Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Hey ... I'm a big brown long haired red skinned Indigenous person ... you can see me coming from a mile away.
I've had people scream, yell, say, suggest, comment, off the cuff, passive-aggressively, overtly, covertly, obviously, secretly and blatantly be racist to me behind my back and to my face many many times ... more often passively but a few times openly and blatantly. I've had some pretty ugly things said to me either directly or indirectly because of the colour of my skin and what I look like.
I think some old white guy with a good station in life can handle being called a 'boomer' online.
For fucking real. It's kind of hilarious how quickly they started crying the second that a single 'slur' was made against them lol
Same with "Karen", which is only ever applied to behaviors.
How is this helpful? Either using slurs is wrong or its not. Take a guess what happens when you give the majority a reason to dismiss your objections to their behaviour.
You are making it more difficult to fix the problems that exist because these 2 comments only tell bad actors that they dont want equality they want superiority. Why would a group that has privilege give up that privilege just to be treated as badly as they treat others?
Sure its ducking rediculous that this is the thing that gets a reaction, and not the endless horrors that have been done to people over history, but as long as we are willing to say, "fuck YOUR problems because you have the wrong colour of skin" you arent going to fix a damn thing, merely exchange one wrong position with another.
Your entire comment hinges on a single false assumption. That boomer is a slur. It isn't.
Exactly!
Man, these snowflakes and their checks notes avocado toast (Jim, is that still relevant? Okay, whatever.) are just full of themselves and don't understand how hurtful it is for the generation that fucked around and left others to find out to hear a word. A word! (Seriously, who wrote this?) So, lets all be a bit kinder to the elders and stop calling people out on their bullshit. (Ok, a boomer had to write this copy. I quit.)
A lot of evil in the modern world stems from how he really can't.
Born and raised in America. But Im brown skin.
Not a year goes by where someone doesn't say some racist shit to me like "go back to where you came from". And yet here I am.
Boomers offended by being called a boomer? What snowflakes.
The go "back to where you came from" argument is very stupid considering they came from Britain
