So, Elon dislikes that white people can't be proud of being white.
Why would a person of any race be proud of their race? Shouldn't people be proud of their own accomplishments, and those of the people they've helped?
I never really understood the rationale here. I support Pride Month for example, but I think the language is kind of wrong.
Shouldn't people be proud, despite traits which have historically been denigrated?
This is a serious question BTW.
why would a person of any gender would be proud of their gender? You seem pretty selective.
The irony of claiming I'M the selective one by quoting me, but missing the next line which reads "I think the language is kind of wrong".
The implication is I support the idea of a time to celebrate marginalised communities and to raise awareness for their current battles, but I think the word "pride" is the wrong word.
Damn, can you just say: "well my bad, indeed I'm contradicting myself".
LGBTQI are not marginalized anymore, they are becoming noisy now and it starts to become a bit too much... we have now a "pride month", wtf.
It's not a contradiction at all.
The intent behind saying "I support pride month" was about what it represents, not the vocabulary used, which is what I went on to articulate.
I'm really not looking to get into it, but I am convinced LGBTQIA+ people are marginalised and discriminated against.
