I can think of a new rearrangement of a racist word that would become the defacto usage.
GINGERS!
no no no, that’s silly. We genocide the gingers!!!
History already showed what happens. 90% chance people start going for the Irish.
And the Irish will start going at Dubliners, and Dubliners will start going at North Dubliners?
To be fair people without brown eyes are heretics and heathens
Pretty rich, coming from a mudeye
Surelly anti-gingerism would become the norm.
(Though maybe that’s just an UK thing)
US too. “I’ll beat you like a red headed step-child.” They were unloved because they were products of rape of Irish immigrants that had to serve as servants/slaves for five to ten years to pay for their trip to America.
you should probably watch south park
Hang out with my asian friends
Literally already happened a dozen times. Some power hungry piece of shit is already trying to convince his (it’s always a man) neighbors them down-the-block Whites are going to kill them unless they donate to the “Nah I’m a good one” fund. You can’t leave too many White people alone. Just look at the Hamptons. Or the US South. Or US history in any window of time.
they already divide by, income, and certain parts of the city/county they live in.
Acting like that’s specific to any group of people it’s laughable.
It’s a class war. Don’t let them convince you it’s a race war.
Start leaving my house unlocked again?
I mean, seriously, ragebaiting in such a stoopid way like this deserves all the
flamingtrolling that comes your way.btw I’m not from the US so my “joke” wouldn’t work where I live anyway.
What are you on ab mate
Just pointing out the futility, in my opinion, of engaging directly with somebody who would non-ironically post this in real life.
It’d be like Yesterday except you’d have license to invent basically all forms of popular music.
Not many black people around where I live so I probably would not even notice
All of Africa would be without civilization, just isolated pockets of Asians and white people on trips to find themselves, now without local guides. They’re all going to die unless the remaining governments organize rescue missions. You would hear about this.
Without civilization, it becomes difficult to sustain farms and mines, so even if governments fly in farmers, farm hands and miners to claim the fields and mines, the plants will wither and the mines will barely run. While I imagine most crops are produced for the local market that also died, African products for the global economy, chocolate, palm oil, gold and uranium, will see their prices shoot through the roof in anticipation of the inevitable crop failure and ore shortages. You would hear about this.
Inevitably, unclaimed land with huge amounts of profitable farmland and mines will receive claims, from China, who invested a lot into local infrastructure, former colonial powers reinstating their borders, or whatever remains of Arabian states whose populations didn’t qualify, and also whoever could fly in some pioneers and reestablish trade routes. That will result in border frictions, skirmishes and maybe full on war. It’s possible you would miss the war, I personally always forget the US-Iran war is still happening, so I’ll give you that. US would probably stay out of that one, trying to restart its own agricultural industry.
I never said I would not find out it happened. Probably hear about it in a couple days because even without all the consequences auch a high amount of people vanishing would be strange and reported on.
I would in my daily goings on probably not notice it because I cannot recall the last time I saw a black person more than just like at a glance. There really is just so few of them here
This is your daily reminder that Irish and Italians weren’t considered white at the beginning of the 20th century in America.
Hell, some people in Europe don’t consider albanians to be white.
Also I’d be very concerned as to where all the racial minorities went. Like genuinely concerned.
Plot twist: Chinese and Indians are not racial minorities.
There’s too many minorities!
Raptured.
With all these immigrants, Heaven for sure has become a bad place, which is why I refused to go there when offered!! When God comes to his sense and remigrate them, I’ll reconsider!!
What, you doubt me? Such a lack of faith! You must be a bad Christian! You’ll probably go to Hell!
People who don’t live in Europe don’t even realise how divided white Europeans are. The Irish and Eastern Europeans are even victims of colonisation.
And forget North America and Europe, just look at Africa and tell me they did not have inter-ethnic conflicts.
The post is very silly and North Americancentric.
Literally Brexit was mostly about Brits not liking other Europeans being free to move to Britain, especially Poles.
I lived in London and unless they actually start talking and you hear their accent (or, even “worse” for the average Brit, their language) you can’t actually tell a Pole from a Brit.
So. yeah, a fucking mid-sized country in the modern era has left a massive European trade union which gave them massive benefits (it has been estimated that Britain’s GDP is growing 2% less every year because of leaving) because of their xenophobia against other Europeans, especially Eastern and Southern Europeans.
And shit Albanians are the whitest anyone could be, being albino and shit
One of my favorite facts was that West Side Story was initially about the rivalry between polish and Italian immigrants in New York and Leonard Bernstein had to rework it because he received feedback that it would be too niche and people who didn’t live in New York in a very specific window of time wouldn’t get it.
This is made only in jest:
Well I’ll have a Coke, then.
Having just come from the “taking things too literally” thread, contexts like these make it fun to deliberately take it too literally.
What would I do if I woke up and there were only white people left? I’d probably think “what the fuck is going on” as I see only white people floating around in empty space, and then I’d die from a mix of lack of oxygen, hypothermia, and lack of pressure.
Though maybe I’d first ask a clarifying question, like if that “black people” was just an example or would there still be like asians, and latinos? Do Irish and Italians count as white for this question? Basically set it up to look like I’m engaging with the question in good faith before taking the “clarification” to the extreme and giving the above answer.
And then poke at whatever new edge cases they leave when they try to clarify again, until I get bored and just disengage because it was a fucking dumb question.
If the brown people were included and werent here, who would pick all the food. It’d be a real problem
The semantical arguments about who counts as “white” already exist and often in very hate filled ways. Alt right “preserve the white race” people already try to bring back the pre world war 2 “Italians don’t count as white” nonsense. And of course tons of Italian Americans are certainly not known for progressive stances
So basically targets would shift?
Don’t forget that WASPs often excluded entire professions to what they considered ‘lesser’ whites and catholics and Jews.
Ben Shapiro once said that Jews might not be good at the NBA like blacks when he doesn’t realize (or does but is lying) that Jews dominated basketball in the 1920s and 1930s. Ironically then as now racism played a role in stereotyping them. Since Jews were seen as crafty and intelligently sneaky this was seen as manifesting in the sport, which often does need deception to get ahead.
They could go further back and not count the Irish either
The concept of whiteness comes from the Spanish inquisition after the fall of Grenada. Being fair skinned was a way of proving without a doubt that you weren’t a jew or a muslim.
My guess is we’d start dividing up amongst religious heritage again. Mormons vs. Evangelicals Vs. Protestants Vs. Catholics Vs. The Real Christians
Also the Spanish discriminated against Muslims who converted to Christian and doubted their faith as true. This was a generational thing since even their grandchildren were seen as suspect even if they and their parents were born and raised Catholic.
Sure but I don’t think the alt right morons on twitter recognize that. They just see olive skin and a name that ends in a vowel and go ew gross different
Huh name that ends in a vowel? Having a hard time thinking of guys names but girls there are a fair amount.
Last name. Sometimes first name like Giuseppe or Luigi but more like Gotti, gambino, etc
Well the Irish would not be white again.
