Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”
He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”
He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”
Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over.

I’d miss my wife 🥲
Me too
We’d all miss their wife.
Check to see if the Asian people are still okay.
A more cynical answer is to buy as much property on the south side of Chicago as possible before the prices skyrocket.
Asian people will divide themselves by skin color, features or nationality, too. Not immune to racism. Its partly a survival instinct from the past that is rearing its ugly side.
Absolutely. I was just laughing at the original post forgetting that half the planet doesn’t exactly fit into the black/white classification.
It is hilarious how accurate this is. Coming from a predominantly white country, our peoole have their own way to separate us in groups and hate each other.
I wouldn’t say that POCs wouldn’t do the same. It is just the humanity like this. Any big group if people would find ways to be grouped and to hate other groups. Only small groups will be friendly to each other.
Well, once upon a time, keeping tribes small, and being antagonistic towards folk who behave weirdly, were vital in preventing novel infectious disease from running through the population. We’ve seen recently the risk of a connected global community with COVID-19. The Spanish Flu epidemic also spread widely and killed up to fifty million people.
If your tribe gets an infection and you don’t like anyone else much, then it stays in your tribe, and the rest of the population is safe®.
If we can get past our differences, and develop large enough institutional infrastructure, then centralized disease control uses science and tracking to identify the bug and develop treatment. A good demonstration of this appears in the game Plague INC, in which you play an infectious disease, and watch how the global health sector detects you and responds.
Of course, it doesn’t work perfectly, as we’ve seen, there are vaccine naysayers. There were some during the 1918–1920 flu pandemic, as well. And as we’ve seen with the AIDS/HIV pandemic, if the initial batch of victims are not liked much, it can delay response by the scientific community. But large health institutions improve lifespan and quality of life overall.
Well, you ever heard about Rwanda? We all do the same.
No, colonialism made us like this. This is not human nature, not completely
Okay, aside from the obvious “what the fuck happened to all the people” racist Thanos snap of it all, my real question is this: who is left behind? Because “white” is a made up category. I have 2% African ancestry, do I stay or do I go now? I have some level I don’t remember if Asian ancestry, less than 5 percent. I also have higher than average neanderthal DNA. Does that part count as white? They’re likely European Neanderthals… Go far enough back, obviously, and all humans are African descended.
Where do we draw the line? Because honestly, if there’s some weird racist god out there snapping away people based on their DNA, I need to know the rules so I can make proper arrangements!
Yes, In the early 20th century, Irish and Italians didn’t count, so the O’Reillys and Giulianis that people conservative (xenophobic) America would have a sharp surprise.
Was just about to say “You reckon the magical racist thanos snap would finally recognize north african and middle-eastern and azerbaijani and circassian and… groups as white now or still no?”
Grieve my black friends
Dude, the grieving process just gets prolonged because of how hard it is to make new friends as an adult. Like, great, now I’m sad AND lonely.
They had all the other colors (and even fire red with cool patterns !) and the white people STILL organized themselves by eye color 🤦
Nah, more realistically they’ll just went back to say Italians aren’t really white, then irish people and so on.
Only white people.
Asia: empty
Africa: empty
Maybe southern Europe also empty
Does this fix climate change?
No, we’ll just consume more.
We’re doing a lot of bullshit. Research shows we could maintain our effective lifestyle while cutting consumption by up to 60%
No, because 10% of richest people on Earth (majorly Western Bloc, including Europe) are responsible for 50-66% of global emissions.
For example:
Ethiopian is responsible for 0.14 tonnes of CO2 emissions yearly on average.
A Swede on average is responsible for 3.43 tonnes of emissions.
An American is responsible for 13.83 tonnes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions_per_capita
The issue isn’t overpopulation, not at all, but that we have a bunch of countries with hyperconsumerist economy, a car in every household, high electricity usage, accessible red meat, air-conditioning etc.
White is about 10% of the population. It doesn’t matter much that the 7 billion gone used less than them. 8 billion to 800 million. It feels like it can’t help but reduce the world CO2 output significantly
And then the economic damage of losing Asia is unimaginable. You’ve never seen a depression like that would be. No manufactured goods would be available until Europe and the remains of America bring up industry
In America, they would not have very long before they started having to forage for food.
A majorly significant portion of the workforce for agriculture are non-white.
There may be a few locations that can maintain business as usual, but the world is going to collapse, and it’s not a question of if it’s a question of when, and I’m guessing for most people that will be less than 30 days.
Of course I won’t be there to see it, I will have been raptured along with the rest of everyone, so best of luck.
Find jobs for all the cops?
And covering women’s left hands for being too sexy?
Had my wife look for this exact comment. Was going to have her post this if no one else had.
He thinks he’s so clever. A Stormlight Archive reference, how original.
Yeah, but at least I made it subtle and confusing for non-fans, unlike the other dude who has since just posted a picture of the WoK cover…
I’m surprised the joke didn’t go straight for gingers…
It’s not a joke though.
Right. Good point. The gingers’ absence of soul is well documented.
Yep.
Why jump to eye colour when there’s ‘The Females’ issue to take care of.
Then there’s the categories of weight, and height. Nose length and width. Whether you poop standing up or sitting down. And it’s not just hair colour, you’ve got the frizzies to alienate as well!!Woah, woah, woah, only a …
Fantastic. But hey, my colleague is a ginger and I lived in Ireland. I got my ginger pass, you know? :,D
Where do you all live where there are only two races?
US suburbs classify race as “white” and “everyone else.”
Damn, guess I don’t live in a US suburb then. Damn you, US education system!
The internet
They said “only white people” and gave an example as “no black people”. They could have said “no asians” or “no french”, but that doesn’t matter. The first sentence excludes every demographic except white skinned people.
Nah, it will still be the same, it will just be “white” and “actual white” or you know, all the other minorities that are white, like certain religions, countries, bloodlines, immigrants, etc.
Don’t worry, we have so much bigotry that we don’t even know what to do with it!
Lol I grew up in a 100% white town in northern mn. At the top of the pecking order was your Anglican protestant types, then the Catholics, then the pollaks(yours truly), and then at the bottom was the finnlanders. No one trusted them. They were always starting co-op’s, saunaing naked, etc.
