I didn't say that, that was the person I was replying to, but let me see: maybe. It's the intersection of being both white (of European descent) and American (most likely the descendant of genocidal settlers and, if not, at least part of the in group by now) that makes her more likely to act this way because of a personal shortcoming, a flawed character, instead of something else like drugs (even if I want to believe otherwise because I'd rather ignore some things and remain sane and hopeful). Americans are largely confused and propagandised, white Americans are straight up insane and bloodthirsty (else the entirety of American history wouldn't have taken place), at least on average and relative to the rest of the world. This country elected Trump, Bush, Nixon, etc and tacitly accepts or even encourages and fully supports the police harassing, assaulting, murdering and now kidnapping minorities, let's be real for a second and accept white Americans are, on average and as part of the country, "bad people".

Let's put it this way: I've never seen such chutzpah except for in European Americans, and Israelis, of course. I don't think it has much to do with race by itself, or at all even, but more to do with the sociocultural background of these groups (being an imperialist amoral little devil doesn't help your overall attitude, I guess). Correlation, not causation, basically.

Of course it is but this is lemmy
