Only white people.
Asia: empty
Africa: empty
Maybe southern Europe also empty
Does this fix climate change?
No, we’ll just consume more.
We’re doing a lot of bullshit. Research shows we could maintain our effective lifestyle while cutting consumption by up to 60%
No, because 10% of richest people on Earth (majorly Western Bloc, including Europe) are responsible for 50-66% of global emissions.
For example:
Ethiopian is responsible for 0.14 tonnes of CO2 emissions yearly on average.
A Swede on average is responsible for 3.43 tonnes of emissions.
An American is responsible for 13.83 tonnes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions_per_capita
The issue isn’t overpopulation, not at all, but that we have a bunch of countries with hyperconsumerist economy, a car in every household, high electricity usage, accessible red meat, air-conditioning etc.
White is about 10% of the population. It doesn’t matter much that the 7 billion gone used less than them. 8 billion to 800 million. It feels like it can’t help but reduce the world CO2 output significantly
And then the economic damage of losing Asia is unimaginable. You’ve never seen a depression like that would be. No manufactured goods would be available until Europe and the remains of America bring up industry
I’m surprised the joke didn’t go straight for gingers…
Yep.
Why jump to eye colour when there’s ‘The Females’ issue to take care of.
Then there’s the categories of weight, and height. Nose length and width. Whether you poop standing up or sitting down. And it’s not just hair colour, you’ve got the frizzies to alienate as well!!It’s not a joke though.
You can take the caveman out of the cave, but can’t take the cave out of the caveman…
It is hilarious how accurate this is. Coming from a predominantly white country, our peoole have their own way to separate us in groups and hate each other.
I wouldn’t say that POCs wouldn’t do the same. It is just the humanity like this. Any big group if people would find ways to be grouped and to hate other groups. Only small groups will be friendly to each other.
Well, you ever heard about Rwanda? We all do the same.
Well, once upon a time, keeping tribes small, and being antagonistic towards folk who behave weirdly, were vital in preventing novel infectious disease from running through the population. We’ve seen recently the risk of a connected global community with COVID-19. The Spanish Flu epidemic also spread widely and killed up to fifty million people.
If your tribe gets an infection and you don’t like anyone else much, then it stays in your tribe, and the rest of the population is safe®.
If we can get past our differences, and develop large enough institutional infrastructure, then centralized disease control uses science and tracking to identify the bug and develop treatment. A good demonstration of this appears in the game Plague INC, in which you play an infectious disease, and watch how the global health sector detects you and responds.
Of course, it doesn’t work perfectly, as we’ve seen, there are vaccine naysayers. There were some during the 1918–1920 flu pandemic, as well. And as we’ve seen with the AIDS/HIV pandemic, if the initial batch of victims are not liked much, it can delay response by the scientific community. But large health institutions improve lifespan and quality of life overall.
No, colonialism made us like this. This is not human nature, not completely
Okay, aside from the obvious “what the fuck happened to all the people” racist Thanos snap of it all, my real question is this: who is left behind? Because “white” is a made up category. I have 2% African ancestry, do I stay or do I go now? I have some level I don’t remember if Asian ancestry, less than 5 percent. I also have higher than average neanderthal DNA. Does that part count as white? They’re likely European Neanderthals… Go far enough back, obviously, and all humans are African descended.
Where do we draw the line? Because honestly, if there’s some weird racist god out there snapping away people based on their DNA, I need to know the rules so I can make proper arrangements!
Was just about to comment “you reckon the magical racist thanos snap would finally recognize north african and north Indian and middle-eastern and circassian and… groups as white now or still no?”
Yes, In the early 20th century, Irish and Italians didn’t count, so the O’Reillys and Giulianis that people conservative (xenophobic) America would have a sharp surprise.
Grieve my black friends
Dude, the grieving process just gets prolonged because of how hard it is to make new friends as an adult. Like, great, now I’m sad AND lonely.
Probably try to figure out what the hell happened. the majority of the population of earth vanishing would be a bit alarming
White are a minority ? That was unexpected
Only for people who have never opened a geography book.
Yep. Here is a cool map to help visualize it in your head.
Cool map thanks
White people make up approximately 15-16% of the population https://factually.co/fact-checks/society/white-population-percentage-world-f6aeb8
Damn why I never got dei benefit that s unfair
Hair color is easier to see from afar. That’d be first.
Hair color is too easy to change. White people really value the immutable
Me chuckling with the inability to tan: “Who’s white now?”
Good news there. My hair is white, too.
Well, of course. Do you want a bunch of soulless gingers plaguing the earth?
Ginger liberation!
For kids of all nations!That’s basically M.I.A.'s Born Free music video. It was really controversial back when it was released but now it seems prophetic.
It’d start out as more jokes, of course. And then over time you’d have to wonder more and more whether any particular joke was serious.
I’ve lived in a place that was “all white” and they divided themselves up by nationality. Poles, Ukrainians, Slovaks, Czech, Italian.
There would be bars people would avoid because they were harassed for not looking right.
This was in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre at the turn of the millenium. Since then there’s been an influx of Hispanic people and now all the “whites” hate them together.
Also Italians weren’t considered white either, in the late 1800s and early 1900s. They were above POC, but barely. They had to “prove their whiteness”. Also Irish were predominantly Catholic so fuck them too. Its why a lot went on to become police, to show they weren’t “filthy degenerate thieves” and served the community.
“No dogs No blacks No Irish”
We already did that one
Nah we already hate gingers
We will all kill each other, as there will be no one to do all the shitty jobs white people feel to entitled for. So nothing gets cleaned, nothing gets repaired, nothing gets built, logistics fail as ships have no personnel except white captains, politicians and businessmen get withdrawal effects because they cannot get their cocain anymore, etc. The only upside is that fascists like Trump, Musk, AfD, etc. have no purpose anymore, so their hate a fear spreading becomes useless and all that is left when the wall of hate falls is just failure.
Oh this really depends on the definition of “white”, the USA “white” category includes people from Turkey, North Africa and the Arabian countries. AfD hates all of them.
In America, they would not have very long before they started having to forage for food.
A majorly significant portion of the workforce for agriculture are non-white.
There may be a few locations that can maintain business as usual, but the world is going to collapse, and it’s not a question of if it’s a question of when, and I’m guessing for most people that will be less than 30 days.
Of course I won’t be there to see it, I will have been raptured along with the rest of everyone, so best of luck.
Check to see if the Asian people are still okay.
A more cynical answer is to buy as much property on the south side of Chicago as possible before the prices skyrocket.
Business days? Do some folks think racism takes the weekends off?
if they throw a huge party on Saturday and gotta sleep off the hangover all Sunday, then yes
I’d miss my wife 🥲
I’d spend the rest of my life looking for my kids.
Me too
We’d all miss their wife.
Probably would go back to discriminating by nationality or culture.
And religion
Italian jokes are back on the menu bois!
Irish jokes never left
And covering women’s left hands for being too sexy?
Had my wife look for this exact comment. Was going to have her post this if no one else had.
He thinks he’s so clever. A Stormlight Archive reference, how original.
Hey if he didn’t make it I would’ve
