Enlightenment values that produce a media that celebrates non-whites and inter-racial relationships to such a degree that they are presented in the aforementioned media at a rate outstripping their actual occurrence? Such racism!

I suppose the two major political movements pushing the abandonment of enlightenment values, the Communists and the Fascists, are easy to spot when it’s white people sieg heiling or waving red flags, but no one wants to challenge the non-white political extremists for fear of being cancelled, but that is exactly the company they’re keeping with this bullshit.

It is interesting how the American perception of race has overtaken everything. The makers of Rings of Power used the term BIPOC recently, but with the “I” standing for indigenous and the RoP being part of a very British IP (albeit a dreadful bastardisation) indigenous takes on an opposite meaning and is hilarious.

But the "using BIPOC in British IPs" problem makes sense when you remember: the "I" doesn't really matter to people who'd say BIPOC, and it's really only there because everyone is aware that the people they're going after are aware native people got a raw deal, and more importantly, even the most hardened hotep knows their support will die quickly the second they play the card "well, sure they killed 90% of you due to diseases you had no immunity to or outright murdered you, stole your land and moved you to the most worthless wasteland in the country and then stole that from you when they found out it had oil and they wanted it...but you don't understand. They made us WORK!"

You know what I find truly entertaining about the whole "you owe us forever because slavery" rhetoric? I cannot recall anyone trying to pump the tribes--more than a few of whom definitely owned slaves--for reparations over that. You'd think that someone would have lined up a shot on at least the tribes with the casino revenue coming in.

There's a few hoteps who will claim "tribes owned slaves so you owe us forever too", but again, they get shouted down because Americans are quite aware that Native Americans got a raw deal in this country and if a hotep has the gall to claim blacks were treated worse, IT WILL NOT END WELL for them.

Black people also owned slaves.

I basically just insinuate to these types that if they still believe themselves to be inferior slaves people will gladly let them work for free.
