I'm drunk
A spokeperson of the French police said on national TV that black people being called a certain slur (hard to translate in English, but it's not that far from the n-word) isn't that bad. Fuck this so much, I can't allow some of my closest friends to be treated like this. Legit want to cry after hearing this
Why is the world so fucked up WrassleGAF
Insecurity, cowardice and ignorance I am afraid, friend. (I'm drunk too.)
I work with refugees and immigrants very often as part of the mental health and community services here and some people are so stubbornly stupid. It is so hard not to shoot on fuckers who talk shit about Somali refugees or whomever else when they talk about not trusting them, they are all rapists etc when I spent a month working with them with therapy and then helping to find work or helping to get connected to work or education networks. People in tears with gratitude to have the opportunity to work hard and not have to worry about safety. Then ignorant fuckers shit on them with insane drivel and ignore anything I say as if I am being manipulated and part of some conspiracy. It really fucking sucks.
Its shit for the Thai community here too. The racism is more subtle. If they have a white partner then it is assumed their relationship is a farce. When we had a party once some white guy got upset when women were talking in Thai. He was convinced they were talking about him and he couldnt understand him. In relaity they didnt give a fuck about him.
Fortunately the people who behave like that seem like the least but they leave the biggest and most depressing impression. Most people are good.
Things seem really grim now and it sucks. But I really think it is just the maniacs realizing their shit world is about to change and they are trying to kick out. They'll get pinned soon~
