A lot y’all don’t seem to understand how hate speech eventually turns into a hate crime

“When we decline to speak ill of the dead, it’s because we have compassion for the living. In this respect, I am sorry for Kirk’s children. I don’t know if Kirk was a good father, but if he was, that does little to mitigate the damage he did to other people’s children.”

police called back the same day we made the report + we sent video evidence, no response since. :)

This is why I believe so strongly in cities. Socialization is like a muscle, and living in a dense, walkable environment is like going to the gym every day.

laboobies

at the cost of being called a party pooper, i Really wish my queer fellows would stop qrting this with their picture + a clear picture of their workplace 😭😭 guys kalian gak inget sebuas apakah doxxing di medsos ini....internet safety please

idkman un professional yapster if the factor is a specific “lifestyle habits”, just say that. i have differences in lifestyle habits with my Chinese Singaporean gf too, and more in common in “lifestyle habits” with some of my other non-Chinese friends. race is a fake proxy variable for all of these things

idkman un professional yapster if the factor is “cultural traditions” and “habits”, i would question the salience & frequency & how exaggerated these “differences” even are, esp as shit here gets so modernised and everyone white-washed + again, a lot of these “customs” are also rly specific to the ways

idkman un professional yapster individuals &/or individual families choose to practice them, including how seriously or strictly they take them? also i would question if these differences feel more tolerable &/or more like “interesting / curious cultural exchange” when applied to, say, other “races”, or are

idkman un professional yapster you just narrowing down on specific “races” in mind. race =/= culture anyway. race isn’t stable or a singular Thing, neither is culture

for all the talk abt insurmountable cultural differences, minorities *do* assimilate to dominant cultures lmao so.

interracial dating discourse in SG is so bored and tired. in other big metropolitan cities with similar levels of multiculturalism and prosperity you know what they call interracial dating? they call it dating. because it's normalised

like people keep making the same points again and again here meanwhile in NYC there's mixed families of combinations and permutations heretobefore unheard of. clearly "cultural" differences are not as massive of a barrier elsewhere

odd thing here is sg chi ppl want to have their cake and eat it too. they dont want to be interrogated on the root cause of their preferences yet make these preferences a part of their identity - putting it out there freely on the internet and want it to be validated

desire is neither a right nor an obligation but who u feel desire to is also a reflection of the invisible influences in ur society. it straddles d personal & political & if u won't qn ur implicit biases, that's ur prerogative but dont expect it to be socially validated by others

actually don't have to go that far lol, even in SG or Malaysia there are a lot of these unheard of mixing of culture but well. echo chambers are echo chambers

it is with a heavy heart that i admit i JUST realized assemblyroti's username is a refernece to their pfp, which is a loaf of branded bread made in an assembly line
