Some of these people are oddly sensible.

This example of Elvis is so goddamn fucking stupid. A lot of black artists from the era, like Chuck Berry and Little Richard and surprisingly many others, were asked about Elvis and they had nothing but praise for him. It's like these motherfuckers are ignoring what black people actually think about it to be outraged by it anyway, which I know it shouldn't surprise anyone but it's still so irritating in a pristine example like that.

And the Filipino example is retarded because like a 1/3rd of Filipino Cuisine is American influences.

A while back I was at a bar. No smoking so I was outside of said bar and having a chat with a friend who bounces it and some other patron. I uttered, I don't even remember the context, the word: "exceptional individual." Low and behold some woman I hadn't even noticed says: "Do you really have to use that word?" Naturally I replied, not missing a beat: "Yes." I won't have my language policed and nobody involved in the conversation was concerned with it. Fairly quickly she limped away saying: "I probably shouldn't involve myself in conversations I don't know anything about anyway..." Near or Collage bars are full of these people and it's disgusting.

Imagine realising you've picked a fight you can't win and backing out by suggesting you should mind your own business. Welcome to the SJW type.

It was just under a year and 100+ pages back, but some kiwi in Minnesota or Wisconsin(they're interchangeable to me) went to the same brewery/bar as a ResetEra RL meetup purely by chance and not only was one a tranny, but the conversation and interactions that were observed were completely in line with what you've described.

I have a personal encounter story:

Yesterday afternoon I met a friend at a brewery. We started chatting with a guy who was sitting near us, he said he was the first to show for a beer meet-up that was arranged on a forum, I asked what forum, he said "have you ever heard of a place called resetera?"

I didn't feel like blocking any limp-wristed punches so instead of saying I was a kiwi I just feigned ignorance. Another person joined him for the meet-up event, apparently there were supposed to be a dozen joiners but these two were the only ones who didn't ghost on it without bothering to tell anyone. Anyway the subject of Puerto Rico came up because I mentioned another friend of mine recently went on a business trip there, we started talking about the possible future of Puerto Rico gaining statehood or becoming independent or whatever. They both said it would be fantastic for the democrats if the island became a state because obviously the fine poor poc people of the island would naturally vote unanimously for DNC representatives to the house. For sake of argument, we stipulated that the population of the island would qualify it for 8 seats - probably not accurate based on its population but that wasn't important for the conversation.

Because they were clearly ignorant of it, I explained that there is a cap of 435 seats in the House of Representatives, and if a new state joins the union its seats would have to to be apportioned away from existing states, they wouldn't simply be added out of nothing. So even if you presumed the island would get 8 solid blue seats, they'd have to come at the cost of seats elsewhere that might be blue seats anyway. One of them simply could not grasp the concept that there was a cap on the number of reps in the House. The other one got the concept but just got hung up on "well then we can take the 8 seats from republican-held states". This one was similarly frustrated when I explained you don't just get to take them from wherever you want, they get redistributed based on population.

Have you ever explained something to someone who had a really wrong idea and they wanted to learn or at least get the concept of what you were saying? Or just wanted to change the subject but kept being friendly like a normal human anyway? Yeah, that wasn't these two hunyucks. My friend and I quickly got the pouty frowns and huffy sighing under the breath that indicated I was ruining the fun of the truthiness in their guts with my "all facts, no heart" attitude toward knowledge. To them, talking politics or world events was not what you do to gain or exchange knowledge, it's what you do because bitching about the correct enemies is fun and right to do and anyone who corrects your mistaken beliefs is doing it wrong. Eventually we left for greener pastures.

Oh, and I haven't mentioned it because the subject of trans issues didn't come up at all, but in case you guys are wondering, yes of course one of these two was trans.

You'd think they'd be for the Indians burning down cowboys shit because that's an oppressed people rising up against the colonists. Since REEE dislikes it I can only assume they love being racist against the red people.

On the topic of that previous story, I'm 90% sure Puerto Rico has rejected statehood.

Oh, and that bigotry of low expectations.

Good. Puerto Rico needs to cleanse their government before they can become a state. Even then they wouldn't need to after removing them because shit would be on track. Seriously, that's how atrocious their government is... I'm endorsing a bloody revolution in a Latin American country, a thing which has a horrible track record on its own.

It's like Detroit on steroids.

You basically took the words right out of my mouth. There's very little doubt about the contributions of blacks to rock and roll, and there wasn't much doubt then. The only time black dudes got pushed under the table artistically was in the late 60s-early 70's when British bands like Led Zeppelin were borrowing a lot of stuff from black blues musicians from the teens and 20s without giving them much credit. Even then, those things have been resolved and credit has been given where it was deserved.

Nile Rodgers of Chic will work with goddamn anybody, including the two pasty white French dudes who make up Daft Punk. I didn't hear a word about Random Access Memories being cultural appropriation of disco.

Rogers accomplished so much because he didn't have a childish "I have to protect my culture" mentality that non musician morons who cry about cultural appropriation have. That's not how human culture evolved and spread. That's how you get insular garbage when you stem those two factors.
