when will people cough north americans stop generalizing the entirety of continents as one entity? europe is culturally diverse, so is south america, and asia, and africa, and all the little places inbetween like countries in the caucasus?

i’m sure it’s real easy to generalize a whole lot of culturally rich places to make your point, buddy

#ik people like to say ‘white people do this about x continent all the time’ but like #… no. a lot of people do regardless of their identity #AND THIS INCLUDES EUROPE #stop fictionalizing europe as this monotone place with no culture when making your race posts when what you really mean is just england #WHICH btw still has a lot of culture. hate to break it to you but even england has culture #doesn’t matter if the british empire has a horrid colonial history. there’s still culture that isn’t that #how about we stop going tit for tat with cultural insults altogether?#i can’t support making ‘hashtag activism’ posts that are just shitty to a different group of people #REGARDLESS of privilege or percieved privilege #god it just infuriates me. you see how that’s hypocritical right?#‘we can make fun of them because they would say this about someone too’ oh so you’re partaking in the same thing you call racism?#doesn’t matter if a person comes from a privileged culture or not. you’re still doing the shitty thing #vent post #i prefer if you don’t reblog this unless you’re going to be very polite about things #i’m not starting a political discussion i don’t think tumblr can handle intersectionality #this post is for me and my mutuals #and because some idiots would freak out if i didn’t disclose this: no i am not white
