Yeah, I mean, they should! I personally find Eichel more interesting personality-wise than Matthews. But a casual fan or someone who's never watched hockey stumbling onto it through NBC isn't going to have that kind of perception of them. People like players they feel they can relate to, and geography and ethnicity are big parts of that.

And I care nothing for your white fragility.

I feel like one of the other US fast food places that likes to market themselves as alternative should snap up Kessel and his grumpy cat affect. He could really break out.

I'm going to read "white fragility" as "tuna salad" forever now.

To be fair, "tuna salad" is more "white inability to make good food."

That's egg salad.

I wasn't one of the people wanking about whether or not people should use mayo as a descriptor because I honestly don't care. I do, however, have strong feelings about tuna salad, which is delicious.

Knowing white doesn't make them any less white, and mayo as an insult originated to make fun of whiteness, not to make fun of boring people that ~cool white people don't like.

Dude, not that I like the ayrt's attitude but mayonnaise as an insult for white people has been around since at least the 1970s and it probably hit SNL before you were even born. The ship has sailed on white people not using it.

Egg salad and potato salad are both abominations. Mayonnaise and mustard should never be mixed.

You calling it "wank" when someone says your love for tuna salad is a white thing is pretty much white fragility, tho.

There can be more than one!

You'll be happy to know PoC have been fully integrated into society and also know white! Unfortunately, the white we know consistently fucks up our shit, so maybe the terminology we originated does have meaning you're not privy to!

The "ship has sailed" on a lot of things but we... can... still... dislike... them??? (Like, the ship has sailed on white people wearing dreadlocks and bindis and warbonnets, ad infinitum, ad nauseam)

If Crosby is mayo, hockey is tuna salad.

Well, I knew this thread was going to be wanky, but meme is always coming up with new things to wank about.

It's not like there's a lack of ways to insult white people that this one way needs to be protected.

lmao at someone getting defensive when tuna salad is called "white" and then claiming they aren't fragile about it...

Groups self-referencing pejoratives aimed at them is not at all the same as cultural appropriation.

Well, firsf of all, white people aren't really in a place where they can justify reclaiming an insult against them, but do you really think white people are any less ridiculous about any other possible insult? Remember when y'all were calling "Becky" a slur?

No, it's the fact that this use of it obscures the fact that brown and black people use it to make fun of whiteness (not just a particular boring individual), and that white people using it in the way that they do are positioning themselves like they aren't a part of what's being made fun of. It's like, white people making fun of whiteness like they aren't white themselves.
