Commenter said that white people are closeted racists.
As a left leaning poc, I see these stupid comments that only white people are racists; men are all mysoginists; cisgenders are hateful, etc. Instead of actually building bridges, these morons engage in the same hateful rhetoric that bigoted individuals from traditionally privileged groups do. You don't fight fire with fire. No wonder we are seeing right wing counter culture.
Eh, I've traveled a lot, and while people in places like the US west/east coasts tend to be a lot less racist, the entire middle/south of the US are just as racist as most places in Europe and Asia. Growing up, I was sold the narrative that European countries had little to no racism, and the US is the problem. But racism is everywhere, and not just the mild racism that the US coasts get, but like, openly telling a stranger to watch out for because they are going about ruining <neighborhood/city/country/etc.> I will say that anecdotally, the US west coast is the least blatantly racist, but you can see systemic racism literally everywhere.
This definitely applies to a good number of gay couples in Texas too. Hetero Women do have it worse in this regard though. Progressive Southern woman's options are pretty much:
A) Be celibate
B) Move somewhere else
C) Settle for the Most Racist Man Alive
Single Hetero Progressive men are unicorns in the American South, and them being Progressive is no guarantee they will treat a woman any better. They often come with their own batch of issues and a lot of them are fuckboys.
Casting aspersions much? The vast majority of couples I know are hetero, and not one person is like either of these caricatures. Let's not pretend sexual preference has anything to do with these stereotypes. It's more likely to be the culture or social system you are familiar with.
i have known racist queers but they aren't hateful with their racism. i think it's the hateful part that makes it different. one guy I am thinking about is black and prefers white guy partners. He will go off on all his lovers with different people and he just admits his preference is racist but he doesn't talk bad about other races.
I think the gag is that this person reading Salon, a progressive media outlet, is a person claiming or projecting progressive values yet is dating a bigot.
Progressive dating regressive.
Among Gen Z and Millennial Americans (especially the educated straight white middle class) there's been a divergence in political affiliations between men and women. But people still couple up, so hetero couples are seeing a lot more combinations of politically engaged progressive women who are in relationships with politically apathetic men (who also tend to be somewhat sexist and racist).
Him being a part of every third heterosexual couple must mean he has a lot of fem presenting partners. I'm sceptical of all of them being of an ethnicity he approves of...
When her friends confront her: ”But he’s never racist to me or my family”
Honestly I've met such a person.
My ex wife. Wait.
Lol what
This is why the far-right is on the rise because of stupid takes like this.
What did it say?

I don’t even understand what group things this, I’m 99% sure they were ragebaiting. Still, true that.
Other races do this too. I have Chinese friends and family who are deeply racist against anyone not Chinese.
Eh, I'm all for equality. Women can be racist too!
Yeah, that's probably why Trump keeps winning the white woman vote in spite of everything he's ever said or done to or about women..
#Feminism #LadyBigotry
That's a different 1/3
Text should read "every third American couple". I dont think this applies anywhere else and has anything to do with sexuality...
Only Americans can be racist?
We don't even come close to the racism in places like Europe, either.

Hey now, in Poland it’s like every other couple
Youre right, it probably applies in other regions, but definitely not everywhere
Yeah, racism is considered normal in many parts of the world and you wouldn't have a progressive spouse/partner, they'd both be racist.
As a hetero person I can say it 100% applies in Texas

I’ll just add that to my dating profile: “I’M A NON-FUCKBOY UNICORN”
As a straight man, neither have i
Mostly because I don't date men either
Oh, I tried sleeping with a guy once, and it was not arousing or enjoyable in the least.
... maybe you should talk to some minorities from other countries. I mean people who are minorities within their own country.
You mean like my community?
Do Czech people read Salon?
Only non-hetero people
Spoiler: She is also racist, but in a more subtle way.
Ppl pretend like women can be racist. Nah, they're worse they're just better at hiding it.
It's even worse when it's a mixed race couple!
(Source: I'm in a mixed race relationship)
So... are you the most racist man alive?
You didn't get the Salon article?
Real men read Saloon
Yes, and I blame my wife for it.

This means YOU are the third couple of course /j
You got it!
It’s a joke
Seriously. Some people need to relax lmao
Are you claiming to know a representative set of Americans, and 1/3 of that representative set is not racist?
I think you're suffering from selection bias..

Aaaaah thank you very much. That helped

This comic points out that juxtaposition.
Tbf I'm not from America and I still know such couples
Need that shirt.
I know that guys.
It's me guy
The girl is both my sister's and the guy is both my brother in laws. They married losers
What about you? Is it 2/3 or 3/3? If you're hetero that is, and in a couple. Otherwise disregard this question or answer untruthfully.
Ok but why not use the original and not the jpeged to fuck version?
Pixels? In this economy?
"I can fix him" energy
Gay hate crime perpetrated
Ghayte
Wat
Some shit or something idk
Him being a part of every third heterosexual couple must mean he has a lot of fem presenting partners. I'm sceptical of all of them being of an ethnicity he approves of...
What about bi(F)/bi(M) couples?
That's statistically more difficult to determine because they might have other preferences towards magazines and t-shirts.
So there are no racist gay people? Lol
The existence of one doesn't preclude the existence of the other.
