I'm just happy that the meme is joking about Brits yet the only people arguing in the comments are Canadians

Coincidentally my drug dealer's code word for me is hoover

There's plenty of examples of trademark names being used generically. Coke, hoover, Jacuzzi

I hate Musk but maybe he just wanted to play games with his kids? If you really want boosting out of bronze you don't ask the silver 12 year old.

Glad you agree on the correct pronunciation of schedule. Fuck the people that say schedule.

I choose to rhyme with Shangri la

Does she pronounce tortilla like killer? Or does she pronounce Mozilla in a Spanish way?

Ah, watergategate

But that's what you're doing too. Making the meme the correct way round.

Yeah it makes sense from that perspective, thanks for the explanation!

I don't think "it's just a meme" or "it's just stating the facts" will ever be a good defense against racist stereotyping, so I'm going to ignore that line of argument. Fair enough if it was made by a non-white person trying to poke fun at white people, that makes it better, but that context isn't obvious to me at all. I guess it's easier for Americans to infer, which brings us full circle

I said I'm not talking about racism against white people. I think it's racist because the joke appears to be that white people have disposable income and like to travel and do adventurous things. So, to me, it's saying non-white people don't have money and don't travel or do fun things. And I think that's bad. I don't feel like I'm doing backflips to get to this conclusion, I genuinely don't understand how it's not seen this way by everybody else.

Oh, I know why they're obsessed with race. What I don't understand is why this meme can get upvoted and not discarded as racist. And I'm not crying about "wah racism against whites" I mean real racism.

Those things sound fun, why are they bad? Do non white people not do those activities?

It still just sounds racist to me. The joke is that black people are poor?

I really don't understand Americans and their racial stuff. Why white?
