      Neither did I. I may still not understand it. But I googled salon article and found a site with that name that publishes progressive news and opinions. So I guess they are saying a lot of couples are opposite in opinion on these things. They might be joking about the one spouse being oblivious to their partners racism or having double standards or something.

        Pretty much. I personally find it funny because I know one of these couples. It’s obviously not 1/3, but they do exist.

        Sometimes the gal can be racist. My friends tried to hook me up with a cute lady who had an amazing accent. Turns out, she was south-african and very quickly let me know that ending apartheid was a mistake because “some people just can’t prepare for modern life”.

        Noped right the fuck out of setting up that date.

          Only if you think being hetero means racist. Says more about you than anyone else.

            I’m a little confused.

            If I said a 3rd of gay men are racists, I would expect most people to consider this homophobic.

            I would expect the same to apply to heteros. We’re all people here.

            Maybe I’ve misunderstood something, and maybe the above isn’t true?

              You’re absolutely right. The comic above is absolutely prejudiced, it’s just targeting a group that’s seen as more privileged, and thus “punching up” and so it’s ok. BS is what it is.

            Sure sure. So if I made a post essentially saying 1 in 3 black men are violent, it’s only racist if you believe black men are violent. Says more about you than anyone else.

            Hopefully you can see why that doesn’t work.

      I think the point is that she’s a nice person in general and he’s a very racist POS.

      It’s funny because it’s soooo true!
      In fact in MY suburbs, you see it in FIVE out of every FOUR hetero couples! Now waddaya think of that, huh?
