Opus 4.8 has taken such a beating over the last couple of days since the release of fable, videos online of people referring to it like the “redheaded stepchild” (is there a better way of saying this, this sounds racist) basically at this point, everyone is going to be seriously disappointed to fall back to that.
- nozzlegear 4mo ago> is there a better way of saying this, this sounds racist It's not racist or even politically incorrect in the US, it's a common saying.
- dyauspitr 4mo agoYes, I am aware. Kind of paints redheads as unwanted though. Seems hurtful.
- nozzlegear 4mo agoYeah, not sure where the phrase originated but it does sound bad when you put some thought into it. My sister is a redhead and people loved to make fun of her growing up, telling her there's no way two parents with brown hair could have a kid with red hair, so the mailman (who also had red hair) was obviously her dad.
- johndough 4mo agoAs a foreigner, the casual racism against red-haired people in the US and UK always baffled me.
- poszlem 4mo agoIf anything is racist here it's thinking that redheads are a separate race.
- johndough 4mo agoFeel free to replace "racism" with "discrimination" if you prefer. English is not my first language and the minutiae elude me.
