Let us not be afraid to ask the tough questions
 

Is Amish Paradise by Weird Al Yankovic racist?

No.

Except for that one line where he calls a bunch of Amish folks the n word it's really not.

but he's dressing up in their cultural uniform and making jokes about the 5 things people know about amish people. also the amish are not hostile towards technology but the video depicts them destroying electronics, vinyl records, and telephones. also he conflates amish and mennonites. not the same.

also he calls them primitive

not gonna lie though I LOLed at the part with the centerfold

I don't think the Amish are a race

no but they are a distinct cultural, religious, and arguably ethnic group.

They’re Swiss

Religions are made to be mocked.

this is pc runk amonk!

video proof is in the video.

A white guy mocking a minority of people because of stereotypes and misconceptions?

STOP. THE. PRESSES.

This thread is a joke right? I mean :rolleyes:

It's always serious business down here in gen pop.

I'm asking the questions here

also they are distinct cultural group and I'm pretty sure at this point you could identify an Amish person via their DNA because it's been an exclusive population for half a millennium. not sure what you are rolling your eyes at

actually Weird Al has a Jewish parody too but he's not Jewish :/

Taco Grande is pretty funny

It wasn't a particularly tough question though.

churn butter once or twice
livin' in an amish paradise

Must be awful to be white and overanalyze everything while hating your own skin color because of the ever-growing societal role of political correctness and white shaming.

But that's just a black perspective on your posts in general. :banging:

It's less awful than to not think about those things.

Lets not grade awfulness shall we.

That's fair!

nah it's not less stupid to float "white shaming" because "btw black"

petition to ban

Kindness Regime gotta put up a wall real quick before all these barbarians on the SP board breach our city

heh, did I hurt your white-guilt?

lmfao this guy just called me a cuck via rep ^

White people are doing just fine without you worrying about the political correctness boogeymen and conflating awareness of one's privilege as self-hate.

I love the whole "white guilt" fear.

"We should all ignore how lasting impacts of past racist institutions disadvantage some groups compared to others, because addressing those things make me feel guilty!"

Literally "discussing these topics hurts my feelings." Like, if hearing about these things makes you feel badly about yourself, that's unfortunate, but that's a personal issue. The entire world isn't going to be a safe space. Maybe some people need to toughen up and realize that being told they've been given certain advantages isn't a personal attack against them.

yeah, that mindset is woefully pathetic :(

seriously. it's not like people are being attacked for being white. just is good to appreciate your own privilege and try to understand those who are disadvantaged.

We should get rid of all white people. I'm willing to be sacrificed for the betterment of mankind.

All males should be gotten rid of too.
The human race should be reset and organized by black women exclusively. Start the matriarchy.

BLUE LIVES MATTER

hard to argue with that

wait, I am a man!

puzzled muzzle seems terrified to ask the tough questions

I would like to think that if women killed all the men and took over they might spare me and keep me as a pet or something cause I'm trying my best over here
