just the four of us now

tecnically its not the same chat
Ah
Law still does those funny league comics

i might have missed those entirely
Hes got a Facebook page dedicated to them I think

i think he has me on full block
I see

we got into an argument because he doesn't believe racism exists

which... ugh
?

yeah
Weird

in argentina he's white so it makes sense sort of

but like, WHY
hes white?

he's part arab part spanish

but like spanish from spain spanish

and the definition of white is different in latin america

a lot of the time it's basically just not black
Law looks like a smooth jontron

he does.
But that's lame
What happened?

i tried to explain to him how

using 'races'

for different fantasy species

implies nonwhite races aren't human

and he went down a slippery slope into

i'm making racism up

"but you keep bitching about things that aren't there" - actual quote

got no time for it

no time for drama
wait I still dont understand the fantsy race thing

like

calling people who are cows or dragons a race

implies that people who arent white are THAT different from white people

it implies nonwhites aren't human

it comes from tolkein who made orcs as an antiblack caricature

orcs are supposed to be black people

thats why all the elves andh obbits and shit are white
What should be a proper word for different species of beings

...species

sentients if you want to be REALLY specific

race is human specific

it's a human social construct
not necessarily, there is the phrase 'the human race'\

that comes from old white racist notions

it really meant white people

but even then

do you say 'the dog race'
you refers to the different types of dogs as breeds?
I thought race implied sentience

i mean as a whole do you say 'the dog race'

i mean

race implies

HUMAN

above all

it's a subdivsion of human beings as a social thing

it has no scientific basis

it was invented by people it's not real
I guess I see now, but I doubt people actually mean that

it's implied

TOLKEIN actually meant that

and then people took it for granted

and it gets rooted in them

small and subtle

stories are vessels for ideas, always
Ok
Well is that why law got in an argument?

yeah he turned really shitty really quick

he has some growing up to do

maybe we could be friends again but not if he acts like that
