Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

Hot take: non-white people are often racist

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

"Often" is a bit too generalising for me. Non-white people can be racist, that's true, just as white people can. Any race has good and bad people.

Originally I wrote "can" but that sounded like it was giving permission to be racist. Nobody should be classifying individuals based on their race. Bigotry is always bad - just because you're in the minority doesn't excuse you from the standards we set for everyone.
