Republicans Offended By Pepsi Commercial

[KingSweden]

It was tone deaf, not offensive.

This. It was just a bad commercial on its own merits

[KingSweden]

It's obviously a progressive commercial once the online anti-white Armenian girl indoctrination is taken out of it. Like, I get that some black girls are hyper sensitive to everything the Jenners/Kardashians do because of the public dating choices they've made, but online hate campaigns like this are unfair and bad for society in the long run.

No need for the critics to worry though, from the 18-29 age group it looks like Generation Fascist will turn the tide back.

Just reason number 5 million why caring about "race" is stupid. I know arabs, indians, eskimos, latinos, and east asians with lighter skin than  a lot of Armenians (or italians, spaniards, and greeks), but apparently only the first group somehow has "colour". The idea that every single person who does not look northern european is part of a totally for real common identity group despite massive differences in culture, geography, and yes skin colour is stupid. This is even more evident when some "white" people have darker skin than some "colourfuls" or whatever the hell you are ordered to call members of this fake group. The only common identity belonging to Marco Rubio, Shaka Zulu, pocahontas, kristi yamahuchi, the prophet muhammad, and anoushka shankar is that they are/were living people. The fact that they have darker skin than a sami reindeer hereder is not a real identity.

So do you find it more valuable to discuss intersection of culture and gender then rather than race and gender? (I certainly would)

Yes. Additionally, I think Marx was wrong about a lot, but I do agree that class is probably the cleavage that works the best at uniting. Even that is relative though given that poor people here are usually not at all the same as poor people in say India. But overall, I think everyone should try to find actual commonalities to unite us, as opposed to relying on NOT being a member of a different identity group. For instance, I am a lawyer. I share a loose identity with other lawyers. I do not share a common identity with plumbers as a result of us both not being doctors.

I agree. My parents are immigrants - we were very in touch with the Swedish community in Seattle growing up. I think my first generation experience sets me apart from many peers. A reductive view would be to dismiss the sum of those perspectives and experiences because I'm white, IMO
