Me being amazed by how closed minded people are under the cut
I'm not gonna lie, this is mostly at white people, so read at your own discretion
I go on tiktok and I read so many comments from white people on the videos of pocs and they're so fucking ignorant. I don't know when we stopped using our brains and started just blurting out the dumbass thoughts that come to our minds, but it's gotta stop. Social media has really allowed people to have a voice when honestly they need to just shut the fuck up. "Well I wanna know/learn" please don't. It's none of your actual fucking business, this knowledge will do absolutely nothing for you in the grand scheme of things except satisfy your craving to be included in spaces that don't concern y'all. The phrase "Well I wanna know" when talking about stuff that honestly don't concern yall has so much privilege tied to it. It's as if your ignorance is a just cause for being offensive, and the only reason you would be respectful is if you learned more about the topic. How fucked up is that? You'll only respect things that you understand.
This all came from this South Western Asian woman's tiktok of her eating rice with her hands, and the whites were going absolutely crazy about it. "Why do you do this? What's the cultural significance of eating with your hands?" because she fucking wants to, and leave it at that. Like what does it actually matter why she's eating with her hands? Like truly answer me why it matters to you, what will change in your life by understanding her culture or reasoning? Just see her eating with her hands, and keep it pushing. No need to ask other than you being curious. And yes, sometimes you can be curious and not have to seek to satisfy that curiosity—believe me it will go away once you scroll past the video. It's not up to other people to educate you on their culture, it really isn't. Fucking google it. "Do you not have utensils in your country?" Is the one that really pisses me off. Like the fact that someone could think that in the year of 2021, a person who has access to a cellular device that uploads videos on to Beyoncé's internet, does not have access to utensils. Like please take a moment to think about the shit yall say, just two seconds, I'm begging.
And its not just for that creator. Like there was this other video of a woman explaining natural birth control methods. She's not a doctor, she's just sharing what she does. The comment section was filled with "you shouldn't do this" and "you shouldn't do that" SHUT THE ACTUAL FUCK UP!!!! Like this lady is telling yall what she does, either you wanna try or not. Like people are so stupid that they cannot fathom other options besides what they do in their personal life. Like if you wanna take BC pills, go for it. If you wanna try learning to follow your menstrual cycle, then fucking do that. "But following your menstrual cycle can have flaws and higher risk of pregnancy if done incorrectly"... wow, no one has ever thought of that, thank you so much for sharing. Like idk if people have truly become so impressionable to the degree that they blindly just follow something they see someone else doing without doing their OWN research before trying it. It was a 45 second video and she spent 25 seconds on explaining the method. If you are dumb enough to just take her 25 second word for this birth control method, and put no additional thought or research into it, then you should not be having sex. Period.
I swear, people's inability to think beyond the initial thought is quite alarming, and their incessant need to voice said WRONG OPINION is even scarier. And yes, it's usually white people. I said what I said and I will not elaborate further. If you see something, and you have questions go fucking google it because I'm really tired of y'all just being uncultured and then somehow making that everyone else's problem. Other cultures exist, and not knowing how to interact and learn about those cultures in a respectful and HUMBLE way has become too much of a problem in this "Era of Wokeness". The spike in white people wanting to learn about things that aren't white is great and all, don't get me wrong, but just remember yall are not entitled to any of this information. White privilege will never cease to amaze me. The way that it just seeps out of your pores in everything that yall do. Like there is such a lack of humility, even when yall are dead wrong and ignorant. Like yall really will say the dumbest, most racist, most insensitive shit and then have the audacity to say "it's just a question, I wanna learn" as if it's the DUTY of the person you just insulted to educate you in a respectful way as to not bruise your fragile egos. Yes knowledge does help with sensitivity to others, but you know what else helps with sensitivity to others? COMMON FUCKING DECENCY. Like yall can just be nice to people and not know/understand a damn thing about them. All you need to know is they're a human being, and have the basic HUMAN RIGHT to receive respect and kindness.
Anyways, I'm on vacation and the colonizers have me heated. Lemme get off that childish app lol
