Oh I'm sorry, I guess I'm not a feminist? I'll defer to your authority :)

Maybe just no longer in the mood to be charitable because of all the people in this thread jumping down mine and other's throats for saying this was only true for white families. Maybe not in the mood for someone splaining to me that nostalgia is good actually and not a well-studied tool of the far right. It's almost like the fascist in the White House uses "Make America Great Again" as his campaign slogan.

Maybe I'm just sick of this awful platform and it's "progressive" but actually very neoliberal conservative userbase.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Part of mansplaining is inventing a position to argue against so you can 'splain to someone like you know better than them. All I said was that it was only true for white families. Which you've admitted was the case. So what else are you doing here trying to explain away what was still a fact due to racism?? Sure, it wasn't necessarily the driving force, but it was a fact, and it's weird to be nostalgic for a time that actually sucked for a broad segment of the population. White families had it better than black families, and capitalists wouldn't have given up all that they did if those benefits had to actually be for everyone.

    I'm not reading this long of a comment when you're just trying to justify away racism.

    Nostalgia is a tool of modern white-supremacism, and people should be more aware of that fact.

    *taps the sign*

    Edit: I also NEVER SAID that white supremacy was the reason, as your first comment seemed to posit, so this just all feels like mansplaining. Have a nice day. 🫡

    The issue with the post is that it is nostalgic of a time that didn't exist for non-white families. You talk as if white families didn't directly benefit from the fact non-white families had less, as if it was only rich capitalists sacrificing so lower class families had more in that era. It is a direct causation.

    Nostalgia is a tool of modern white-supremacism, and people should be more aware of that fact.

    Heck, the OOP* is even misogynist here whether they realise it or not. Capitalists realised they could get away with paying workers half as much if women were going to enter the workforce, and families would need two working parents. Recognising and acknowledging that it links back to homemaking labour being treated as without value to society more generally as well.

    Can't believe I had to have this conversation again today, with someone who should know better. You can't just un-racist a word because it makes you feel bad man.

    Edit to add more context:

    Rice burner is a pejorative term originally applied to Japanese motorcycles and which later expanded to include Japanese cars or any East Asian-made vehicles. Variations include rice rocket, referring most often to Japanese superbikes, rice machine, rice grinder or simply ricer.

    Riced out is an adjective denigrating a badly customized sports car, "usually with oversized or ill-matched exterior appointments". Rice boy is a US derogatory term for the driver or builder of an import-car hot rod. The terms may disparage cars or car enthusiasts as imposters or wanna-bes, using cheap modifications to imitate the appearance of high performance.

    The term is often defined as offensive or racist stereotyping. In some cases, users of the term assert that it is not offensive or racist, or else treat the term as a humorous, mild insult rather than a racial slur.

    I'd like you to read this from a guy who's father is from the Philippines. His mother is American. Then have a good think about it. Actually think about it for a day or so.

    Palting: (reenlist forums)

    *When you call a car a "ricer", you are saying that it is not a nice car, possibly even an atrocious car. I don't believe you will ever hear a statement like "Look at that gorgeous ricer!!" So, in response to the question, is it derogatory, the answer is that the term ricer is most definitely derogatory.

    The question then becomes, is it racist? The term "ricer" was coined to denote the cars that were made in Japan or Korea that were subsequently modded and are obnoxious to the observer. You can ask 100 people what car brand comes to mind when you say "ricer" and 100 of them will come up with an Asian brand. Ask those same 100 people what country or race comes to mind, and 100 will say some Asian country. We can safely say that "ricer" would indicate the Asian culture where rice is the staple food. We can define a term racist if the term pertaining to a race or a race's cultural character is considered derogatory. Therefore, the term ricer is most definitely racist.

    If, lets say, one of the African nations built a car, would you call it a "******"? The term "ricer" most definitely belongs in the same category as ******, slant-eyes, gook and what have you. Shame on anyone who uses the term and who does not realise it is very definitely racist.

    My mother is from the USA, my father is from the Philippines. I was born and raised in the Philippines. I am a Filipino. I am not a "halfer", nor "mestizo", nor anything other than a Filipino national who chose to reside in the US as an American citizen.*

    NSW Police Officer Shoves Indigenous Woman into Bollard (loops.video)
     

    A Wiradjuri woman has been injured during an arrest involving a NSW Police officer.

    Footage of the incident was posted to social media and quickly went viral.

    Jaleenah Collins can be seen in the video involved in a verbal altercation with another woman when a male NSW Police officer enters the frame and forcefully pushes Ms Collins from her side. She is pushed head first into a metal bollard and collapses to the ground.

    Ms Collins later posted to Facebook saying she was knocked unconscious and suffered a severe concussion, a fractured rib, and a cut to her ear that required gluing.

    "Thank you to all my family who have reached out and supported me through this and who continues to do so," she wrote.
