[Mully]

Are you still at the bar?

Nope. Off today. The bar is in Long Beach, NY.

 

[Thug Waffle]

Looks like you found the chink in her armor OP

 

[Windam]

So if I call someone a hipster I'm racist now?

Guess I'm racist.

Time to move to Alabama or something.

 

[shintoki]

 

[adamsappel]

White guy here. A black friend of mine invited me to a party later with predominantly black guests. I'll get to the bottom of this and ask which slur is more offensive and report back.

You have black friends? You're the most racist one of all!

Anyone that uses the word hipster is literally worse than Hitler!

Lol...

 

[Jhoan]

Mully threads are always fun. It's unsurprising to get a share of stuck up people that get offended at the slightest innocent question let alone a hipster in NY. I wouldn't get offended if someone called me a hipster since it's just a word for a group of people that lead a certain lifestyle. No big deal.

 

[Windam]

Lol...

Go back to... wherever the hell you people come from, ya goddamn stupid hipster!

 

[Kinyou]

I believe the political correct term is "People who wear skinny jeans"

 

[kabel]

That's not an iMac...


Also white GAF theme?

really?

too mainstream

 

[thekad]

did you say hipter or hipsta?

jeeeeeesus

 

[Infinite]

Are you calling me a hipster?!

 

[Sobriquet]

I believe the political correct term is "People who wear skinny jeans"

So pretty much everyone

 

[Miles Quaritch]

The girl got pretty upset. She said that hipster is like saying nigger to a black person.

Good grief.

 

[Akahige]

Fuck no, though it was extremely rude of you to question them being from around there for looking like hispsters, she is ignorant.

 

[-Gozer-]

Labels are bad, and I probably was a little too glib with them, but what the fuck?

Haven't you heard? Being a Dickhead's Cool!

 

[Desi]

The girl got pretty upset. She said that hipster is like saying nigger to a black person. I didn't agree. One is a label used to classify a social occurrence, the other is well, horrible.

Labels are bad, and I probably was a little too glib with them, but what the fuck?

I doubt there was a black person around to chime in.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Sounds like she's just being ironic.

 

[GorillaJu]

What an idiot. I take the word hipster as a compliment because it's only used in derogatory fashion by insecure people who think you're cooler than they are.

 

[ronito]

Look at all these fuckin' hipsters.

 

[Despera]

did you say hipter or hipsta?

Oh man lol

 

[Mully]

I doubt there was a black person around to chime in.

There were actually plenty. Long Beach has a good mix of incomes and races.

 

[zon]

I asked a guy and his girlfriend if they were from around the area while at a pool hall last night. The girl was offended. She asked why I would pose such a question. I plainly said they looked a little hipstery and I've never seen them before.

I hope you made fun of her until she left.

 

[NewGame]

Hipster is derogatory slang used by hipsters.

 

[exmachina64]

How the fuck do you get offended at someone asking if you are from the area?

Like, what?

Paranoid that the OP's a stalker. Pretends to get offended because she's actually from the area.

/s

someone was near her when she said it? that's where I was getting at.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Hipster is derogatory slang used by hipsters.

Only a hipster deals in absolutes.

 

[MIMIC]

hipsters are by definition those who get offended by the hipster label

lol, I agree.

I thought I dressed like a hipster once, looked in the mirror and said, "God dammit. I look like a fucking hipster." I didn't care. For that one day, I was gonna rock some hipster apparel.

 

[Red Liquorice]

As usual first reply nails it.

 

[SlipperyMoose]

You were speaking to a stupid idiot.

 

[Mully]

Not directly nearby, but the bar was filled with black people at the time. It's a local hangout with a few pool tables in the back. I went there after work to visit the bartender and give him a bottle of Buckfast as a joke. I was with a friend who's a pool shark. We played a few games. Started talking to the people around the pool table and ran into that wonderful girl.

She mentioned the hipster thing. I moved onto another topic, which was asking her what she does. She said she was a chiropractor by association. I ignored the comment and asked her if she actually believes in chiropractic. She said yes. I told her I'm not sold on it. She got more offended, and hustled back to her other friends. She kept pointing at my angrily while talking to her friends. I was puzzled. I didn't know what I did wrong.

Last summer I walked around the city and a couple looked at me, the girl whispered "hipster!" to her boyfriend in a derogatory tone. I was like "What the hell?", then I looked at myself and remembered I wore a flower shirt, had a beard and was holding a polaroid camera in my hand. "Point taken" I said to myself and proudly strutted about.

 

[Oxirane]

Just like only a ninja can sneak up on another ninja.
Only a hipster can call another hipster, hipster.

Spoiler

Or Not.

...that's something a hipster would say!!

 

[lazybones18]

Hipsta plz

[Pie and Beans]

That was the cue for you to break into uncontrollable laughter for a full minute, OP. Then follow up with ... yes. The above gif. Its always going to be Gay Byrne gif from now on.

 

[NobleGundam]

Blasphemy! This is madness!

A chiropractor as well? She may be one of the worst people on the planet.

 

[Mully]

By association. She said she works the desk at a chiropractors.

 

[King_Moc]

I dunno, you not remember hearing in school about how hipsters were enslaved in their millions in the past? They invented shoegaze music to communicate with each other without their owners realising. True story.

 

[A Human Becoming]

If I heard someone say someone "looked a little hipstery" I probably wouldn't want to associate with them either.

What if someone said a place seemed like it was for hipsters?

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

We must trust the eternal words of forest Gump, stupid is what stupid does

 

[Mully]

If I heard someone say someone "looked a little hipstery" I probably wouldn't want to associate with them either.

She was the one that brought up the hipstery thing. When I asked where her and her boyfriend are from, she said, "What just because we look different, we're not from around here?"

I said, "You're dressed a little hipstery, but no it's not that. I work here from time to time and don't recognize you guys."

 

[Protag]

LMFAO SHE SAID WHAT?????

White Privilege.

 

[I Stalk Alone]

Wait did you say hipster or hipsta?

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Should've motioned one of the black people at the bar over to get their opinion

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

Why do idiots try to compare words or how they are generally treated (fat shaming) to black people's problems?

Its almost like Godwin's law but with African Americans.
