    History is filled with people who were promised that we would pretend they were white if they just sold out everyone they cared about. Hasn’t actually paid off yet.

      The Irish might be an exception there. See How the Irish became White by Noel Ignatiev.

        If the current fascist project has enough legs I guarantee you they will get around to reversing that.

        It’ll end as a circular firing squad of jawless, haggard, pasty-white men.

          People forget it was only like a century ago when Irish and Italians weren’t white enough for the wasps.

            Not even that long ago. In Rocky, Stallone gets called slurs

            Depends where you’re at, my family doesn’t like the eye-towel-yans for some bizarre reason I’ve never been able to find out, but I guess that would be expecting racism to make sense.

      The exception to this is when the definition of whiteness had to be expanded to maintain a white majority.

      At the end of the day, those sorts of things always let you know who you can’t trust.

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world

Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you’ve been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don’t know what “Leopards ate my Face” is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn’t in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you’re only using an excerpt from an article that’s otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn’t just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You’re encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
