This is how the western world is now, and we still have the nerve to criticise China.

Black people have become sacral objects of worship for most White people, especially in English speaking countries. You are not allowed to criticise them or to make fun of them.

@Mugin16 why would you want to make fun of someone in relation to their SKIN color?

@Miram Why would you want to make fun of someone in relation to their sex? And still you make fun of men all the time here on SW.

Where is the difference?

The difference is that you can make fun of certain group of people while others are protected in Western countries. You can make fun of Christians but not of Jews. You can make fun of men but not women. You can make fun of heterosexuals but not of homosexuals. You can make of fun of white people but not of non-white people (especially blacks).

If the white players had missed their penalties and the black players scored in the penalty shootout and a black or non-white comediean had made fun of the white players, nothing would have happened. He would not have been cancelled.

The difference is that men on SW aren't being harassed by me. They know I am joking and my friends do know I have fought for men's rights in real life probably than you and the OP too. I am not oppressing men or adding to some sort of discrimination against a PRIVILIGED group where I am currently. Yes, PRIVILIGED.

Africans aren't priviliged in England no matter how much you'd like to paint that. Making fun of them is intentionally reaffirming oppression against them.

Bullshit

Everyday women are ridiculed and harassed on social media, every single day.

I am glad I read your comment. It put things into perspective about your true beliefs.

@Mugin16 The fact that you find my comment "funny" sums up very well how much you respect women.

@Miram If someone pointed out that all runners in the 100 metres race were black, or all highest scorers at basketball are black, I would not be offended or see any hint of racism, and I do not know anyone who would.

I just think that different races have different skills, and as a whole, some can be better at certain activities than others. If that thought is racist, frankly I do not care.

@Cierzo 🥱 Except that this wasn't about praising an ethnic group. This was about generalizing negative statement against ALL of them and dissing equality.
