BrentB Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) What is the worst thing you've heard people in your day to day life (outside the web) say about a particular group of people? So I'll just list a few that I've heard personally: For gays, I'd say the worst I've heard is a person in my family saying that the victims of the 2016 Pulse shooting were just being punished by god (as "tragic as it may have been"). For racism, the worst might be when an old white dude called my friend's uncle a monkey in a road rage incident, while me & my friend were there sitting in the car & watching it all unfold as kids For sexism, the worst might be an Andrew Tate fan boy at a former workplace saying that men need to return to making all the bread & housewives must make a comeback (Handmaid's Tale teas) Edited November 15, 2023 by BrentB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antisocialites Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 just yesterday a co-worker said there was more freedom and it was overall better to live under Spain's Francoist dictatorship than now. she also said every person with leftist beliefs, every immigrant and every person from the LGBT community (except her niece) should be killed. had to get out of my work place to take a break for like 10 minutes cause it was too much, it's pretty wild out here.

loveisdead9582 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I feel like this thread gives everyone an opportunity to say so discriminatory **** about some other people. I’ve heard plenty of hateful **** about different groups of people. It doesn’t make it right. It doesn’t make it okay. People have heard plenty of hateful epithets about different groups but it doesn’t mean that they need to be repeated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm as progressive/left/liberal as they come, but the amount of internalized homophobia and racism I have seen on here is astounding. And people wonder why society hates white gays-- we are not much better than our straight counterparts when it comes to politics. A lot of us like to believe we're liberal and progressive, and already there's two comments on here endorsing fatphobia. Not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thread that deals with this type of stuff can be a double-edged sword really. And for a lot of us, these hateful epithets were directed towards us (not some passive-aggressive secret glimpse into our true thoughts). Repeating these kind of things can also be a form of therapy too. I know it helps me feel like I'm not alone when it comes to being talked crazy to about who I am (what I represent).

Aristede Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I'm ashamed to say that my mother has made many derogatory comments about Muslims throughout my life. She has called them "towel heads," told my brother and I that she'd "kick our ass" if we bring one home. And I can distinctly remember a time when I was a child, we were on an elevator with an Arab man. After we stepped off the elevator she made a comment about how she was scared to be around "them" ever since 9/11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
