Oversimplifications are how we got here in the first place man. There's a legitimate debate on issues regarding security and diversity
xzhous
@OP Patri-Archie is an alt right comic that has expressed vitriol towards Muslims, blacks, "feminism" etc. And this is an oversimplification
DapperBlook
Its also really good though. Worth a laugh at least.

One of these is an exaggerated myth...
SwedishRationalist
Oh? Which one? The normals?
Koztah
Whichever one is his/her personal ideology, because only the enemy can be ridiculous.
Godcranberry
I haven't seen the middle one before. What's a normal, sounds like a good healthy balance we should all try.

"you're a fuckin white male!!!"
Koztah
Hilariously, the actual quote is "you're fucking a white male" which has interesting connotations.
CloudCider
Left wing racism and right wing racism aren't a thing. They're both racism.
kanemano
Huh, why are all the "Normal" people white, answer me that "cartoon" . ........ do I really have to add the /s?
SwedishRationalist
Because only white people can be racist, duh. :P
BoogaAndTheB52
Mudasir was pretty normal. 'Hi, John' is about the most ordinary thing someone can say.

Let me guess: You also think BLM and the KKK are just two sides of the same coin?
Witters84
"Normal" just means commonplace. Normal doesn't usually and still hasn't always equated with "correct" or "right."
lnsaneWolf
Is "decent human being" ok with you?
Witters84
"Purposely ignorant about racial relationships" seems more fitting to me. Like when Stephen Colbert pretends he doesn't "see" race.
lnsaneWolf
Well IDGAF about "race", because that's what everyone should do. But sure, call that being an ignorant....
Witters84
You possibly have that luxury. Racial minorities usually do not. I recommend reading W.E.B. Dubois "The Souls of Black Folk" to start.
SweetStache
Imgurians, please don't try to discuss politics or social issues. Y'all have ZERO idea what y'all are talking about
spicysenor
All three of these are wrong by the way. Even the "normal" one. Imgur is like the worst type of propaganda for teenagers and 20 somethings

ZenjaSoba
The comic is flawed, but I like how the center panel, they still look unsure of eachother.
CeruleanK
Fates save us from self-styled "centrists" who think they know what the left is like because they believe everything the right tells them.
bananapunk
A little ironic you're worried about a group of people you've generalized generalizing your group, eh?
ImHereToTellYouThatsWrong
"self-styled "centrists" who think they know what the left is like" is a category, not a generalization

2. monopoly on bias, oversimplification and straw-manning.

FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
Why do Mudasir and John look like they just made eye contact while using the urinals at their work's bathroom?
wadatahmydamie
The primary difference is that right-wing bigots write their bigotry into law.
SwedishRationalist
Yeah, sure, left wing gender quotas and such are never written into law...
wadatahmydamie
Ah, you don't know what bigotry is.
SwedishRationalist
I do, I just also know people use that word very liberally nowadays.
SandroidS2441
How come all the left wing racists have glasses?
Ceistebi
What you call left wing hiring practices is actually just compliance with non-discrimination laws for publicly funded institutions.
PhailRaptor
Enforced diversity is not diversity, and that is what this comic is trying to get across
alexanderthegreater
And the point is that those laws, while useful at one point in time, are now obsolete and harmful
Optimixto
Exactly. Universities having to cover a "diversity" % is the dumbest thing ever. Just letting people in based on their ethnicity, not grades
LordNoodles
We had a percentage or ratio we had to have on our school activity pamphlets for incoming students. Being Asian, I was selected a lot.
HeckinBamboozled
And the right HATES it.
SwedishRationalist
You don't have to be right wing to hate gender quotas and affirmative action.
wellju
That the race, or for that matter the country of birth is still a topic in 2016 ... meh, we have to wait for this generation of US to die.
Gilblin
Given the popularity of the alt right and the amount of young white people who voted Trump I wouldn't hold my breath.
KNDBS
You know not only whites voted for him right? don't put all the blame on them.
Gilblin
The majority of them did.
KNDBS
I know but don't act like its all of their fault somehow.
ImHereToTellYouThatsWrong
H's pointing out that enough of them did so to not make this only a generational issue.
GlowstickJedi
Today I learned I'm a left wing racist because I wear glasses.
LordNoodles
Stop buy glasses from monopolies, you corporatocratic schmuck!

False equivalence
fleacollerindustry
I'm Korean and the amount of patronizing attitude from the Left I've received is far more than it should be.
theresgarlicinthatnebula
That certainly could be true and terrible, but all the patronizing in the world is still not equivalent to the KKK and Nazis.

The KKK never rounded up Japanese-Americans and sent them to "interment camps". Sorry, but I don't buy "just because they're not the (1/2)

Hacksaw666
So much bullshit in one picture... wow
SwedishRationalist
Yes, both right wing racists and left win racists do both spew a lot of bullshit, and this picture shows both quite well.
Perfzilla
Maybe every social issue regarding race isn't completely about the actions of foaming at the mouth idiots.
TheUnknownNoob
I'M SILLY
flamingflamingo
You'd think so, but most conversations I have about issues like this show that most people side with one extreme or the other.
TMeerkat
1. I think that's the point of this comic. Its trying to show that things like racism aren't products of the left or right.
TMeerkat
2. Racists come from all over the political spectrum.
grumpygrimsby
What, subtlety? Fuggedaboudit!
hamooshka
No but satire shows us how stupid all this kind of shit is. Sadly there ARE foam at the mouth idiots out there.
dannishadow
Thank you for clearly and politely stating a muture concept that my childish brain can never put into words. I'ma steal it.
Perfzilla
I think people all to often jump the gun and make the accusation of foaming at the mouth idiocy to those who have different beliefs.
jackpkmn
So what you are saying is that people foam at the mouth like idiots to accuse others of foaming at the mouth like idiots?
Perfzilla
Couldn't have said it better myself.

"nur nur both sides are bad nur nur"
vauhtihirmu
In Finland we have coined this term "tolkun ihminen", which literally means "a person of (common) sense" but which is used by people who (1)
vauhtihirmu
view themselves as standing in the middle by not calling racism racism or by not being worried about the rise of nazi activity in Finland(2)
vauhtihirmu
to describe themselves. Everyone likes to frame their pov as the middle way and being the sensible ones, with "tolkun ihmiset" it's easy(3)
vauhtihirmu
to maintain that belief because not taking a stance for or against anything that is under discussion also means they don't get that much (4)
vauhtihirmu
criticism. (5/5)
beergolem
Discrimination happens as much in perception as it does in cognition, so the cartoon is very misleading. I have a story about that. 1/4
beergolem
I consulted for a college that hired a female maths professor. They got slammed with filed complaints that she was chosen out of gender. 2/4
beergolem
In actuality she had more publications and more experience. People didn't think she was less qualified because she was female, 3/4
beergolem
they actually saw a less qualified person. That's how discrimination works. 4/4
Loren1350
Which wouldn't have happened if places (not necessarily that one) didn't have policies to cause people to believe that.
Catpack
Are you saying that men are not seen as more competent, or whatever, on average, and thus women are given less of a chance/opportunity?
PhailRaptor
Hopefully the college defended it's decision and she didn't do anything stupid. If the college caved all they did was make it worse.
purple13
THANK YOU!
SwedishRationalist
to suspect that someone was only hired because of their gender. 2/2
SwedishRationalist
Actually, that's mostly a result of gender quotas. If people weren't hired only because of gender to begin with, nobody would ever have 1/2
