I can think of a new rearrangement of a racist word that would become the defacto usage.

GINGERS!

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 1 points 21 minutes ago

no no no, that's silly. We genocide the gingers!!!!

To be fair people without brown eyes are heretics and heathens

History already showed what happens. 90% chance people start going for the Irish.

[–] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago

And the Irish will start going at Dubliners, and Dubliners will start going at North Dubliners?

Surelly anti-gingerism would become the norm.

(Though maybe that's just an UK thing)

[–] Pollo_Jack@lemmy.world 2 points 51 minutes ago

US too. "I'll beat you like a red headed step-child." They were unloved because they were products of rape of Irish immigrants that had to serve as servants/slaves for five to ten years to pay for their trip to America.

Hang out with my asian friends

[–] falynns@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Literally already happened a dozen times. Some power hungry piece of shit is already trying to convince his (it's always a man) neighbors them down-the-block Whites are going to kill them unless they donate to the "Nah I'm a good one" fund. You can't leave too many White people alone. Just look at the Hamptons. Or the US South. Or US history in any window of time.

they already divide by, income, and certain parts of the city/county they live in.

[–] forkDestroyer@infosec.pub 4 points 1 hour ago

Acting like that's specific to any group of people it's laughable.

It's a class war. Don't let them convince you it's a race war.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

It'd be like Yesterday except you'd have license to invent basically all forms of popular music.

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Start leaving my house unlocked again?

I mean, seriously, ragebaiting in such a stoopid way like this deserves all the ~~flaming~~ trolling that comes your way.

btw I’m not from the US so my “joke” wouldn’t work where I live anyway.

Not many black people around where I live so I probably would not even notice

All of Africa would be without civilization, just isolated pockets of Asians and white people on trips to find themselves, now without local guides. They're all going to die unless the remaining governments organize rescue missions. You would hear about this.

Without civilization, it becomes difficult to sustain farms and mines, so even if governments fly in farmers, farm hands and miners to claim the fields and mines, the plants will wither and the mines will barely run. While I imagine most crops are produced for the local market that also died, African products for the global economy, chocolate, palm oil, gold and uranium, will see their prices shoot through the roof in anticipation of the inevitable crop failure and ore shortages. You would hear about this.

Inevitably, unclaimed land with huge amounts of profitable farmland and mines will receive claims, from China, who invested a lot into local infrastructure, former colonial powers reinstating their borders, or whatever remains of Arabian states whose populations didn't qualify, and also whoever could fly in some pioneers and reestablish trade routes. That will result in border frictions, skirmishes and maybe full on war. It's possible you would miss the war, I personally always forget the US-Iran war is still happening, so I'll give you that. US would probably stay out of that one, trying to restart its own agricultural industry.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I never said I would not find out it happened. Probably hear about it in a couple days because even without all the consequences auch a high amount of people vanishing would be strange and reported on.

I would in my daily goings on probably not notice it because I cannot recall the last time I saw a black person more than just like at a glance. There really is just so few of them here

This is your daily reminder that Irish and Italians weren't considered white at the beginning of the 20th century in America.

Hell, some people in Europe don't consider albanians to be white.

Also I'd be very concerned as to where all the racial minorities went. Like genuinely concerned.

[–] FluidBeef@quokk.au 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Plot twist: Chinese and Indians are not racial minorities.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

There's too many minorities!

With all these immigrants, Heaven for sure has become a bad place, which is why I refused to go there when offered!! When God comes to his sense and remigrate them, I'll reconsider!!

What, you doubt me? Such a lack of faith! You must be a bad Christian! You'll probably go to Hell!

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

People who don't live in Europe don't even realise how divided white Europeans are. The Irish and Eastern Europeans are even victims of colonisation.

And forget North America and Europe, just look at Africa and tell me they did not have inter-ethnic conflicts.

The post is very silly and North Americancentric.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 hours ago

Literally Brexit was mostly about Brits not liking other Europeans being free to move to Britain, especially Poles.

I lived in London and unless they actually start talking and you hear their accent (or, even "worse" for the average Brit, their language) you can't actually tell a Pole from a Brit.

So. yeah, a fucking mid-sized country in the modern era has left a massive European trade union which gave them massive benefits (it has been estimated that Britain's GDP is growing 2% less every year because of leaving) because of their xenophobia against other Europeans, especially Eastern and Southern Europeans.

And shit Albanians are the whitest anyone could be, being albino and shit

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 11 points 10 hours ago

One of my favorite facts was that West Side Story was initially about the rivalry between polish and Italian immigrants in New York and Leonard Bernstein had to rework it because he received feedback that it would be too niche and people who didn't live in New York in a very specific window of time wouldn't get it.

[–] adjectivenoun@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

This is made only in jest:

Well I'll have a Coke, then.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 21 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Having just come from the "taking things too literally" thread, contexts like these make it fun to deliberately take it too literally.

What would I do if I woke up and there were only white people left? I'd probably think "what the fuck is going on" as I see only white people floating around in empty space, and then I'd die from a mix of lack of oxygen, hypothermia, and lack of pressure.

Though maybe I'd first ask a clarifying question, like if that "black people" was just an example or would there still be like asians, and latinos? Do Irish and Italians count as white for this question? Basically set it up to look like I'm engaging with the question in good faith before taking the "clarification" to the extreme and giving the above answer.

And then poke at whatever new edge cases they leave when they try to clarify again, until I get bored and just disengage because it was a fucking dumb question.

If the brown people were included and werent here, who would pick all the food. It’d be a real problem

Scrolled too far to find this

The semantical arguments about who counts as “white” already exist and often in very hate filled ways. Alt right “preserve the white race” people already try to bring back the pre world war 2 “Italians don’t count as white” nonsense. And of course tons of Italian Americans are certainly not known for progressive stances

So basically targets would shift?

I feel I have to point out here that most white people aren't racist, and don't give a shit about skin color.

I know this comment will be down voted yo hell because of course all white people are evil racist bastards, and people of color never do anything wrong, but still...

This post feels ever so slightly racist. Is racism not racism anymore if white people are the target? I was always taught to just be nice to everybody and that becoming your enemy doesn't defeat your enemy.

[–] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

The post is hilariously racist.

“You wake up and there’s only white people left. No black people”

Like bitch. What, Asians don’t exist anymore? Native Americans? Pacific Islanders?

Or she’d have to recognize that black Americans are just as racist against those groups too.
