Hate crimes

Need that shirt.

The girl is both my sister's and the guy is both my brother in laws. They married losers

What about you? Is it 2/3 or 3/3? If you're hetero that is, and in a couple. Otherwise disregard this question or answer untruthfully.

Him being a part of every third heterosexual couple must mean he has a lot of fem presenting partners. I'm sceptical of all of them being of an ethnicity he approves of...

When her friends confront her: ”But he’s never racist to me or my family”

Honestly I've met such a person.
- My ex wife. Wait.
- yes. it's every heterosexual couple.

Eh, I'm all for equality. Women can be racist too!

Yeah, that's probably why Trump keeps winning the white woman vote in spite of everything he's ever said or done to or about women..

#Feminism #LadyBigotry
That's a different 1/3

Text should read "every third American couple". I dont think this applies anywhere else and has anything to do with sexuality...

speaking as a lesbian: I am not and have never dated the most racist man alive. QED.
- As a straight man, neither have i
Only Americans can be racist?
- We don't even come close to the racism in places like Europe, either.
Hey now, in Poland it’s like every other couple
- Youre right, it probably applies in other regions, but definitely not everywhere
As a hetero person I can say it 100% applies in Texas
- This definitely applies to a good number of gay couples in Texas too. Hetero Women do have it worse in this regard though. Progressive Southern woman's options are pretty much:
  
  A) Be celibate
  
  B) Move somewhere else
  
  C) Settle for the Most Racist Man Alive
  
  Single Hetero Progressive men are unicorns in the American South, and them being Progressive is no guarantee they will treat a woman any better. They often come with their own batch of issues and a lot of them are fuckboys.
... maybe you should talk to some minorities from other countries. I mean people who are minorities within their own country.
- You mean like my community?
Do Czech people read Salon?
- Only non-hetero people

Spoiler: She is also racist, but in a more subtle way.

When I was a manager at a tech company this pattern female white woman was about 50% of our entry-level team. Every single day was a new journey into essential oils, herbalife, astrological signs and dreamcatchers. Their racism is there, it is subtle, but it's also entirely a product of trying to appease the angry people in their lives.

These women are dim enough to be led to ANY way of thought. And I say this with kindness, they are often good parents and have sympathetic lives and want simple things. But holy shit their families and husbands and partners are literally demons in human flesh influencing them to the worst ways of thinking and feeling, I've gotten to witness them in the background on zoom being violent pigs and screaming at their infant children loud enough to pick up on the mic through a closed door.

The one thing that you don't see that is shockingly common though is the physical abuse. As funny as this cartoon is, it doesn't show the finger-shaped bruises up and down the woman's arms.
Ppl pretend like women can be racist. Nah, they're worse they're just better at hiding it.

It's even worse when it's a mixed race couple!

So... are you the most racist man alive?
- You didn't get the Salon article?
- Yes, and I blame my wife for it.

Casting aspersions much? The vast majority of couples I know are hetero, and not one person is like either of these caricatures. Let's not pretend sexual preference has anything to do with these stereotypes. It's more likely to be the culture or social system you are familiar with.

queers are a lot less likely to do this shit though. for various reasons, many of them based around a much clearer self interest rather than some innate superiority. not that we aren't also innately superior to the hets.
- i have known racist queers but they aren't hateful with their racism. i think it's the hateful part that makes it different. one guy I am thinking about is black and prefers white guy partners. He will go off on all his lovers with different people and he just admits his preference is racist but he doesn't talk bad about other races.
This means YOU are the third couple of course /j
- You got it!
It’s a joke
- Seriously. Some people need to relax lmao
Are you claiming to know a representative set of Americans, and 1/3 of that representative set is not racist?

I think you're suffering from selection bias..
Yes.
- me when the
  when the shitpost doesnt exactly what i know

ELI5

I think the gag is that this person reading Salon, a progressive media outlet, is a person claiming or projecting progressive values yet is dating a bigot. Progressive dating regressive.
- Aaaaah thank you very much. That helped
Among Gen Z and Millennial Americans (especially the educated straight white middle class) there's been a divergence in political affiliations between men and women. But people still couple up, so hetero couples are seeing a lot more combinations of politically engaged progressive women who are in relationships with politically apathetic men (who also tend to be somewhat sexist and racist).

This comic points out that juxtaposition.
- Tbf I'm not from America and I still know such couples
Lemmy just bring out the shit chart...
- What do pieces of shit have to do wi-Ohhh

My only thing I know about Salon is that at one point, they had a piece about how depressing it was to live in a hacker house, and I was like "wait. I lived in this exact apartment". I remembered the Pinterest guy who lived in the closet. That was slightly surreal.
