Your tax dollars at work //

If a conversation about race can only start when I acknowledge a) that I am racist because of my race and b) use some profoundly stupid definitions, then I no longer see the purpose in talking, and I no longer see the purpose in caring to talk. Demanding that I engage in some sort of racial equivalent of a Maoist struggle session as the price for you thinking I’m not racist simply makes me want to tell you to f*** right off. It is not going to happen. The downstream effects are going to be something the clowns producing this propaganda will not like. //

So much of this is utterly ridiculous. Scientific method=whiteness? Wife is homemaker and subordinate to the husband is Whiteness? Planning for the future is Whiteness? Bland food is Whiteness?

This is not a list of cultural norms; it is a list of counterfactual nonsense and racial stereotypes that aren’t really racial at all. Most of them are the marks of most cultures across geography and time. Some, like conceptions of time, are products of the industrial age and arise wherever there are trains or factories. //

Rod Dreher at American Conservative observes:

What kind of neighborhood would you expect to have if most of the people in it devalued hard work, rejected the idea that they needed to be on time, refused to defer gratification, did not respect authority, sought out conflict, laughed at politeness, rejected the traditional family model, and so forth? You’d have communities that were beset by crime and generational poverty, without the cultural tools to overcome the chaos. //

Racist drivel no matter how you look at it.

A) Many of the points are long-gone aspects of American culture and most subcultures.

B) Many points are, due to (A) or for other reasons, simply racist, sexist or culturist tropes in and of themselves.

C) One of the easiest ways to highlight a racist position or statement, is to simply flip whom is being described OR the trait being described.

In this case, another method to unmask racism, sexism or culturism is to flip both those described AND to flip the trait(s) described.

Thus, if one is to have the chutzpah to take the chart and flip
from white to whatever and ascribe to them the opposite of the traits described
they would be painting a picture that nobody would wish to attribute to their
culture, race, whatever. //

There isn't another culture on the planet that spends so much time trashing the very principles that gave birth to it.
It's a form of insanity.
