      The c-suite of the MPAA is surprisingly… diverse https://www.motionpictures.org/who-we-are/our-people/

      The only colour the bourgeoisie care about is green.

          Punching up

          So what, they’re somehow above you just because they’re white? I thought Lemmy was free of white supremacists, but I guess not.

            In America? Yes. White people enjoy privileges marginalized groups do not. Almost every billionaire in the US is a white male. It’s something like 90% last I checked despite being 30% of the population. That is so wildly disproportionate even you can’t deny it’s eyebrow raising.

            Do you get this upset when people generalize about black people?

              I wasn’t upset to begin with. Was it not obvious that I was making a semantics joke? I mean, sure, the post I was replying to could be perceived as racist, since it was itself a reply to someone calling out racism, but it was clearly directed at wealth horders, not white people.

                Judging by the number of people who had a similar reaction, I’d say the common denominator is your comment.

            Are you saying America doesn’t suffer from ongoing systemic racism? Most of the ‘upper class’ as it were are old and white because of the racism inherent in the system. Pretending it’s not there and calling someone a racist when talking about it is nothing more then concern trolling.

            Out of all the descriptions I put into my response you only picked out the racist undertones, racist.

              You noticed the racist undertones in my post?! You must be a racist!

              Lemme see if I understand your logic: I’m racist because I called out the racism in your post.

              Does that make you extra racist for calling out my apparent racism?

              Seriously, though, I shouldn’t have to say this, but apparently I do: the way to fight racism isn’t more racism. And the real villain isn’t systemic racism, anyway - it’s wealth inequality. Is a black billionaire a better person than a white billionaire simply due to their race? No, of course not. Even suggesting such a thing is overtly racist.

          If a black man commits a crime, the news and pundits say they’re a black male. Why should white men buying politicians - which is ostensibly a crime - be exempt?
