So there are no racist gay people? Lol

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Ok but why not use the original and not the jpeged to fuck version?

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 30 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

When her friends confront her: ”But he’s never racist to me or my family”

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 15 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly I've met such a person.

[–] turnip@sh.itjust.works -4 points 46 minutes ago (1 children)

Just look for whether their skin is white, then you'll know they are a closeted racist.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 1 points 13 minutes ago

Other races do this too. I have Chinese friends and family who are deeply racist against anyone not Chinese.

Text should read "every third American couple". I dont think this applies anywhere else and has anything to do with sexuality...

[–] formulaBonk@lemm.ee 10 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Hey now, in Poland it’s like every other couple

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Youre right, it probably applies in other regions, but definitely not everywhere

[–] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 1 points 52 minutes ago

Yeah, racism is considered normal in many parts of the world and you wouldn't have a progressive spouse/partner, they'd both be racist.

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee 15 points 7 hours ago

Only Americans can be racist?

[–] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

As a hetero person I can say it 100% applies in Texas

[–] 1SimpleTailor@startrek.website 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

This definitely applies to a good number of gay couples in Texas too. Hetero Women do have it worse though. Progressive Southern woman's options are pretty much:

A) Be celibate B) Move somewhere else C) Settle for the Most Racist Man Alive

Hetero Progressive men are unicorns in the American South, and them being progressive is no guarantee they will treat a woman any better. They often come with their own batch of issues and a lot of them are fuckboys.

I’ll just add that to my dating profile: “I’M A NON-FUCKBOY UNICORN”

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Do Czech people read Salon?

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago

Only non-hetero people

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 23 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

Casting aspersions much? The vast majority of couples I know are hetero, and not one person is like either of these caricatures. Let's not pretend sexual preference has anything to do with these stereotypes. It's more likely to be the culture or social system you are familiar with.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Are you claiming to know a representative set of Americans, and 1/3 of that representative set is not racist?

I think you're suffering from selection bias..

[–] underwire212@lemm.ee 3 points 4 hours ago

Seriously. Some people need to relax lmao

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 24 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world -5 points 11 hours ago

You got it!

[–] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Eh, I'm all for equality. Women can be racist too!

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 13 hours ago

Yeah, that's probably why Trump keeps winning the white woman vote in spite of everything he's ever said or done to or about women..

That's a different 1/3

[–] LeFrog@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 16 hours ago (3 children)
[–] exasperation@lemm.ee 9 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Among Gen Z and Millennial Americans (especially the educated straight white middle class) there's been a divergence in political affiliations between men and women. But people still couple up, so hetero couples are seeing a lot more combinations of politically engaged progressive women who are in relationships with politically apathetic men (who also tend to be somewhat sexist and racist).

This comic points out that juxtaposition.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Tbf I'm not from America and I still know such couples

[–] t_chalco@lemmy.world 52 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

I think the gag is that this person reading Salon, a progressive media outlet, is a person claiming or projecting progressive values yet is dating a bigot. Progressive dating regressive.

[–] LeFrog@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Aaaaah thank you very much. That helped

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Lemmy just bring out the shit chart...

[–] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Post stool samples

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 27 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It's even worse when it's a mixed race couple!

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

So... are you the most racist man alive?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 35 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

You didn't get the Salon article?

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

Real men read Saloon

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Gay hate crime perpetrated

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)
[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Some shit or something idk

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

What about bi(F)/bi(M) couples?

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 15 points 15 hours ago

That's statistically more difficult to determine because they might have other preferences towards magazines and t-shirts.
