My wife has been showing me TikTok videos of black guys asking things like, “guess what I do for work,” and the responses are every bit as racist as you’d expect.
She thinks it’s everyone making fun of racists and black people owning the jokes, but to me it looks like attempts to normalize overt racism.
Yep. I keep seeing videos of some british guy going around asking international students / workers, “what’s a word that you find hard to pronounce”, and initially it’s played off as cute, but after the fifth person, it’s clear that he’s doing it to mock them as he’s pretty strong in how he corrects them…
there is a narrative to normalize this kind of “us first” behaviour…
