He's mixed race and therefore a "POC" himself and entitled to that opinion.

I don't understand. Are you suggesting he can't get upset about racism because the comment you quote was racist? I don't think it is.

Imagine the eviction announcement was dan v gabby

Imagine Dan saying to gabby 'may the best white win'

!

That's how racist that BS sounds

Basically - seeing people as individuals, not as categories. That is what non-racism looks like.

Morgan Freeman is a legend and took down SJWs

You clearly have no fundamental understanding of what racism is.

Using something that has not happened as an "example" does not help any point you're trying to make.

I feel like I post this in like 90% of racism-debates I post on, but some of y'all really need to google the concept of a 'false equivalency'. That is all.

Draining political debates over the guy that farts all the time ugh

Racism: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

Basically sums who how the white race has treated the black race for 100s of years

Which a tongue in cheek comment like "May the best brown win!" does not.

"May the best man win!"
"May the best woman win!"
"May the best blonde win!"

It's not racist, sexist or anything else.

It's merely identifying a similarity between two people going head to head.

1. No need to be insulting.

2. Of course it helps. "Hypothetical examples" are constantly used by everyone across the world, in order to illustrate points and to put things into perspective.

I wasn't the one saying it was racist. I'm just putting it here for the people who:
- believe you can't be racist to white people
- overuse the term

How was it insulting?

If you believe "May the best brown win" was a racist comment, you clearly don't know what racism is because it is not racist. It's simply factual.

I never said you did.

It sounded a little moody mate, tbf. No worries tho.

I was just saying Hardeep's 'may the best brown win' was like Dan saying 'may the best white win':

!

Not exactly racist i know, but weird for him to racially categorise it like that,
especially when he'd just been complaining about racism (which is all about racial categorisation).

They both have brown skin. He wasn't categorising anything.

Just as if he'd said "May the best man win!" wouldn't have been sexist.

I think the issue is drawing attention to simple remarks about appearance. We don't do it about hair colour.

Edit - "May the best white win!" wouldn't have been racist either.

Hardeep has the right to talk about race

Ryan has the right to say he’s sick of hearing about it

Nobody was right.Just a difference of opinion.

jaxie · 04-09-2018, 12:01 AM

Ryan is part Indian himself.

I agree, but didn't like Ryan's dismissive attitude. It came across as bullying behaviour - shutting down the underdog, as if Hardeep's opinion were less important.
