      That's wild. I interpreted this as, "other cultures only make good food on the weekends, but Ethiopians go hard seven days a week!" That's a huge compliment.

        people see a Chinese person and look for the worst faith interpretation but then turn around and (correctly) demand white people always give us grace when theres a cultural confusion. like how everyone was correctly making fun of white people for getting mad at jamie fox for using a common black expression last week, but people cant even think that there could be something they dont understand about people on the other side of the world. im banging my head against the wall. i just want solidarity yall. angery and its alway the people living in the imperial core too. like your government lies to YOU about YOUR history maybe just maybe they could lie to you about other people.

          Yeah I never even heard about people getting mad at Jamie Fox but I'm part Jewish and his tweet didn't sound antisemitic to me

          In fact shit like this distracting from actual antisemitism being on the rise, including literal fucking nazis being funded by our government, really pisses me off and I really don't appreciate how they keep trying to drive this wedge between black people and jewish people as well as the way they use sinophobia and asians model minority status to further divide the people

          I can't help feel like there a real effort on behalf of the ruling class to keep us all divided to distract us from our common enemies

            YES! especially since we have had solidarity many times in the past. I love my Asian and Jewish and other minority comrades so much it hurts. Also I didnt even see actual notable jewish people trying to call Jamie Fox antisemitic it was just non jewish white nonsense.

            I'm part Jewish

            I'm genuinely curious, how? I thought being Jewish depended on if your mother was Jewish. Just trying to learn more about other cultures.

      Hey I'm black. Don't kill yourself. I'm not sure putting anything on insta, or even using the app at all, is a great idea tho, lol. It's Meta trash.

      A lot of them probably aren't even Black. White people love their digital Black face. They do it for other races as well, and many of them purposely do it to incite racial division. Recently, I've seen some purported Chinese national on Twitter spewing a lot of anti-Black crap except it was really obvious the person behind the account is a mayo from the obviously AI-generated Asian face to getting basic Chinese history wrong.
