Him being a part of every third heterosexual couple must mean he has a lot of fem presenting partners. I’m sceptical of all of them being of an ethnicity he approves of…
The girl is both my sister’s and the guy is both my brother in laws. They married losers
What about you? Is it 2/3 or 3/3? If you’re hetero that is, and in a couple. Otherwise disregard this question or answer untruthfully.
Need that shirt.
I know that guys.
It’s me guy
When her friends confront her: ”But he’s never racist to me or my family”
Honestly I’ve met such a person.
My ex wife. Wait.
yes. it’s every heterosexual couple.
Lol what
My only thing I know about Salon is that at one point, they had a piece about how depressing it was to live in a hacker house, and I was like “wait. I lived in this exact apartment”. I remembered the Pinterest guy who lived in the closet. That was slightly surreal.
Wat
Some shit or something idk
What about bi(F)/bi(M) couples?
That’s statistically more difficult to determine because they might have other preferences towards magazines and t-shirts.
Eh, I’m all for equality. Women can be racist too!
Yeah, that’s probably why Trump keeps winning the white woman vote in spite of everything he’s ever said or done to or about women…
#Feminism #LadyBigotry
That’s a different 1/3
“I can fix him” energy
It’s even worse when it’s a mixed race couple!
(Source: I’m in a mixed race relationship)So… are you the most racist man alive?
You didn’t get the Salon article?
Real men read Saloon
Yes, and I blame my wife for it.

Lemmy just bring out the shit chart…
What do pieces of shit have to do wi-Ohhh
Post stool pics
Among Gen Z and Millennial Americans (especially the educated straight white middle class) there’s been a divergence in political affiliations between men and women. But people still couple up, so hetero couples are seeing a lot more combinations of politically engaged progressive women who are in relationships with politically apathetic men (who also tend to be somewhat sexist and racist).
This comic points out that juxtaposition.
Tbf I’m not from America and I still know such couples
I think the gag is that this person reading Salon, a progressive media outlet, is a person claiming or projecting progressive values yet is dating a bigot. Progressive dating regressive.
Aaaaah thank you very much. That helped
Casting aspersions much? The vast majority of couples I know are hetero, and not one person is like either of these caricatures. Let’s not pretend sexual preference has anything to do with these stereotypes. It’s more likely to be the culture or social system you are familiar with.
queers are a lot less likely to do this shit though. for various reasons, many of them based around a much clearer self interest rather than some innate superiority. not that we aren’t also innately superior to the hets.
i have known racist queers but they aren’t hateful with their racism. i think it’s the hateful part that makes it different. one guy I am thinking about is black and prefers white guy partners. He will go off on all his lovers with different people and he just admits his preference is racist but he doesn’t talk bad about other races.
right. he is not The Most Racist Man Alive.
part of it is that straight cis and especially white men were targeted by nazi radicalization pipelines starting really hard in the 00’s on every major algorithm driven media platform, social and otherwise. queers mostly dodged that, partially because the character of modern racism tends to be paired with homophobia, and you can’t really nourish that socially without catching a lot of shit for being queer, but also because it just wasn’t targeted at us. they wanted little reinhardt heidrichs, not little ernst rohms, especially because the nazis had been working to recruit evangenlical christians for decades. evangelical christians: anti quer first, racist second. being racist and queer must be so fucking disempowering.
but also, we’re more resistant to it. part of the experience of being queer is stepping outside of norms, and to whatever degree swimming against the current, opting into a more marginal difficult position because it’s right/feels good/lets you genuinely survive without fucking killing yourself. and all of that makes being an open bigot a lot harder. not impossible, but harder. plus, we tend to be farther left politically because the conservative edifice of the nuclear family as nucleus of society has historically excluded a lot of us from society, and pushing that shit on someone who you want to fuck whose family threw them out is not a good way to get laid, even if yours was cool about it.
there’s also that genocide the american christofascists did to us within living memory. some people are still kinda bitter about that. many of the institutions and social forms we created to cope are still kicking around.
i enjoyed reading your perspective, thank you
This means YOU are the third couple of course /j
You got it!
It’s a joke
Seriously. Some people need to relax lmao
Yes.
me when the
when the shitpost doesnt exactly what i knowVerily
Are you claiming to know a representative set of Americans, and 1/3 of that representative set is not racist?
I think you’re suffering from selection bias…
Gay hate crime perpetrated
Ghayte
Text should read “every third American couple”. I dont think this applies anywhere else and has anything to do with sexuality…
speaking as a lesbian: I am not and have never dated the most racist man alive. QED.
As a straight man, neither have i
how would you know though?
Mostly because I don’t date men either
was more referring to the first part. how do you know? I’m going to go to really unreasonable lengths with this line of questioning, just so you know what you’re getting into.
Oh, I tried sleeping with a guy once, and it was not arousing or enjoyable in the least.
mood. but what about making sure you aren’t the most racist man alive? how do you know? how can a system have full knowledge of itself? how does the observer observe, in this case, himself? what even IS knowledge?
Only Americans can be racist?
We don’t even come close to the racism in places like Europe, either.
Eh, I’ve traveled a lot, and while people in places like the US west/east coasts tend to be a lot less racist, the entire middle/south of the US are just as racist as most places in Europe and Asia. Growing up, I was sold the narrative that European countries had little to no racism, and the US is the problem. But racism is everywhere, and not just the mild racism that the US coasts get, but like, openly telling a stranger to watch out for <insert racial slur> because they are going about ruining <neighborhood/city/country/etc.> I will say that anecdotally, the US west coast is the least blatantly racist, but you can see systemic racism literally everywhere.
Hey now, in Poland it’s like every other couple
Youre right, it probably applies in other regions, but definitely not everywhere
Yeah, racism is considered normal in many parts of the world and you wouldn’t have a progressive spouse/partner, they’d both be racist.
Do Czech people read Salon?
Only non-hetero people
… maybe you should talk to some minorities from other countries. I mean people who are minorities within their own country.
You mean like my community?
As a hetero person I can say it 100% applies in Texas
This definitely applies to a good number of gay couples in Texas too. Hetero Women do have it worse though. Progressive Southern woman’s options are pretty much:
A) Be celibate B) Move somewhere else C) Settle for the Most Racist Man Alive
Hetero Progressive men are unicorns in the American South, and them being progressive is no guarantee they will treat a woman any better. They often come with their own batch of issues and a lot of them are fuckboys.
I’ll just add that to my dating profile: “I’M A NON-FUCKBOY UNICORN”
