Everyone knows Basque is the only real language, and every other language was designed by Benedictine monks to prop up the story of the Tower of Babel
I've been rewatching a lot of Futurama lately so I read that last response in Dr. Zoidberg's voice and now I can't get over how well it fits.
In canβt tell if this is a Measurehead parody done in poor taste, or an actual phrenologist. Iβm leaning heavily to the former, not even Nazis are that blatant anymore.
I feel like it's probably an actual phrenologist because he implies dutch white people were created by Yakub which is really down the black supremacist rabbit hole.
Edit: youtube video on the subject

I had to read some actual phrenologist papers from the late 1800s/early 1900s for a college class I took on racism and wow it is some WILD shit. Like the base level is the skull measurements but a lot of those crackpots tried to rope in literally every academic and religious subject they could.
Also fun fact the guy who my university department was originally named after believed that black people weren't just unintelligent but that melanin made your skull a different shape which also made you less intelligent. It was only found out after some of his diaries were sold at auction. School was named after him for like 70 years.
What's the saying? A broken click is right twice a day?
I'm pretty sure they're doing a parody of dipshit white supremacists who genuinely believe that cranial measurments matter
Black supremacists are something we can joke about because they don't hold power the way white supremacists do. I'm never sure how to feel about this kind of stuff.
Yeah, like when I first saw 
it was just kinda funny to me because actual black supremacists hold literally 0 power so it didn't effect me at all
If you think white supremacists don't get mocked, maybe check out The Daily Show sometime.
This is the fediverse. You are supposed to feel outraged. All the time. At everything. No humor. Only righteous anger.
yakubian ape always gets me 
Is that a reference to the Chris Rock neoslur "yakoo" from SNL?
Thank you!
After reading the article I'd be surprised if Rock/his writers didn't base "yakoo" on this.
No worries :)
briish this, frnch that. itβs time for the d*tch to enter the spotlight
The Netherlands is the best German province πͺπͺπͺπ©πͺπ©πͺπ©πͺ
It really is an ugly language. English, French and German, all smashed together with all sorts of extra vowels.
I'm hoping to get an asylum in Netherlands later this year, and a lot of memes about it fill me with dread
to be honest I think the Netherlands is an amazing country, and I would love to visit one day! it's just that their language is so strange and odd imo
Learning it in Duolingo right now - I'll have to know it at some level to get citizenship later - and it really is weird
I have a plan Arthur
We cannot give up now arthur
HAVE SOME GODDAMN FAITH
It was genuinely funny until he brought up Yakub, but that's honestly really cringe at least
