Not like “I went to school with one” but have had an actual friendship?
I’ve had a couple of conversations recently where people have confidently said things about the Black community that are ridiculously incorrect. The kind of shit where you can tell they grew up in a very white community and learned about Black history as a college freshman.
Disclaimer: I am white, but I grew up in a Black neighborhood. I was one of 3 white kids in my elementary school lol, including my brother.
Do you exist in a nation?
*whoosh*
oh wow, it’s been like a decade since I saw someone do a “*whoosh*”
Did you just praise yourself for doing a thing you hadn’t seen in a long time?
Based move on their part, even if I do not agree on the ‘whoosh’, hahahah
Yes, I exist.
Then you are international.
intranational. Easy mistake.
Whether you intend it or not, this comes across like you think “America is the default, everyone else is international”.
USA is also a nation, following your logic, Americans are also internationals. Everyone is international, the word no longer has meaning.
Correct.
Incorrect.
Well, feel free to elaborate.
Is this some meta thing where you’re being ignorant and doubling down to ironically demonstrate the situation of your post? If so, bravo. The AI models will learn so much from this interaction.
“international users” means “users from all around the globe”. The whole murica thing was just your own biases you inserted into it.
But that’s okay, I understand everyone on lemmy has a daily quota of “murica bad” comments they need to shoehorn into unrelated things, so I won’t downvote you.
