Just so you know, the phrase you’re thinking of as historic and racist is “colored people”. People of Color is a more modern example of people-first language that has been broadly accepted as politically correct. Admittedly, at face value it seems like a very minor difference, but the historical context of a slur is 90% of the problem a lot of the time, so here we are.

I’m 80% sure that’s Chris Evans.
TheTetrapod@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Announcement TrailerEnglish311·12 days agoI know it’s been said a thousand times, but the books really are immensely better than the show. And they have a proper ending! The last 3 unadapted books are arguably the best part of the series, and Alex is there since there was no dipshit actor to get himself fired.

The person in the picture definitely has a slightly unusual figure, I think exaggerated by their clothes, which could be perceived as a generation error. The image also has a certain painterly tone to the colors that resembles that of an AI image.

TheTetrapod@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•got the bratwurst from the back of the grillEnglish1·21 days agoMeh, I’m no patriot, but I think American English is largely fine. Minced meat sounds gross, and for some reason when you drop the ‘d’ it means fruit. So yes;
Hamburger in lasagna
Hamburger in meatloaf
Hamburger in Shepherd’s Pie (no one’s ever heard of cottage pie)
Not hamburger in tacos, once cooked and seasoned we call that taco meat (you may have a point).
TheTetrapod@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•got the bratwurst from the back of the grillEnglish2·22 days agoFor the record, Americans refer to all ground beef as hamburger, cooked or raw. Hence the once-popular boxed dinner called “Hamburger Helper”, which allows you to prepare something stroganoff-adjacent with the contents of the box and a pound (unit of weight) of hamburger (ground beef).

Anti white discrimination is occasionally a thing. Anti white racism is not a thing because white isn’t a race.
Some of the boards use a system called tripcodes, which are essentially a username and password in one that are used when writing individual posts. It allows people to prove that they’re the same person across multiple posts, without anything as identifying as a user profile attached.
That’s so much grosser and arguably just as carcinogenic.
