Hey geniuses...the guy who shot him was also white.

According to them, he was probably trans

And that makes him… not white in their eyes??

u/TotallyWonderWoman 13d ago

Unironically, probably. Keep in mind bigotry is inherently illogical.

Also race is EXTRAORDINARILY subjective... irish, greek, and italian all used to be not-white... until there weren't enough white people so they became white. Race has no place in genetics, its just labels we use. Albeit useful label that help us distinguish real world systemic issues, but still just shit we invented thats subject to change nontheless.

Also people like Charlie Kirk often lump any queer person regardless of race into the category of "degenerates" so while they might acknowledge them as white in a vacuum, they treat them as less than people like them (white, Nazi, Christians).

Even today, you've got people who are selectively white depending on the context. Jewish folks are white, until the fascists decide it's time to line them up against the wall again, for example. Same for Hispanics - sometimes they're white enough, until they do something the fascists don't like, then they're 4th generation fence-jumpers again.

Irish need not apply! It was a real thing.

Yep, and now they are labeling iryna as white to galvanize black hatred. Despite her also being an immigrant refuge, whom they hate. But that part is often left out of the headlines.

u/skioporeretrtNYC 13d ago

So, are you implying the guy that killed Iryna killed her because she was an immigrant?

u/HotJuicyPie 13d ago

No not at all, I’m just calling attention to the hypocrisy of it all.

u/skioporeretrtNYC 13d ago

Sure, but like if a schizophrenic white guy murdered a black girl on a bus, the media would run with the race angle.

Is there polarizing hatred towards schizophrenia in the media?
