sometimes, when I am unsure if some action or language is racially insensitive, I convene an advisory council of Dutch football fans.
Gotta love the old “blackface in Europe only has origins in racism but not so much anymore” reasoning. Real bulletproof logic there.
Ah wuld you lookken at die time! Quick, quick, get me die blackfacensten I must participaten in die time-honored Dutch not-racist festivelberg of blackface!
What culture do the dutch have outside of blackface, consumerism and that silly jarjar binks language of theirs
The cheese is good and of course the bike infrastructure is the best in the world. They're also home to Shell, though, so they can go to hell.
Liverpool had a black Belgian player named Divock Origi.
At some point the fans started calling him big cock Divock.
Then a fan at Liverpool's stadium brough a huge banner with him depicting Origi naked with a monstrously large penis. This quickly led to the aforementioned nickname being phased out.
These are the people we should be conferring with about what is racist and what is not.
Silly Americans and their [checks notes] calling out very obvious and damning racism.
If you have to ask if something is racist, maybe just...don't do it?
”Blackface being racist is just an American thing”
Europeans: (CW: racism obviously)
Yeah I'm sure those Dutch football fans in black face don't have any racist feelings/thoughts about the world whatsoever...
And this is why I have nothing but contempt for the Dutch and really all of the Nordics to the exact same degree as what I hold for TERF Island and White Amerika.
