It turns out that people with foreign accents in English are now non-white.
“Imagine!” told me a colleague at the Friday meeting. “People look at us and think we are white just because of how we look. But then we start speaking, and they are so confused! They had no idea we are not white.”
It all sounds insane until you remember that “white” now means “bad.” And nobody wants to be bad. So people invent stupid things like these to persuade themselves they won’t be grouped with these horrible “whites.”
I’m very saddened by all this, people. I feel like a moron trying to explain that equating race with moral inferiority leads to very nasty results. One would think this should be obvious by now. But clearly it’s not. People around me pronounce “white” with the disgust usually reserved for “vermin”. Will we never learn anything?
This would mean that Ukrainians and Russians are not white. So the invasion of Ukraine must be an example of Bipoc on Bipoc violence, which we all know is the product of the racist Fascist American police war on drugs. :p
For the past year, I was thinking that the invasion was white on white violence. This meant that if I cared I was implying that white lives mattered, which is racist. 🙂
