A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here. (lemmy.world)

There is a lot of native racism, absolutely.

We don’t have the same history as the US does with racism though. If you think the US and Canada’s history of race relations is at all similar, you’re just ignorant about the subject.

Racism exists everywhere, yes. Not that it’s right, but it’s also not the same country to country.

Is japan racist? Yup, same with Sweden and Africa and the Caribbean and the UK and Egypt.

I’ve been to all of these places and interacted with the humans who live there.

But it’s not all the same.
