Funny how everyone thinks only white people are xenophobic and racist.
Well, in this hypothetical example only white people exist, so of course they will be assholes to other white people.
We could all look exactly the same and all be Christian, and the Protestants and Catholics would gang up on the Baptist’s and Assembly of God and kill every one they can find.
… and they’d by delighted in their handiwork and brag to their grandchildren with pride.

Eight million dead in the 1600s, they didn’t even have AK-47s. Protestant vs. Catholic. Same race.
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”
He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”
He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”
Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over.

Nah, it will still be the same, it will just be “white” and “actual white” or you know, all the other minorities that are white, like certain religions, countries, bloodlines, immigrants, etc.
Don’t worry, we have so much bigotry that we don’t even know what to do with it!
Lol I grew up in a 100% white town in northern mn. At the top of the pecking order was your Anglican protestant types, then the Catholics, then the pollaks(yours truly), and then at the bottom was the finnlanders. No one trusted them. They were always starting co-op’s, saunaing naked, etc.
They had all the other colors (and even fire red with cool patterns !) and the white people STILL organized themselves by eye color 🤦
Lol exactly my first thought.
Where do you all live where there are only two races?
US suburbs classify race as “white” and “everyone else.”
Damn, guess I don’t live in a US suburb then. Damn you, US education system!
The internet
They said “only white people” and gave an example as “no black people”. They could have said “no asians” or “no french”, but that doesn’t matter. The first sentence excludes every demographic except white skinned people.
I can already hear this world’s Charlie Kirk claiming brown eyed people are responsible for 9001% of the violent crimes.
I actually haven’t heard much from him lately
Yeah so basically he had this procedure done that drained all the toxicity out of his personality just over a year ago and ever since then he has become the very model of “the only good kind of fascist”. Incredible growth. I wish all fascists could improve as people in the exact same way he did.
It’s pretty vague and a lot of them are bordering on pseudoscience, but there are studies out there linking eye color to various positive/negative personality traits. Realistically, I think it’s likely linking to genetic markers that are correlated but not necessarily causal but genetics is not my field of study.
It is hilarious how accurate this is. Coming from a predominantly white country, our peoole have their own way to separate us in groups and hate each other.
I wouldn’t say that POCs wouldn’t do the same. It is just the humanity like this. Any big group if people would find ways to be grouped and to hate other groups. Only small groups will be friendly to each other.
Well, you ever heard about Rwanda? We all do the same.
Well, once upon a time, keeping tribes small, and being antagonistic towards folk who behave weirdly, were vital in preventing novel infectious disease from running through the population. We’ve seen recently the risk of a connected global community with COVID-19. The Spanish Flu epidemic also spread widely and killed up to fifty million people.
If your tribe gets an infection and you don’t like anyone else much, then it stays in your tribe, and the rest of the population is safe®.
If we can get past our differences, and develop large enough institutional infrastructure, then centralized disease control uses science and tracking to identify the bug and develop treatment. A good demonstration of this appears in the game Plague INC, in which you play an infectious disease, and watch how the global health sector detects you and responds.
Of course, it doesn’t work perfectly, as we’ve seen, there are vaccine naysayers. There were some during the 1918–1920 flu pandemic, as well. And as we’ve seen with the AIDS/HIV pandemic, if the initial batch of victims are not liked much, it can delay response by the scientific community. But large health institutions improve lifespan and quality of life overall.
No, colonialism made us like this. This is not human nature, not completely
Only white people.
Asia: empty
Africa: empty
Maybe southern Europe also empty
Does this fix climate change?
No, we’ll just consume more.
We’re doing a lot of bullshit. Research shows we could maintain our effective lifestyle while cutting consumption by up to 60%
No, because 10% of richest people on Earth (majorly Western Bloc, including Europe) are responsible for 50-66% of global emissions.
For example:
Ethiopian is responsible for 0.14 tonnes of CO2 emissions yearly on average.
A Swede on average is responsible for 3.43 tonnes of emissions.
An American is responsible for 13.83 tonnes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions_per_capita
The issue isn’t overpopulation, not at all, but that we have a bunch of countries with hyperconsumerist economy, a car in every household, high electricity usage, accessible red meat, air-conditioning etc.
White is about 10% of the population. It doesn’t matter much that the 7 billion gone used less than them. 8 billion to 800 million. It feels like it can’t help but reduce the world CO2 output significantly
And then the economic damage of losing Asia is unimaginable. You’ve never seen a depression like that would be. No manufactured goods would be available until Europe and the remains of America bring up industry
Okay, aside from the obvious “what the fuck happened to all the people” racist Thanos snap of it all, my real question is this: who is left behind? Because “white” is a made up category. I have 2% African ancestry, do I stay or do I go now? I have some level I don’t remember if Asian ancestry, less than 5 percent. I also have higher than average neanderthal DNA. Does that part count as white? They’re likely European Neanderthals… Go far enough back, obviously, and all humans are African descended.
Where do we draw the line? Because honestly, if there’s some weird racist god out there snapping away people based on their DNA, I need to know the rules so I can make proper arrangements!
Was just about to say “You reckon the magical racist thanos snap would finally recognize north african and middle-eastern and azerbaijani and circassian and… groups as white now or still no?”
Yes, In the early 20th century, Irish and Italians didn’t count, so the O’Reillys and Giulianis that people conservative (xenophobic) America would have a sharp surprise.
Probably try to figure out what the hell happened. the majority of the population of earth vanishing would be a bit alarming
White are a minority ? That was unexpected
Only for people who have never opened a geography book.
My theory is that there’s a US flag every few meters in the USA because they are so bad at geography that they wouldn’t know in which country they are.
US? Did you mean the divided states formerly known as the country between Mexico and Canada?
Those of their citizens that would need a flag to know where they are would always just assume that they are in Magastan regardless of what they see around them.
Yep. Here is a cool map to help visualize it in your head.
Cool map thanks
on the shitpost meter, you score 45%
I’m surprised the joke didn’t go straight for gingers…
Woah, woah, woah, only a …
It’s not a joke though.
Yep.
Why jump to eye colour when there’s ‘The Females’ issue to take care of.
Then there’s the categories of weight, and height. Nose length and width. Whether you poop standing up or sitting down. And it’s not just hair colour, you’ve got the frizzies to alienate as well!!
Hair color is easier to see from afar. That’d be first.
Prejudice!
Well, of course. Do you want a bunch of soulless gingers plaguing the earth?
Ginger liberation!
For kids of all nations!It’d start out as more jokes, of course. And then over time you’d have to wonder more and more whether any particular joke was serious.
That’s basically M.I.A.'s Born Free music video. It was really controversial back when it was released but now it seems prophetic.
I’ve lived in a place that was “all white” and they divided themselves up by nationality. Poles, Ukrainians, Slovaks, Czech, Italian.
There would be bars people would avoid because they were harassed for not looking right.
This was in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre at the turn of the millenium. Since then there’s been an influx of Hispanic people and now all the “whites” hate them together.
Ha, stay classy Pennsylvania!
Also Italians weren’t considered white either, in the late 1800s and early 1900s. They were above POC, but barely. They had to “prove their whiteness”. Also Irish were predominantly Catholic so fuck them too. Its why a lot went on to become police, to show they weren’t “filthy degenerate thieves” and served the community.
“No dogs No blacks No Irish”
Hair color is too easy to change. White people really value the immutable
Me chuckling with the inability to tan: “Who’s white now?”
Good news there. My hair is white, too.
We already did that one
Nah we already hate gingers
I’d miss my wife 🥲
I’d spend the rest of my life looking for my kids.
Me too
We’d all miss their wife.
