You could tell my having gone to mostly white schools in the past trauma popped out there because the amount of times that fucking word āteasingā gets told to people experiencing racism is unreal and thatās not even mentioning the amount of times that now as an adult youāll hear it from people in your friend groups whoāll claim youāre overreacting
Saying racism is TEASING or immaturity isnāt the same thing as flat out repeating multiple times that Gerrard is the worst version of a human and saying that he MADE FUN OF the minorities
Teasing means to PLAYFULLY make fun of
Make fun of by itself is to RIDICULE OR MOCK ANOTHER PERSON TO MAKE THEM THE BUTT OF THE JOKE
Thatās why racists make fun of people they donāt āteaseā because teasing implies playfulness while make fun of implies ridicule or mockery
Do I need to give you an English lesson????
So yes Ryan saying that captain Gerrard made fun of Tommy and buck and chimney isnāt the same thing as Lou plain downplaying what Tommy did in the flashback eps
Certain white people in this fandom are actually gonna drive me insane everytime the racism topic gets bought up (they said butters my biscuit yes Ik theyre whiteš¤š¤)
For real tho in all seriousness like where is the sense
Also saying that Lou said it in a cameo which you emphasised in all caps vs Ryan saying it in an interview is really proving the opposite of the point you wanna make cos in an interview you can get caught off guard or stumble over words and itās on the record (not that Ryan did because he again said MADE FUN OF HE DIDNT SAY TEASING OR DOWNPLAY IT IN ANY WAY) but in a cameo that you donāt have to do but are choosing to do and that you can reshoot as many times and prepare your words however you want beforehand? Yeah exactly you are proving the opposite of what you want which is that you can pull ten million excuses but fact of the matter is a white actor addressing his characters past participation in racism shouldve considered his words more
Anyways Iām not even tagging this past discourse tags cos I legit just wanted to rant at the stupidity of some posts I come across
#Like imma go on a tangent but my most out of pocket racism anecdote is when I got a white boy make multiple racist jokes#at me flat out call me the n-word (ethnically ambiguous girlies we#get all the slurs and jokes even if they donāt relate to our race but whatever)#and when I went to complain about it to the principal he told me to write a letter despite the fact I was right there#and telling him then when I went and rage wrote a letter within 10 minutes he didnāt do anything for weeks#BUT THEN WHEN I STARTED SWEARING AND INSULTING THE WHITE BOY I GOT PULLED OUT OF CLASS THE NEXT DAY#AND THEY CALLED MY MOM TO A MEETING WITH ALL THE HIGHER UPS#AND THEN SAID WITH THEIR WHOLE CHEST THAT HE WAS TEASING AND THAT I PROVOKED HIM INTO CALLING ME THAT WORD (by being brown ig???)#then my mom exploded at them and told them that they should thank me for using my words#instead of putting him in the hospitalš„°š«¶icon behaviour#also she put the fear of god into them because theyād started to dread any visit or call from herš¤š¤
