I always sort of hated this image. The point seems to be that one should jump to the idea the replies are racist and / or sexist. But when you actually look at who the post is from it’s clearly from some “facts” account / company thing. Which honestly should lead to a degree of incredulity. It’s the same kind of thing as “this 22yr old bought just their second house” and then you read two paragraphs and actually their parents gave them a small loan of a million dollars to start their real estate business.
Like, the whole point of the post is to bait people into saying that kind of thing, so when people fall for it it’s kinda understandable.
Don’t forget all those articles about teens ‘making scientific discoveries’ or ‘inventing’ things, then you find out both their parents are high profiler researchers who have access to multi-million dollar labs and their kid just happened to ‘discover’ some new thing.
Exactly. It’s not about race or gender. If it was a white male in the pic instead, the comments would be the same. But people want to make everything about race, gender and religion in today’s society. It’s honestly pathetic.
Too be fair, I’m sure a lot of it just boils down to internalized bias. I’m just saying that skepticism of a clickbaity Instagram image macro probably shouldn’t be pointed at as evidence of the downfall of society.
