No one is angry. That's the point. The point is that no one should care about race, but everyone all of the sudden is.

- krapp 5y agoBut we're talking about expanding the color palette on a set of icons. If no one is angry about it, why do people keep complaining about it? >The point is that no one should care about race, but everyone all of the sudden is. This doesn't read like the opinion of someone who isn't angry about something.
- smegger001 5y agoNot angry, exhausted. Tired of everything becoming new theater in the culture war. Tired of things that were intrinsically neutral and apolitical before are being changed for no reason other than to make it another battleground.
- open0 5y agoMaybe things were neutral for you, but not for others? Man I wish I could see a face attached to every comment in this thread.
- smegger001 5y agoperhaps its better that no one can see the skin tone of any of commenters because then comments have to be judge on the merits of their arguments rather than melanin concentration in the skin of the people saying them.

- betwixthewires 5y agoI think what people are getting at with this (and trying to be cordial about it as best they can) is that the only people that want to have a separate image for every color person on the planet are racists.
- krapp 5y agoHow are they racist? What races are they discriminating against? What racial stereotypes are they expressing?
- betwixthewires 5y agoI've been told the last several years that you don't have to discriminate to be racist. I think the idea that you feel somehow wrong using images to express yourself that are the color of a different race is just a little racist.
- jmull 5y agoThe post that was being replied to sounds worked up about it to me. "the one that gets me...", "WHY?"
- account42 5y agoReads more like confusion rather than anger to me.
