I hate when my distrust of white people proves to be right, lol. I’m at a new college (which is a PWI) and they put us in groups to do orientation activities together, and in that group I think I am one of three(?) non-white students not counting the leader of the group. Yesterday I was doing an activity with that group and I was the only non-white student in the group who showed up, and I had to hear this white person go on and on about how much he would have loved to go back to the Victorian Era because the dresses! The dresses, everyone! Like it was five straight minutes of this before I eventually got to interject that if I went back to the Victorian Era I would be watching my country get torn apart and looted by imperialists. The same white person then went on to make very ableist comments and took offense to me calling them out on it. Thankfully the leader of my orientation group, who was the only other non-white person in the room, stood up for me and made her apologize for being ableist. But yeah I think this person hates me now, and good riddance lol I’m glad that they hate me. If he liked me I would probably be doing something wrong.
You know, they could wear those dresses TODAY (!!!) but nooooooo their white ass wants to go back in time to the victorian era and shit
People were literally saying that in response and he kept insisting that “nooo it’s different”. I guess the dresses don’t feel the same without British imperialism destroying the Indian cotton industry
Without further context, I would’ve brushed it off, but Jaysus, to that extent…?
Tsk tsk, tis like a Wehraboo sayin’ “I only like Germany for the uniforms”
"Not that I believe in that stuff, but wouldn’t it be cool if we were in 30s-40s Germany so we could wear cool uniforms?"
No
this is one of many reasons that i prefer racially-diverse environments. if you grew up in a very white environment good luck getting your voice heard as a POC
