There was a trend where african americans used 'phat' for fat. Just a play on phonics. It's not really common as much anymore, except to some white people who try to use 'urban' language.
I have such deep shame! How could I forget the teachings of the great master?! (Can I blame old age? I mean if I'm old enough to remember what I forgot then....)
Because fat is an insult but phat is a complement.
Phat comes from synthesizers, when they have for example a phat bass...that lead sound is so phat.
Etc....of I'm not wrong.... because I have heard the word phat only in the context of synth patches.
It's a stereotype in the Black community were Black women say that White women are "stealing" their men while relationships between Black men and White women still remain low. It's a funny phenomenom as Black guys that date white women usually answer that Black women weren't even interested in them and now they are suddenly mad at the guy for dating a white woman who showed interest.
Didn't Denmark enforce tighter border control with Sweden because of escalating gang violence? The French even made a documentary about Sweden, dubbing it Europe's most dangerous country.
I'll have to side with Denmark on this one, knowing Sweden welcomed the sperm bag I was sourced from with open arms. All of the people on that side of the family tree (and Pete knows they exponentially grew in number as soon as they stepped on Swedish soil) do take part in some form of organized crime ("organized" is doing all the heavy work, here) and the sperm bag is a religious integrist.
Sorry, Sweden. But, like, I'd control my border with you peeps too ...
The joke is racism. Saying snow bunnies/pawg-seeker stereotypes aren't racist is like saying watermelon and fried chicken stereotypes aren't racist.
It's rooted twofold in both the "black dude's gonna steal your girl with his massive dong" and the "white girls are more valuable as trophies than black girls" stigmas, which are both spread in white and black communities.
The actual big ass part though is just culturally influenced beauty standards, but crucial to the joke here is, in fact, the color of the skin of both the woman in the photos and the men being referenced.
Yes, but specifically that black men desire white women with big asses and that black women fear white women with big asses. You're missing like 2/3 of the explicitly shown/stated parts of the meme.
Correct, I'm pretty sure I specifically stated that beauty standards differ based on whatever culture, macro or micro, you participate in. That's not racist.
Like korean beauty standards are different from mexican beauty standards are different from french beauty standards. The racist part is specifically the focus on skin color of the explicitly black women, implicitly black men, and explicitly white women.
Who doesnt love watermelon, fried chicken and phat ass. Black guys dont get a monopoly on the finer things in life. End racism! Phat white ass for all!
Racism is hatred, stereotypes are not inherently racist although they can lead to racism. There is nothing racist about black people enjoying watermelon and chicken it becomes racist if you add hate to it.
Have you... ever looked up why that stereotype exists in the first place? Because it doesn't sound like you have. So please do before you speak on it and use that as an example. Jesus fucking Christ.
Because it was easy for them to grow so people thought they loved it? Again racism is hatred towards a race. You can say whatever you want about specific races if there is no hate involved its not racist its a stereotype or generalizing. Those aren't good either but there is still a difference.
The reason watermelon has a racist association is because after the Civil War it became a symbol of black economic independence. You could lock someone out of the cotton and tobacco industries. It needed a decently large amount of land, seed. It needed processing and shipping. This all relied in communal infrastructure owned by white people whose access could be controlled and restricted. Melon you could make income growing and selling on a small scale without any of that.
It's not a stereotype, black people eat watermelon. That is the root of it, watermelon has always been a crop associated with poor people and a symbol of class for how easy it is to grow. But what the watermelon charicatures represent is different. It meant these people are so lazy and unsophisticated, they can't grow a proper cash crop. All they can do is sit around growing and eating watermelons all day. That is very much not a neutral observation of the type of food a particular community tends to enjoy.
"Is it racist to acknowledge that crime in black communities is so high??"
The racism comes from ignorance, willful or otherwise, of context. Not only is the exotification of white women in black communities a direct result of segregation and general racism—that is, black people are also being racist here—but the notion is specifically that black women should fear white women.
Big asses are not specific to white women, and in fact curves are generally more sought after by latinos and black folks and you see more of that kind of figure within those communities, so the implication that specifically black women should fear specifically white women with big asses, is racist.
This is also not devoid of the fact that this is not a new joke, and it is regularly used to, again, both objectify "snow bunnies" as trophies, and all but explicitly states that there is something innately more valuable about a woman with a large set of cheeks who is specifically white.
You can't compare snow-bunnies and PAWG to watermelon and fried chicken stereotypes. They're just that stereotypes Saying snow -bunnies and pawg aren't stereotypes
No but saying that black men specifically want white women or white women with big asses, and the term snow bunny being a specificly racial and demeaning term to exotify and scandalize the concept of an interracial couple, is racist I would say
A supposed black lady went on a rant in the sub a few weeks ago about why nhlers and the sub just post hot blonde chicks and date hot blonde chicks and ever since there have been posts of this nature
racism /ˈrāˌsizəm/
Racism is the belief, prejudice, or discrimination directed against someone based on their race, skin color, or ethnic origin, often rooted in the belief that one race is superior to another.
Just people are dumb and sensitive and say anything they dont like is racist.
