It actually makes total sense - I just changed my reaction to upvote. The problem with your comment is just that at the first sight it's indistinguishable from a low-effort racist one, and they are much more common.
It is still low effort and racist, "asians bathed more" is weak cope because the world isn't "white people and asians"
It's a truly ignorant statement.
The original is 'unless you're white'
And the bathing traditions I know of in a handful of indigenous cultures across the Americas african Mediterranean and Asian cultures were almost universally either better or in extreme environments and not much worse.
White people are just filthy disgusting goblins. I'll take a picture of my apartment if you need proof.
You're trying to defend reflexively yelling "REVERSE RACISM!"–It's not a good look.
Take your self loathing somewhere else.
Most people learned the lessons of racist societies that broad sweeping statements about arbitrary socially imposed categorisations of people are wrong, hurtful and more disgusting than anyone's bathing habits.
Yeah, I acknowledge that my ancestors (and apparently england to this day) shit in their drinking water because of being disgusting subhuman monsters, plus a self deprecating joke about my housekeeping or lack thereof.
Clearly I am a 'self hating white'. See, @comradesharkfucker@lemmy.ml ? They hate you because they're Nazis. Wear their disapproval as a badge of honor. Revel in their hate. Let it nourish you–the knowledge that you made a bunch of Nazi snowflake bitch babies piss themselves in apoplectic rage.
Yeah, the people articulating anti-racism are Nazis. That makes total sense. /s
'300 years ago sex must have been awful. People wore like a thousand layers and didnt bathe'
'I think that was just a white people thing. I think most people bathed more often and basically nobody else wore that many buttons.'
'Anti-racists':
But it wasn't "just a white person thing" even to the very limited extent to which it was accurate in the first place.
When this was pointed out you leap to the defence of the original joke - not by saying "guys it was just a joke" which would be fair enough but by saying "no white people really are terrible."
And your latest shows you can't, or at least don't want, to separate anyone saying "I think it's not ok to shit on people of any race, even when it's white people" from white supremacism.
You can enjoy the joke and still let yourself get educated about the reality without getting weirdly defensive about disparaging a group of people.
That is totally what's going on here, yes, thank you for educating me.
See, the difference between you and me is I don't believe in judging entire racial groups by the lowest among them.
Okay so I still think you're on team asshole but I need to offer you a high five (I'll wear gloves)
