It’s pretty hilarious because after superbowl the whole internet is flooded with American football memes and half time show gifs and “Beyonce is flawless” all over my dash but when an entire continent does a fun contest, they flip their shit
Basically.
Also, have you seen Tumblr - or the entirety of English speaking internet for that matter - the fourth of July? So please stop pretending you only flood Tumblr with US-centric “serious business” Tumblr. Everyone knows that’s not true at all.
lmfao we’re white now? I thought Italians, Spaniards, Greeks, Israelis and people from the Balkans were not white according to Tumblr
I cannot spend one minute on this blogging site without American culture, shows, music, politics and standards being violently shoved down my throat, and I’m sure it’s the same for my fellow non-American bloggers.
Everyday, Americans want to teach us about our own history and culture, and forcefully demand us to apply their racial standards to our continent.
If we write posts about European issues, they can only reach a maximum of 500 notes, because god forbid Americans caring about something that isn’t about them, and we never manage to spread the awareness those issues deserve.
But for three days out of 365 we have this event that is all about Europe, a harmless (well, it depends from the point of view), fun contest during which we finally feel included in this goddamn site, it’s about us, for once.
But no, you all can’t really handle not being at the center of everyone’s attention for three days a year, so what do you do? The best thing you can do, obviously: find ridiculous ways to apply your crappy social justice.
Talking about “whites” is already pushing your racial standards down our throats, since that expression can’t really apply to ours, and I’m still trying to understand what *your* racism has to do with the whole thing.
Also, yes, now Southern Europeans are now magically white, we always are when it’s convenient for you. I hope you do realize that Greeks, Italians, Spaniards etc. don’t exist only when you need to prove your point.
And I’m not even going to discuss this topic further, I’m tired, and your US-centric brains can’t process the existence of people who don’t fit into your black/white dichotomy anyway.
This is making Americans angry, keep reblogging.
“I hope all european whites die at this point”
Imagine being so self-absorbed that you only tolerate American things being talked about. I kind of wish Eurovision was aired every evening to piss off specifically that one person.
Anyone remember that “Slavs are POC because they have been oppressed by evil Western Europeans but are White at any other time” discourse ?? Because it fucking haunts me every time
I almost tried doing that, and it felt like my spine was gonna shoot out my ass so I laid back down
what the fuck is happening
It’s a common fair ride (it’s called the starship 2000 at the fair I go to) where it spins really fast and you get stuck to the walls via centrifugal force.
