Worst part is all the desis in the replies telling her they don't find it offensive, and Gandy telling them "you can't give these white people an inch." Just a top to bottom outrage bait grifter.

Liberal politics is only identity politics. It's never about class.

Am I just not in the know, or is that a UK thing and not an American thing? The first time I ever heard of it being a slur was in relation to UK politics a few years ago. And I grew up in Boston.

It's more of a south asian thing, of which some live in the UK. It's mostly an in-group thing too, it's their version of "uncle Tom".

It is not really a widely stigmatized slur because to swathes of the Indian-American community being called white is the opposite of offensive

I'm white and I've heard it. Basically when "oreo" got invented so did "twinkie" and "coconut". That being said, I think this is 100% concern trolling.

Not that anyone needs to be stanning Kamala.

Huh, good thing we shorten the Gay term to "twink" or that could cause some international faux pas.

Damn, the glorious explosion of Twinkie cream directly down my throat will never be the same after reading this

I've heard "banana" in a similar context here in Australia because I guess Twinkies aren't common.

Also the Lotus is the symbol of the BJP so it's got those associations with it.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

True she should opt to the lotus and show solidarity to bjp.
