this is actually a sign of the american cultural shift towards conservatism that has been gradually taking place over the past 2ish years. the rise of right-wing podcasters, the social media tradwife, more “modest” fashion trends… it’s all very much connected. highly recommend anyone interested in learning more about the rise of conservatism to do online research, lots of pieces have been made discussing this shift.

No shit they did!!!! However, rap continues to be a black-dominated industry in a sea of genres that are dominated by white people. And yet the only genre you ever see get called “thug music” or all about sex, drugs, and shit like that is rap. There is so much more to rap than those things, and reducing one of the few genres in America dominated by black people to those things is racist. Not liking rap is one thing, but reducing the genre to those subjects and calling it “thug music” is racist.

There is in fact people who don’t like rap because they are racist. There’s people who would rather listen to rap from yt people in dreads speaking AAVE, Asians in durags etc than Black people.

whiteness is phenotypical (which means it's based on observable physical characteristics) and highly subjective based on the environment. whiteness is different in east asia, west asia, africa, europe etc. etc.

a good rule of thumb is you are whatever law enforcement would identify you as if you were running. if cops think you're white you likely experience life from a white perspective and vice versa. not a perfect metric by any means but accurate enough

additionally, saying [people from a country] are [one specific race] is *almost* always wrong unless it's an incredibly ethnically isolated country. not all lebanese are white or black. not all portuguese are white or black. interracial children exist across the globe
