Where I live, even if it's been misogynistically loaded by :reddit-logo: and related communities, "Karens" are very real, both in my neighborhood and where I go to get groceries. They argue, a lot, and are especially confrontational and condescending with employees. They will fight and demand a manager over a difference in cents or a matter of months on an expired coupon, and snap their fingers to get people's attention, lick fingers when handling their money as a performative thing they learned from TV, and it isn't just a women thing. For lack of an agreed-upon term, "Henrys" are roughly the same thing but dress like 55+ year old children, wear flip-flops and cargo shorts and have goatees to go with their thumb heads, and have more direct threats of violence toward employees for the same setbacks.
The other stereotype involves self-described libertarians. I knew dozens, in fact scores, during college, and many never grew out of it. Speaking of growing up, almost every single one of them at some point argued with me, usually unprompted, that age of consent laws are "a social construct" and that "a lot of teenagers, and even children" (their words not mine :desolate: ) "are easily as logical and capable of consent as adults." Lots of them cited how child marriage is common and normal or even that they had ancestors that had child marriages and dared me to say their ancestors were pedophiles (in one case, I did dare say that. Yes, there was a fight). They didn't agree on everything but their desire to violate teenagers was a consistent trait. :epstein:
JASA?
Just Another South African
Whole lotta white ones
Every time. I've met precisely 1 nice white South African, and they were an ML who did a bunch of [Redacted] shit during the late 70s.
Damn, the song has been beaten.
Woah, it looks like it's been mostly scrubbed from YouTube.
Here it is in it's original context and sketch on Dailymotion.
Oh damn, yes. :my-hero:
One nice white South African I knew was pretty old but also pretty progressive, might have been a commie, I’m not sure.
The other was not that bright but nice I guess. We suspected that English was his second language and that his first was Afrikaans. He was an ESL professor in Asia and spent all his office time on Facebook. Everyone could see in our open office but he didn’t care.
I loved every Black South African I met. Nicest people ever. So warm and welcoming.
An Indian South African matron once. asked me if I was interested in older women.
My experiences were preselected for wealth & whiteness I think, they all came over through the mines . Most all white australians I knew in the mix were surprised at their rigidity toward gender roles & 'tradition', even in the 00-10s.
Had a friend who had come over as a kid whom I loved, could never tell whether to believe some of their stories or not lol
