Ah, watergategate

But that's what you're doing too. Making the meme the correct way round.

Yeah it makes sense from that perspective, thanks for the explanation!

I don't think "it's just a meme" or "it's just stating the facts" will ever be a good defense against racist stereotyping, so I'm going to ignore that line of argument. Fair enough if it was made by a non-white person trying to poke fun at white people, that makes it better, but that context isn't obvious to me at all. I guess it's easier for Americans to infer, which brings us full circle

I said I'm not talking about racism against white people. I think it's racist because the joke appears to be that white people have disposable income and like to travel and do adventurous things. So, to me, it's saying non-white people don't have money and don't travel or do fun things. And I think that's bad. I don't feel like I'm doing backflips to get to this conclusion, I genuinely don't understand how it's not seen this way by everybody else.

Oh, I know why they're obsessed with race. What I don't understand is why this meme can get upvoted and not discarded as racist. And I'm not crying about "wah racism against whites" I mean real racism.

Those things sound fun, why are they bad? Do non white people not do those activities?

It still just sounds racist to me. The joke is that black people are poor?

I really don't understand Americans and their racial stuff. Why white?

How do you know the wanker wasn't related to you in some way?

I hate this attitude. "Never let your child out of your sight or they'll immediately be kidnapped".

You know they're more likely to be abused by family than a stranger. By your rationale you should never allow family to see your children either.

My dream is to have two dishwashers so I don't need to unload. Just pull dishes out of the clean one when needed and put back into the dirty one

It's too similar. Can I suggest penext. Like penultimate

I was behind somebody in the queue at Screwfix who was asking for advice after their landlord had glossed the inside of their BATH. What a lunatic.

Worth

Its technically the same as renting, but there's a lot of stupid historical reasons that make it awkward. You could be a leaseholder with a 1000 year contract costing a few pennies per year. Which makes you, for all intents and purposes, an owner of the property.
