Like, i can’t genuinely understand why I see so many post and memes about things like: “White people things that black people enjoy” “Black people things that white people should try” “Thing that Asian people should make others do”

It feels like people in the U.S. the moment they see someone skin color they immediately make sweeping generalisations about them (which sounds super racist to me but OK), which also makes integration more difficult, because instead of an interesting mixture of cultures it makes for immovable blocks of stereotypes

Am I just seeing a small bubble of content or missing something or what? Please explain it to me

    This is a very common thing that is said by too many people, politicians, artists, business people, the news, government. It’s like a virus of denial. America is famous for ramping everything up to 1000. Over the top bullshit. And yes, they are complete idiots.

      Maybe my question should’ve had the caveat “who isn’t an obvious extreme idiot”
