i was talking about this to a friend the other day but something i see ppl say often that really really pisses me off, is when people start hating on america, but it becomes clear they’re hating not on the state of america, but on the american people- and theyll say something to sort of like. exclude. american ethnic groups, as like a way of being like “yeahh fuck all americans they should all die IM NOT RACIST THOUGH!” except they do that by being like “yeah and there were american ethnic groups like natives and creoles and whatever…uhh but yk those americans. They killed all of them. So they’re not around anymore ergo not included.”
i just hate that. Like if you want to say you hate a whole population of people you have to acknowledge that you’re hating a whole population of people, you cant back out when it starts sounding really racist because by doing that you’re just sort of saying we are either extinct, or our whole continued existence on this land is null. Like either say you hate all americans and include us, or if that doesn’t sound right, then don’t say it at all!
#personal#Its me member of a marginalized american ethnic group#Creole/cajun existence and native existence shouldnt only exist as an afterthought to stop u from sounding like a piece of shit lol#Also when ppl refuse to say “white americans” but add that disclaimer it sounds a little bit like they’re including#Non native non white americans#And I don’t think i like that#Also like. You can hate a country without hating the people#I hate england I dont hate british people#I hate canada and spain and australia and france#I dont hate canadians or spaniards or australians or french people#Like when you start going on about hating specifically the people it is really impossible not to get racist about it
