damn, who could’ve possibly seen that coming? 🫥
What an audacious request. I hope it’ll be rejected — this just has “bad idea” written all over it.
Respectfully, how on earth did this design get cleared? 😭
If you are commenting in a Beehaw community, yes, you are using Beehaw. Please be nice in our communities – it’s the one rule we have, and by posting/commenting here, you’re subject to that rule.

This person’s upvoting beans, and you’re all just going to do nothing about it? What a sick world we live in.
There’s not really anything to disagree with. What you’re calling a No True Scotsman isn’t a No True Scotsman argument in the slightest.
Others have already provided a lot of detailed answers to the OP, and the question in and of itself isn’t necessarily harmful even if it misses the point of federation. But this level of aggression is really unnecessary - please keep it nice if you’re participating on Beehaw.
While I appreciate the anger please consider that “mediocre <ethnicity>” is not a very nice way to phrase this.
They are using the original title of the article. As per the sidebar rules - “Preserve the original title when possible.”
Also given the recent demographic pole there are many “white” people here who are likely on your side. It particularly hurts when people on your side use language like this.
To be honest, I don’t find this phrasing nearly as harmful as people of color being told for decades that they weren’t as qualified or deserving to be admitted into Ivy League schools compared to white applicants and that the only reason they were “allowed” is because of their race. Nor does it really compare to the harm caused by decades of subjugation, discrimination, and generational wealth disparity.
I personally disagree with the sentiment that going child-free is the solution to ecological catastrophe. Any individual’s decision to have children, or not, hardly compares to the systemic issues within agriculture and natural resource management which are causing it.
I thought beehaw was supposed to be the “nice” instance. You and others have done a wonderful job proving that otherwise today.
Well, the original comment in this thread which upset you came from your own instance. From where I’m sitting, that comment has been pretty much the only not-really-nice interaction you’ve had all day on here. Don’t really see where this strawman is coming from.
Could you add the link to your post?
A country born by old white men which will die by old white men. Begins with a revolution to sever ties with a monarchy, ends with a coup to bring it back. We are truly coming full circle. 🤡
Sir, the Lord Almighty better come down and take you back with him. Take Trump too, while he’s at it.
After that debate and all the things he’s said since, Biden’s image is at an all-time low. As ableist and ageist as it is, people think he’s a senile old man in the late stages of cognitive decline, with no business running a government. I doubt he or his campaign are going to do what they need to do to overcome that perception, and I doubt the Democratic Party will make the right calls either. “Decades of civil service” and “somewhat better than Trump” etc. are not going to be enough.
