Just saw the movie, I laughed throughout the movie and about five times it was hysterically funny. On the other hand it was tedious to have to listen to all the DEI stuff. But there were a whole lot of people on the movie who were supposed to be "racist" that were the only ones speaking sanity. Overall I enjoyed the movie quite a bit because I was forced to go to all these DEI seminars as a NYC teacher including a two day seminar that you were required to attend.

I think that was based on a poor interpretation of some studies done.

They found that babies preferred women that looked like their mother over women that didn't. But once they know the woman it doesn't matter if they look like their mother or not, so that is a foolish interpretation.

The other study they found chinese women in chinatown were being robbed, black kids were taking their purses and running. But when they tried to identify the kid they couldn't do it. They found out that all they knew was the kid was black. However, the same can be said of white people with Asians. Most Americans can only tell that someone is "Asian" and can't distinguish between Chinese, Korean, Filipino, Vietnamese, etc. You have to actually live where you will see many different people before your brain will identify the subtle differences. So that is true of everyone, it simply means these women grew up in an environment where they didn't see enough black men to notice subtle differences.

No... It was based on an Avenue Q song. Know your memes.

He's speciest.

But I hear everyone is a little bit speciest. I heard it in a science fiction video game. Can't remember the name.

You're racist against pets? 😥🐱🐶🐰

I'm not. The people who eat pets are. I'm not opposed to eating most meats so long as the animal hasn't acquired a name or isn't wearing a collar. It's all protein to me.

Been wanting to see it but hubby and I came down with severe allergies. But might just pay to watch it at home. Looked like it was a good one.

Back in Holbrook MA (Boston area) in the '50s, a "Racial problem" was when the South Boston Irish moved into your neighborhood.

Starpoint Gemini 3, that's what it was.

"Captain, are you speciest?"

"What? No! No way!"

"It's okay Captain. Everyone's a little bit speciest."

I hope it was evident I was just kidding.

You certainly don't seem like someone who would be unkind to animals!

And I don't have any room to talk. For myself, I like the convenience of stuffed pets rather than live ones. 🧸
