Sage Canaday claims racial minority status

I’d say that this thread counts as a form of racial harassment of him. You’re requesting a DNA test of someone to prove they are a minority... I think instead were need IQ tests for thread starters.

Great post and an excellent perspective from someone who has seen what life is like beyond our shores. It's easy for a lot of slacktivists who have never left their American bubble to lose the forest in the trees and think that America is some kind of hellhole when it really isn't.

[b/Also, whoever posted about having a "Heil Hitler" moment, I think we can all agree that kind of hyperbolic language is absurd and that using such inflammatory language to describe a harmless encounter is insulting to people who have encountered actual Neo-nazis or hate groups like the KKK.... Words have meaning, and if you use those words so carelessly you degrade and dilute their true meaning.

LOL wow, I clearly said "let's see the 23andMe results" , hardly a "request", plus I am genuinely interested in his genetic heritage. Of course, you don't care, you would rather cast aspersions on people and see negativity everywhere.

Try looking at the positive for once!

I don't doubt that racism exists. I believe you can find examples of racism in every direction in this country, including from minorities towards white people. I also believe that as a white person, I am far less likely to experience it, and far less likely to experience the worst of it, so I acknowledge that brown/ black people definitely have it worse, and that there is even still institutional racism that we havent stamped out, and that's a problem.

Perhaps our definitions of racism are different. To me it is not simply saying "f**k of you xyz", it is actual racial discrimination, making life more difficult for other races, whether it be unfair selection for jobs, incarceration etc etc

If your skin is so thin that you are upset that a person from a marginalised race calls you a name etc, then 'grow a pair' as they say.

The only countries I know of where minorities did that to majorities is through colonialism, most evidently South Africa under Apartheid, Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) etc where the White minority used force, imposed laws etc to keep the native majority subservient.

Sage's virtue signalling is getting a bit tiresome.

He admits he only pulls up his face mask when another runner passes.

I don't get how Sage can say he is a "minority" with a straight face. He is half Asian, there are billions of Asians in the world. And he is half white, there are billions of white people in the world. Sage is a majority.

And what does being "minority" have to do anything? Japan teamed up with Nazi Germany in WWII and massacred the Chinese based on race and the Japanese were a minority compared to the population of China. Minorities can do just as evil things if not more so.

Actually he is much more a majority if you classify him as Asian. The vast majority of people on Earth are Asian or African. "White people" i.e. Western Europeans and their descendants to include North Americans, are a small minority on a global scale.

I guess he wanted to show solidarity with the jogger that got killed? Idk, it reeks of slacktivism to me....

I call it a "Heil Hitler" moment because I felt like they wanted me to praise the President to avoid harassment. That thought came to mind because of scenes in "The Sound of Music" where characters say that to maintain the facade/ pretend they support Hitler.

Except you said that you didnt tell them you supported trump, and then they left...

Yes, I didn't let them get what they want.

Population Geneticists say that since the ICE AGE receded from Europe 20,000 years ago, allowing mammals to thrive, there have been five major influxes of humans from Asia into Europe.

Pathetic. Liberals love to be a victim. Grow up.

Maybe he's part Asian wrote:

In an Instagram post, Sage writes, "As a racial minority growing up in the US (somewhat), I've experienced some minor discrimination and been called racist things before."

Hmmmm…..Let's see the 23andMe results Sage!! Which racial minority do you belong to?

I'm gonna guess 25% Asian maybe?

DISCUS.

It could be bc Rojo starts threads like this:

Sage claims minority status? Hmmm. I don't know if he is actually half Japanese or not (white gene seems to be very powerful when Asians & Caucasians mix) but if you look at him what group do you think he would join if in San Quentin prison or something? Do you think he would join the Asians? The Whites? Or some other group that he feels is a disadvantaged minority? Pretty sure I know where he would go when it came to this. Comes down to what is of core importance and need...and actual reality.

My guess is that he would claim minority status only when it benefits him.

Not to diminish your experience but I've had much worse encounters with this kind of behavior, and I'm white.

Sage attempting to claim victim points after getting destroyed by Twitter re: his absurd Mask comments. Also, his running form vid was comical. Dude has a terrible stride - wide arms, no hip extension, and too upright of a trunk. Him giving form advice is the equivalent of someone with obesity giving tips on weight loss.

What is this so called power of the white gene? Where do I find it?

Seriously, two people have a kid and its 50/50

In terms of looks, to me I can see instantly that he is mixed.

It is up to him to say whether that has affected the way he has been treated...you don't know that and can't speak for him.

our revelation is the truth wrote:

Right. Another white victim. You literally can't make this stuff up.

He is just like Pocahontas.

Time for Sage to join the real world and get a job.

Something that seems to cause confusion about racism is that people don't have the same definitions - I believe the technical/academic definition of racism is systemic oppression based on race, as opposed to the way "racism" is used in common practice to mean "racial bias" or "racial prejudice" which doesn't need to be systemic or oppressive at all; it can just be one (ignorant) person's opinions.

If we take the academic definition, then of course it's absurd to say that white people in the US are the victims of racism. The latter definition though I imagine everyone has experiences makes - there are all sorts of prejudiced people out there (from and towards every race) and they aren't necessarily quiet about it.

Either way you define it racism sucks, though.
