I just got up from conversation with a couple of older black men, that I said “well I got to go back to work and start cracking the whip.” And it occurred to me then that it was probably a really insensitive stupid thing to say.
Sadly, it hadn’t occurred to me until it’s already said.
This is halarious, youre definitely american aren’t you?
Canadians aren’t in america eh? Absolutely no classification we can think of, perhaps a continent or 2 that could describe let’s say a north and south “america” of some sort?
Id encourage you to try and find another true analogy though, and you’ll see it doesnt exist - cause everywhere else’s name is based on where it is
also I gotta edit to add this, I’d love to see where you perceive racism in my comment, just as a readers exercise
are you purposefully misreading my comments? it’s like you’re trying to read the exact opposite of what I said.
you literally said that a group shouldn’t be called what it wants to be because it’s not from a specific region. that’s literally racism. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism
Canadians are called american cause they’re in NORTH AMERICA, not cause US has a monopoly on the classification american.
The rest I’m outta energy to argue but essentially yeah don’t use blanket terms
