I want to apologize if I offended any PoC, I didn’t read the greentext correctly and “basketball American” slipped through. I’ve tried to keep my posts as clean as possible and will continue to do so. It’s entirely my mistake and I’m sorry.

Its fourchan, its the most politically correct term they could come up with. I m honestly shocked there is nothing worse in there.
Calling that politically correct is a bigger laugh than how blatantly racist it was in the first place.
Should have called themselves swimmer American for consistency.
Hockey American
NASCAR American.
White people love nascar because of all the whips
White people love nascar for the same reason they love millionaires. They think I could be that and then drunkenly drive their lifted truck home and kill a family with a NASCAR sticker on the back of their truck on the way back from the bar while they listen to a country song from a different millionaire telling them they just gotta roll up their sleeves and work every day like the singer does
Sorry, the whips? I don’t know enough about NASCAR to get that joke, maybe.
Whip is a slang term for a car. NASCAR is professional car racing
Sailor American
That is reserved for the Canadians I think

it’s the usual 4chan racist bullshit.
Bro, that’s the nicest name his years of 4chan addict brain could’ve come up with. 4chan is known for using the hard R N-word very very liberally.
I can’t be the only one that notices the sheer hypocrisy of being offended by racism and deciding to be a racist in turn, right?

If you’re trying to offend or denigrate someone based on their skin color, then yes, that’s being racist regardless of historical or stereotype connotations. That’s literally part of the definition of racism.
lmao be mad
At least I’m not a raging, hypocritical racist, but you do you, buddy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Golfer? Polo player? What’s the whitest sport imagineable in the most offensive way?
(Oh yes colonialism)

A quick gis shows me far too much variety in skin tone!

Oooh good call.
Croquet doesn’t on gis lol
Uh, squash? I think that one is associated with rich white folk the most and has a kinda silly name.
isn’t that the one they keep having heart attacks while playing? I approve of that one on principle
This is tame and somewhat more creative than the other terms 4chan use.
Here I was assuming from that line that this was not in the united states so it was notable that the man was american and also that be was wearing a basketball outfit. Then i thought it was weird they were talking about carrying given that it wasn’t the US and then I just forgot the basketball thing
I genuinely read that sentence as, a famous basketball player.
But calling someone “baseball American” is fucking rude.
Curling-American. Double whammy because I don’t think they do Curling outside of Canada.

I meant in North America, but yeah there probably is a US curling team. I bet they’re all white AF.
The last Curling gold medal was won by Sweden though. And the Silver by Britain.

It’s called “disposing of evidence”. The only reason for him to get rid of the gun is because he doesn’t want to be found with that gun.
Maybe he took the gun back when he got out. In that case it might have just been him wanting the cab driver to have a gun to protect them, and not wanting to be prosecuted for being drunk and shooting if something were to happen.
It’s because IT’S HOT! Dude gotta get rid of it.
Don’t post slurs on Lemmy, shitheads.
Seriously.

The slope is slippery. I don’t want to make work for the mods when people feel right in taking the next step. I like the politically correct greentexts posted here.
Before anyone else can say it, biblically accurate angel.
ew an holo and no flip up sights, jesus seams more of a FAL guy anyway
I expected people on Lemmy be less sensitive than redditors, what a shame
Lemmy is incredibly PC, even more so than much of Reddit. For instance, it prevents you from posting the n word in any form- it’s filtered and removed automatically.
Lemmy is like if you took regular r/politics and r/antiwork posters and gave them exclusivity to an entire platform
Nope and the day this changes is the day you’ll be back to having 30% of c/All be shitty ragebait like fightporn/publicfreakout for dull people (self-proclaimed “non woke” thinkers) to cum their pants and type creative writing assignments in the comments about how these people in the video should get shot
Wait, you just described journalism with the cherry picking as well
