That blog post was why I decided to not use them too. Specifically their line about
> "and we have no interest in living in a sea of mayonnaise."
What is that even supposed to mean?? Who refers to people as "mayonnaise"?? While claiming to be against racism??
- ulucs 6y ago>Who refers to people as "mayonnaise"?? Racist people I'd guess
- cauthon 6y agoI read it as a succinct and derisive dismissal of white supremacist beliefs, particularly racial purity.
- busymom0 6y agoAnyone who refers to people as "mayonnaise" and "curry" are racist themselves.
- iamacyborg 6y agoWon’t someone please think of the white people
- JacobSuperslav 6y agoit's getting harder to be white day by day. /s
- cfcosta 6y agoPlease both of you refer to the rules, specially the part about assuming good intent.
- iamacyborg 6y agoI’m not sure what good intent was meant by calling folks racist.

- throwaway0x1 6y ago>Won’t someone please think of the white people IMAX-level projection. All you can do is neurotically "think of the white people" all day. Remember, soyboy self-loathing is a real, measurable phenomenon, and they're the only group who do it: https://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-news-and-politics/284875/americas-white-saviors https://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-news-and-politics/284875/am...
- ulucs 6y ago>racial purity Not to be confused with the antiracist belief that people shouldn't date outside their race bacause... it's colonialism?
- ldx77 6y ago> Who refers to people as "mayonnaise"?? Self-hating white liberals.
- vinay427 6y agoThis reductionism seems like identity politics at its worst. It sounds like you're saying that anyone who identifies as white (regardless of how arbitrary this race is) must avoid using a term you find disrespectful to describe their race, and doing otherwise means that they are hating themselves?
- flippinburgers 6y agoThe post would have been just as effective without that oddly phrased phrase. It is a strange jab at "whiteness" which, I think, reveals the general attitude of the people running the company. Personally I think they should remove that sentence. It isn't a good look.
