    Someone correctly indicating that mixed race children have lower standards of living in racist countries such as the United States is not someone who should be shunned

    The less “white” someone is, the more likely it is for them to experience negative social, economic, and medical outcomes; this is because the United States is a racist country that intentionally disregards people of color.

    I’m not sure why it’s improper for a friend to acknowledge that unfortunate truth. It’s reality, and clearly you agree with its conclusions on some level if you left the country yourself

      You seemed to have missed

      bad for the “white” race

      which implies that the mixed race kid is dragging down whites

      If you are an idiot or a cunt now is the time to assure us it isn’t both.

        Is this allowed under the rules of moderation?

        Regardless, obviously talking about a white race is a concerning thing to do. But the rest of the conversation did not appear racist at all.

        In racist countries such as the United States, a mixed race child will have worse outcomes than a “White” child. Which seems to be what this former friend was saying. Idk why that’s so wrong - it’s literally a progressive talking point since 2014, and, really, since the 1960s and the Civil Rights Movement

          Alright it is both.

          The comments were not in the interest of helping the child. The comments were in the interest of criticising the parent, for having a family with a person they love.

          You are arguing that a person’s lived experiences are akchually different from what his perception was. There was no constructive or uplifting discussion following the factoid being shared. If the “friend” was telling him that some principal went to a cross burning, or some boyscout group leader has SS tattoos, that would have been useful and actionable for the parents. But he didn’t. The advice was, you shouldn’t have done that. Some cunt advice from a supposed “friend”.

          If you still don’t see the problem, you are a dumb cunt, and sympathizer for racists. Go choke on something rusty you dumb cunt.

        You’re being a crybully about telling a story that doesn’t make sense
