She said i should see someone who had experience with "extremism" and "racism"

I had to fight the urge to call her a PMC radlib

    Because they don't actually hate white people. It's a white person's world and that's frustrating for people. I don't take it personally because while I am white it's not a part of my identity. They were my friends, they treated me well. Its like how women get frustrated with men and talk about how they hate men, while still having guy friends and boyfriends. Its about what the category of people represents in the world, not the individuals. Tbf when it gets to "kill all men" I don't like it. But, I've never actually met someone who hated white people in a way that hurt our connection.

    Plus, the friends I'm referring to specifically I met at college. A mostly white college where I had mostly non-white friends. It was easier for me to connect with people that weren't white at that school. So it was also about the culture of the school that we had problems with.

    This thread feels weird considering the amount of other threads referring to things like "mayocide" to thunderous applause

    edit: the important bit is that I know that white people will never be genocided or sterilized. If they are it'll be because they were first stripped of their whiteness or because of nationalism. And I've never actually experienced anti-white racism, or if I have its not common or memorable.

      "Unlimited mayocide to the krakkkers" is an obvious joke, talking to your therapist about racially motivated sterilization (and playing it straight when posting about it later) is a little less so. Add in how communication by text strips away a lot of nuance and I'm not surprised its off-putting to some

        I mean context is important everywhere. I'm just choosing to apply the context that I've seen in my life. Saying sterilize white people in a conversation about how ICE sterilizes latinos isn't even out of pocket.

        Its not surprising its off putting to people, its just not all that off putting to me. Like, at first glance the sterilize bit was off putting but I'd just rather be charitable considering what my life experience has been.

          Yeah something like "We ought to sterilize them and see how they like it" tracks. Of course, in a conversation that might get a general "haha yeah" and thing move on, whereas on a forum like this it's just hanging out missing the context of conversational progression
