i had a friend who would almost exclusively go after black guys in college because it would “piss her family off” i was with guys who weren’t white just because i genuinely liked them and thought that there might’ve been something there

I have never seen the word “exotic” used like this and it not be used to objectify another race/ethnicity. Clearly a fetish and if people like 3 don’t see that then that’s just plain ignorance.

#3 pissed me tf off. i got the screenshot from another tiktok account who was literally talking about the exact thing i was saying. sit doesn’t matter that the woman in this is a woc. i made my point about white women in general, but that doesn’t excuse the fetishization of mixed people no matter who it’s coming from. so tired of weird ass ppl making excuses for microaggressions.

Let me reset my point. Maybe she’s just dense with the way she said it. This doesn’t mean she’s inherently racist and having children just because she wants them to be mixed. Maybe she was just excited her baby would look like her and her partner. The way she said it is a little weird. And yeah, it’s weird to have children just because you want them be mixed. Sorry y’all assumed otherwise.

Ignorance doesn’t make it better

Again, maybe she just didn’t think it through. This doesn’t make her some weirdo. It just makes her inconsiderate.

So educate them rather than just scrutinize them.

okay…my opinion remains the same. regardless of how this woman in this specific post meant it, this is not the first time that a white person has fantasized the prospects of having “exotic children”, which is why i made this post in the first place. why are you trying to defend this behavior?

No it makes her ignorant and that’s not better

OP 8w

I’m not defending it. I’m just saying that she might not be inherently racist. Providing a different perspective is not always defending.

OP 8w

Can you tell me what exactly is so wrong with me saying. Maybe she’s not a racist maybe she’s just stupid.

i don’t understand why you felt the need to say “well maybe not” if the point of the post is to say that this does happen a lot, not just this one instance.

Why are you so hard set for playing the contrarian here?

#3 8w

bc why tf are you defending her so hard it’s almost like you find nothing wrong with what she said, even tho me and many others have already told you it makes us uncomfy

ever heard of intersectionality? maybe start looking into that instead of downplaying our issues.

How am I playing the contra. I think it’s weird to have children to someone JUST for mixed babies. But to put a random woman on blast for what could possibly be a simple wording mistake? They could’ve made the post without pointing out a person who deleted the post and apologized for the wording

OP 8w

I do see what’s wrong with what she said. But I also went to her page and saw that she apologized, and she didn’t realize what she did wrong and then she deleted the video and fixed it. I understand that it makes you uncomfortable. It would make me uncomfortable too. But this lady made a mistake and there are others out there who actually think that way and you should put THEM on blast

I mean the image op posted didn’t even have the username in it so I don’t know how I was expected to know but ok.

I was working off the information I was given because I don’t have TikTok. I’ll admit I was given the wrong information but there’s no need to be snarky about it.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IM SAYING. You were explicitly given the wrong information. This video was taken down years ago. Meaning OP found the same video I found when I searched up something similar. And didn’t take the time to actually see what it was. It takes two seconds to go to her page and see that she is Latina. Everyone’s out here assuming she’s weird when she literally just wanted to see her own ethnicity in her own baby.

You might be right that this woman is Latina and didn’t mean it maliciously, but you’re still missing the original point OP was trying to make about how that phrasing is not okay.
