I genuinely don't know what makes someone this racist.
Being completely insulated. Living in a strictly white community with conservative norms easily allows people like this to flourish.
Nah, this is far more intentional and less subtle. This is to get attention, for show. To get the ear of Donald Trump and his ilk.
Psychopathy. It’s really that simple. People aren’t people, they are objects in the environment to manipulate.
I think that's sociopathy. I might be wrong though. Then again none of you are real so who cares?
Technically they are not diagnoses, but informal terms that describe Anti-Social Personality Disorder.
In general, psychopaths are born, sociopaths are made.
That's crazy...
Tell that to my Conservative parents.
You douchebag.
Okay, what're their names? I like yelling at bots.
My mum is like this. She's in her late 70s now, it's getting worse and becoming a real problem in our relationship. She has this almost hysterical fear and dislike of immigrants, but she can't really say why. Just random stuff about how they are taking away our traditional way of life. She lives in a very white area, I live in a multicultural inner city, and on the rare occasions she visits she is shocked - "Look, she's wearing one of those hijab things!"
She was always politically naive and a bit racist but never this bad. I suspect it's largely due to the media she consumes and the people she hangs out with.
And for a white supremacist she sure doesn't look caucasian.
Neither did the leader of the Proud Boys
I'm pretry much on board for replacing *ist/*phobic with just plain weird now. Enough of them seem to equate being called racist/sexist/transphobic or whatever with eliciting anger, which is what they thrive on.
There's still a time and place for the specific (and accurate) labels, but many of these clowns are just sad and, well, weird attention-seekers.
I'm with this and have started at it myself when applicable. It also saves you time because it doesn't trigger that 3 hour pre programmed rant even though you said the exact same thing.
The other day in a meme channel of all things, in reply to some dumb Taco Bell "in the ad, in reality" image dude goes off about how the right image is actually a Weiner that identies as a taco, so i replied with "pretty fucking weird to be that obsessed with what strangers have in their takeout bag"
He didnt have anything to say to that lol
You say edgy shit in highschool because it sounds cool, and no one ever beats your ass so you keep doing it.
We become who we pretend to be.
But also I imagine that she’s got little going for her except perceived superiority based on race and hate
Her high school boyfriend must have dumped her crazy ass for a black girl
sleeping with trump might do that
No, she's been racist for a long time it seems. Being a racist sycophant maybe allows you (if it's a privilege) to sleep with Trump.
Not getting picked on enough for their shit takes.
