definition of every word in order to determine whether the credit card machine really is racist.

Looking at her userinfo photos, I don't know why ANYONE would call [info]gootube a spic. Perhaps her spicy Latinosity visibly radiates in real life.

I am also disturbed that she has just joined [info]stupid_free, which means she probably missed the recent massive definition-of-racism wank and may well stir the coals again. There's a topic that needs to be shot like a lame horse and dropped into a volcano so that no one can beat it.

Is Missmunchkin hispanic or latina?

It strikes me as odd that there's wank over hispanic/latino and things like "Asian-American" vs. "Asian American", but I've never seen wank about the phrase "people of colour". Surely I'm not the only non-white person who much prefers "minority" to "POC", technically accurate or not.

Also, "hispanic" always looks misspelled to me.

Out of curiousity, isn't Gootube using the current academic logic? I know in one of my classes, that was the definition for racism, but the class also concerned itself with the evils of the patriarchy to an uncomfortable degree, so I'm not too sure.

I love the combination of Gootube's logic, though. Power is such a transitive thing, after all. A few months ago, the Republicans had all the power, so does that mean that a Democrat is incapable of no -ism against a Republican? Could a white Democrat be racist against a black Republican? Can people from the Green party oppress anyone? Or how about religion: are black Christians able to suffer less racism than black Jews, or black atheists? I guess my point is, power changes in every situation, and people are more than just their race.
