If you are boycotting "America", does that include "American culture"? (lemmy.ml)

You don't have to cut ties with american people just because their president is an ass to the world

We cut ties with American people because they are annoying, puritanical and self-entitled.

I know this is a hot take but this would actually just be racism if it weren't for everyone globally thinking it is funny and warranted to dunk on americans when conveinant.

"American" is a race now?

[–] confuser@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Americans are a people in a country, you know, the ones people like to dunk on.

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So they're not a race is what you're saying. So dunking on them is not racism.

I know that it's an American pastime to try and find their victim status, but you have to at least TRY to get the terminology right, dude!

I suggest reading more carefully

We don't need to involve racism, an American pseudo-science, to consider Americans barbarians. That's what an American would do: to reduce everything about race when it has nothing to do with it.

Also, it's white guilt, we all know American liberals and leftists enjoy this stuff.
