Reminds me of the excellent book and documentary “coded bias”
It’s simply amazing though how many people don’t want to admit it. I mean they’re not hiding it at all but there’s so many places even here on Lemmy that love to stick their head in the sanding and don’t want to acknowledge how bad it’s gotten.
Bro really wants to steal Truth Social’s userbase for more money. He found out that the left is a lot harder to scam.
Aka products of blue State education systems
Aka “brainwashed.”
There’s gotta be a way to own this word in a positive way; like yeah honestly uni did help me clean house on a lot of dirty habits and prejudices in my brain, what’s the issue?
she cute
Lowk
And that’s all she has going for her
likely the case for both, but I was looking at the boopity boooooop not the booop boooooop.
Nazis are sub human and shouldnt have rights
The only good nazi is a dead nazi
Or maybe a grammar nazi… But I’m not sure they count
Nah, they are necessary evil. (grammar ones)
“A” necessary evil. I know I was baited, and I don’t care.
jesus christ.
It’s actually got nothing to do with race, it’s because of a lack of proper capitalisation and punctuation… right? It surely isn’t racism?
The weirdest thing here to me is that people call twitter an app. Not a site/community/whatever.
It is an app. It is also those things.
Zoomers and later generations mostly interact with Internet services through apps.
And boomers and relatively old generations.
I have older folks don’t really get what a website is, and family kids that don’t either.
Theres a narrow demographic that (as a whole) experienced the “old” internet outside of siloes and apps.
Eh… Never thought about it, people use xitter more on phones now
Yeah it’s a platform for racists and friends of racists (also racists).
But don’t be racist towards them tho!
The first word they did this with was cis. This will keep happening and the attacks will get worse until people act. Leave Twitter
It’s no secret that Apartheid Leon is trying to make everything back to the way it was in South Africa when he was a kid.
I’m sure he already has a very nostalgic flag picked out when the name changes to The United States of X.
Why do they call everything an “app”?
The app is just the interface, the interface did nothing wrong, the entire platform is cooked.
That’s a bit pedantic. App is used interchangeably to represent the whole platform.
I work as a SWE in a team with 15 year veterans at an App company that is a top 10 most downloaded on Android/iOS. We still use the word app this way in tech meetings.
Tech illiteracy
Also, Windows coined programs as apps, so pretty much any application may now be called app.
IOs application? -> App
VLC mediaplayer? -> App
Console videogame? -> App
Website? -> App
Calculator function on a smartwatch? -> App
The fully hardware-based light sensor that closes the blinds? -> App
My cat running to the bowl when I put new food in? -> Soon to be an App
You wouldn’t download a cat!
You don’t need to download a cat. They distribute themselves very well. It’s a feature. Try walking around with psspsspss coming out of your mouth and fancy snacks in your pockets and see what happens.
Cat downloads human in this case.
Potato skins loaded with cheese and bacon? -> App
Trying to download … stupid slow bandwidth! D’oh!
Your cat might see you as an app already!
Kek ok that is funny
wow, so surprised. And after it being a complete tool for getting Trump elected too. Flabbergasted, I say.
I had to check if this wasn’t leaopardsatemyface.
Anti-black? Is that a substitute for “racist” to avoid censorship?
I think there’s more straight up anti-black people than full on racist. The world hates us 😂
It’s possible that they are more vocally anti-black, but it has been my experience that hateful people are just full of hate. They go after the most convenient target, and have no problems with changing to another target if it is just as convenient.
You are lucky enough to not know enough racists because there are plenty who restrict all their hate to one category of human.
Don’t I wish. Frankly, I envy you your optimistic faith in humanity, but it seems a little naive to believe that someone who irrationally hates a group of people for some imaginary reason won’t just find another group and another imagined reason if the original group was to be removed.
That’s a weird sort of if considering that’s not really something that happens. I have no idea how you could even prove that, for example, someone who hates black people would start hating Asians even though they had no issue with Asians before if all the black people on the planet vanished.
It sounds like it isn’t me that hasn’t been around enough racists. Once you have lived long enough to see the demographics of places change, you will see the target of the resident racists change.
Feel free to back up your claim with more than “trust me, bro.”
Holy shit I love telling people my grandma was black when they say racist shit. I do not appear “black” in any way but it usually shuts people down.
Huh?
Which part of that did you not understand?
To be fair, it’s far more precise, being a subset of racism, especially given the context of some racist slurs being filtered while others aren’t, depending on the targeted race.
In today’s fucked up world, it wouldn’t surprise me if anti-white and anti-black slurs were filtered but anti-hispanic and anti-asian slurs weren’t, for instance, maybe to drive nationalism regardless of race. I appreciate the additional clarity.
No. There was racism flung both ways. Only when the black person was racist was it censored.
Anti-black
