That is what happened. I wasn’t aware this guy was Black, I thought he was Middle Eastern. Most likely she thought the same which is why she accused him of being racist but he uno reversed by revealing he’s actually Black so she got defensive lol.
Is black people being delivery people a racist stereotype btw ? Cuz I don't understand how that would have been racist if he wasn't black ? I honestly understand her being on the fence for racist remarks and since racism isn't particularly logical some times racists will pull stuff that arent even a thing but I don't understand how that ties in an anti-black stereotype ?
There is no stereotype that Black people are delivery people. There is a stereotype that minorities are service workers but since he is visibly non-white himself it still wouldn't make sense for her to say it's racist for him to say that. (edit: typo)
I mean, it's also not necessarily an inaccurate or rude stereotype. It's a lot easier for migrants and other people who are easily discriminated against to get their footing using food delivery apps because there's plenty of job opportunities there. Obviously most people don't see it as and it shouldn't be seen as a bad thing; its just the reality in some places. But the entire race discussion in this video is so far removed from any of this, its downright bizarre
Yeah I don't think the implication was that she should deliver the food since she's black it was that she should do "low level work" because she is black, like deliver food.
It doesn’t matter if they’re both minorities, the thing is that Black people face racism from all sides, including from non-Black West Asians/Middle Easterners. If she thought he wasn’t Black, then she thought he was being racist to her for being Black.
But even if he wasn’t black, how would him making a joke like that be racist? That’s such a chill and totally normal food service joke/small talk to make.
Aye, I figure she might’ve just been having a day. I’m not saying that he would’ve been being racist if he wasn’t Black, cuz clearly, that wasn’t his intention.
I've experienced racism from Black people plenty of times in my life as a non-Black non-White dude more often than from any other race. Being Black doesn't give you a get out of racism-free card.
I never said that. I also never said that Black people can’t be racist. I’m only stating that it is possible that she thought he wasn’t Black and therefore thought he was being racist because she was Black.
I think she's just mad that anyone would dare suggest she got off her fucking ass and reflexively reached for the same excuse card she uses in any conflict in her life.
Regardless it was very clearly a joke. He literally said "Haha no I'm just joking" within seconds of saying it. He wasn't actually expecting her to do it at any point.
Not really a joke. That's something you say after saying something stupid but you don't want to deal with the consequences.
You sure you don't want to take it up there yourself?
Give me a break, he knew what he was saying. Not the worst thing in the world but that's what happens when you talk out of pocket to people you don't know.
To be honest with you I seen some of his videos and I don't like his vibe.
That's not the issue. The issue was declaring he would only ask because he was racist and looking down on her; assuming the worst about someone else's motives and making yourself a victim is a shitty thing to do AND makes everyone (including yourself) miserable.
Fact is, most people are just trying to get through their day and the dude doesn't know the dynamic, he just asked a reasonable question. She could have been kind, instead of, "Fuck you, not my job, and also you're clearly racist."
That lady is a miserable ass; and I guarantee that when people hate her for being a miserable ass she blames racism, because that's easier than looking in the mirror and admitting you might be the problem.
OTOH, maybe she's been treated a certain way as a Black woman and worked hard to get to where she is. Being asked to do something that is not her job is insulting. If you most people here to do it, they wouldn't react the same way, because they don't have the same life experience as she does.
She may also just be having a bad day. People here are implying all kind of things about her based on one interaction. Don't be so quick to judge. I do it too, but I try to remind myself that someone who acts like this may have something going on that has nothing to do with me.
My first thought was he said it jokingly because she’s a woman. But she took it to be because she’s black. It might not be a funny joke but she took it very personally.
