For some reason, subjugating other races has never crossed my mind. I guess this is because I don't live in 18 fucking 90.
This author seem to be injecting racism to bash something they personally dislike.

I actually went to the Pulp Fiction Books on Main Street and asked the owner why he tweeted it, since that's where I originally read it. After going into his store and engaging him on it, he said white males need to suck it up and that we're privileged and throwing it in people's faces, etc etc. I then said if he discriminates against white men who choose the vintage style, that it's racist. He said "Yeah well, I'm racist then, get out of my store!" I told baldy to suck my dick and I left. Pulp Fiction Books owner Chris Brayshaw is racist against white hipsters : vancouver
Discrimination against anyone sucks. The article especially sucks when posting quotes from 1908 when racism was mainstream and widely adopted. I DO poke fun at all of the rich asian kids in Lambos with N's on the back but I would never be rude to them or unwelcoming as a result. This is Vancouver, make your money, smoke dope with your neighbors and enjoy life!
Fuck RS and Vancouver would suck if it weren't for the variety of people here, and slamming one group's chosen attire is fucking weak sauce no matter who they are.
I'll admit there is a slippery slope when it comes to "what is acceptable" to wear in public. Should you be allowed to wear a KKK outfit in the hood? Yes, you should, but...
I mean, it WOULD be kind of weird for a man to ride the Skytrain in winter while wearing a pink bikini and feather boa, but it's not like I'd demand someone shouldn't be allowed to if they wanted to commute to work like that. |
