No grammaticals here, it just made me chuckle and I made a jokey dig to the guy and people started writhing in outrage. I’ll try be more sensitive to the fragile in future.
So it was nothing to do with grammar, but PC phrasing.
Your whole comment was outrage because the comment said "the blacks" as opposed to "the black people [there, where I visited]". Like how some prefer "The Jewish man" over simply "The Jew". Some might call this "fragile" but people have their reasons.
Your comment has been deleted now, but I saw it originally. And it was wholly indignant at the phrasing. If you're South African, maybe that phrasing is indeed racist there, I don't know.
But the outrage was confined to the deleted comment.
Nope, no comment deleted. At this point having to actually explain the joke makes it not funny any more.
SA is home to tens of millions of blacks from numerous tribes, cultures, languages, beliefs. Plus millions more black migrants from across Africa. SA has super rich blacks and super poor blacks. Same for Indians, whites, coloured. Opinions vary widely from group to group.
He said his wife met ‘the blacks’ and now knows how they feel. I wasn’t offended. Wasn’t outraged. Wasn’t bothered. Just found it funny. It made me laugh. As in, ha ha, that’s funny. A million different opinions and tribes etc. She must have spoken to all 50 million to know how ‘the blacks’ feel. Wasn’t even speaking for ‘the blacks’, it just made me chuckle.
South Africa is not like any other country, it has 11 official languages ffs 😂
Nah you're programmed to be a sensitive little outrage machine. You should work on that, it's a miserable way to live. He didnt say anything derogatory, but you found a way to read it that way. That's a you problem.
Oh my god stop, I am howling 😂 I’m not a sensitive little outrage anything. I made a joke, stop being a retard 😂 I know he didn’t say anything derogatory, I didn’t read it that way 😂
It was deleted for you - https://i.ibb.co/T8rH7Ls/image.png
Probably because you picked up on an insignificant grammar issue which was construed as something it's not.
Do you really insinuate bad intentions every time someone makes a statement about any country, or is it just because it's the one you come from? That must get very tiring.
Very close minded and unworldly opinion. South Africa is a exemplar of multiculturalism, and yet there are plenty of other examples the world over. The majority ethnicity in American terms, is "black".
Just from the way you took this issue, it's very obvious to me that you are in no way black. I have never met one with such neurosis for describing groups.
Your black neighbour - "I went to Holland and all the white people there were listening to electronic music"
You - "UMMM AKSHULLY IT'S THE NETHERLANDS, AND HOLLAND IS HOME TO FLEMISH, FRENCH, BELGIAN, MORROCAN..."
This is why all the blacks in your neighbourhood don't invite you round anymore. You should remind them you aren't actually upset and you are enjoying the joke with the crying emojis.
You made that all up in your head and you want me to justify it? Lol, stop trying to be triggered over nothing and accept that I made a dumbass comment about something I found funny that you chose to willingly and unnecessarily take offence to like some fucking wet eyed Karen on Facebook. Look at you clutching your pearls and writing long assed essays of outrage because I didn’t explain my fucking dumbass probably poorly delivered joke in a way you could understand.
I SHOULD be offended you think lumping together multiple tribes and peoples as one ‘black people’ is ok but if I gave a fuck about any of them I’d still be living in that shithole country.
Now stop with the fake wailing and gnashing of teeth and go make a sandwich for someone.
