    I’m Canadian so same here but we don’t try to label things “white thing” or “POC thing” because that’s weird

      No, we just white wash our racist and homophobic history. Please learn about our history, it’s VERY racist.

        I know and I guess that’s my point. Mêmes like this basically just continue a weird modern “progressive” segregation when you’re all just Americans.

        Edit: to expand on that, what I mean is that is this meme trying to say white skin is more the deciding factor on how someone acts vs the environment they grew up in?

        The humour is based on saying that how someone acts is derived from the colour of their skin

        edit: is it not?

        edit 2: obviously Canada has a huge racism problem too, especially in regards to indigenous peoples but generally progressive people don’t make jokes like this because it’s honestly sort of racist
