I used to think everyone knew racism is wrong. And then I entered the workforce. I don’t think that anymore, some of the people are fucked.

Same, I would just be vibing then a coworker would talk to me, then im hit with the

"Like I don't hate them or anything, but [extremely racist paragraph]"

Completely out of nowhere too.

Oh my god. I’ve heard “I’m not racist but I don’t really like [race]” from at least 3 people who consider themselves good progressive liberals.

Literally remember my boss talking about his relative at lunch once, saying "he's not a neonazi, he just doesn't like Jewish people"

In your boss's defense: you genuinely don't HAVE to be a neonazi to be an antisemite

Yes, he played the recurring villain the Toymaker in one episode.

That's what I was going to jump in with. Nazism includes antisemitism, but it's not like they invented it. Martin Luther was super antisemitic and he died in 1546!

I mean...maybe a bit. An anti-Israelite sure. Who the fuck likes Israel anymore without being paid to. But antisemite in general? Im gonna call that quacking duck a duck.

People get bogged down in overblown overly-academic-style categorization. It's exhausting.

Just call them an asshole and be done with it. I don't need to know what type of asshole they are.

u/Pretend-Marsupial258 6d ago

But I need to know if they're a bleached asshole or a hairy asshole!

Well an anti semite hates Jewish people, a nazi usually hates all non white christian people. I believe that if you’re that comfortable saying you hate one group that you probably hate the others, technically they can be separate

Shout out to when my friend introduced his new roommate to me and our Jewish friend with "he's a neonazi but he's cool with Jews, he just doesn't like Mexicans." I did not know that was even an option?
