Truth.
A certain segment of the population are incapable of accepting personal responsibility for themselves. They have to have others to blame.
Okay, aside from the obvious “what the fuck happened to all the people” racist Thanos snap of it all, my real question is this: who is left behind? Because “white” is a made up category. I have 2% African ancestry, do I stay or do I go now? I have some level I don’t remember if Asian ancestry, less than 5 percent. I also have higher than average neanderthal DNA. Does that part count as white? They’re likely European Neanderthals… Go far enough back, obviously, and all humans are African descended.
Where do we draw the line? Because honestly, if there’s some weird racist god out there snapping away people based on their DNA, I need to know the rules so I can make proper arrangements!
Was just about to comment “you reckon the magical racist thanos snap would finally recognize north african and north Indian and middle-eastern and circassian and… groups as white now or still no?”
Yes, In the early 20th century, Irish and Italians didn’t count, so the O’Reillys and Giulianis that people conservative (xenophobic) America would have a sharp surprise.
They had all the other colors (and even fire red with cool patterns !) and the white people STILL organized themselves by eye color 🤦
Lol exactly my first thought.
This is confusing. The are more than “white” and “black”. If it’s only white people left, does that mean anyone that’s not of pure European descent is also gone? Is there a fraction that’s allowable? 3/5ths?
We’d be looking at a potential extinction-level event for Homo Sapiens, in any case. It would be hard to come back from that.
There are about as many people in Europe now as there were in the whole world just before the Industrial Revolution. I know quite a lot of Europeans aren’t “white”, but humanity would be far from extinction.
Also 3/5 compromise is wild lol
Probably try to figure out what the hell happened. the majority of the population of earth vanishing would be a bit alarming
White are a minority ? That was unexpected
White people make up approximately 15-16% of the population https://factually.co/fact-checks/society/white-population-percentage-world-f6aeb8
Damn why I never got dei benefit that s unfair
Yep. Here is a cool map to help visualize it in your head.
Cool map thanks
Only for people who have never opened a geography book.
My theory is that there’s a US flag every few meters in the USA because they are so bad at geography that they wouldn’t know in which country they are.
US? Did you mean the divided states formerly known as the country between Mexico and Canada?
Those of their citizens that would need a flag to know where they are would always just assume that they are in Magastan regardless of what they see around them.
Hair color is easier to see from afar. That’d be first.
Well, of course. Do you want a bunch of soulless gingers plaguing the earth?
It’d start out as more jokes, of course. And then over time you’d have to wonder more and more whether any particular joke was serious.
That’s basically M.I.A.'s Born Free music video. It was really controversial back when it was released but now it seems prophetic.
Ginger liberation!
For kids of all nations!
I’ve lived in a place that was “all white” and they divided themselves up by nationality. Poles, Ukrainians, Slovaks, Czech, Italian.
There would be bars people would avoid because they were harassed for not looking right.
This was in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre at the turn of the millenium. Since then there’s been an influx of Hispanic people and now all the “whites” hate them together.
Also Italians weren’t considered white either, in the late 1800s and early 1900s. They were above POC, but barely. They had to “prove their whiteness”. Also Irish were predominantly Catholic so fuck them too. Its why a lot went on to become police, to show they weren’t “filthy degenerate thieves” and served the community.
“No dogs No blacks No Irish”
We already did that one
Hair color is too easy to change. White people really value the immutable
Me chuckling with the inability to tan: “Who’s white now?”
Nah we already hate gingers
Good news there. My hair is white, too.
Probably would go back to discriminating by nationality or culture.
And religion
Italian jokes are back on the menu bois!
Irish jokes never left
Find jobs for all the cops?
Start leaving my house unlocked again.
Only white people.
Asia: empty
Africa: empty
Maybe southern Europe also empty
Does this fix climate change?
No, we’ll just consume more.
We’re doing a lot of bullshit. Research shows we could maintain our effective lifestyle while cutting consumption by up to 60%
No, because 10% of richest people on Earth (majorly Western Bloc, including Europe) are responsible for 50-66% of global emissions.
For example:
Ethiopian is responsible for 0.14 tonnes of CO2 emissions yearly on average.
A Swede on average is responsible for 3.43 tonnes of emissions.
An American is responsible for 13.83 tonnes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions_per_capita
The issue isn’t overpopulation, not at all, but that we have a bunch of countries with hyperconsumerist economy, a car in every household, high electricity usage, accessible red meat, air-conditioning etc.
White is about 10% of the population. It doesn’t matter much that the 7 billion gone used less than them. 8 billion to 800 million. It feels like it can’t help but reduce the world CO2 output significantly
And then the economic damage of losing Asia is unimaginable. You’ve never seen a depression like that would be. No manufactured goods would be available until Europe and the remains of America bring up industry
Check to see if the Asian people are still okay.
A more cynical answer is to buy as much property on the south side of Chicago as possible before the prices skyrocket.
Asian people will divide themselves by skin color, features or nationality, too. Not immune to racism. Its partly a survival instinct from the past that is rearing its ugly side.
I’d miss my wife 🥲
I’d spend the rest of my life looking for my kids.
Me too
We’d all miss their wife.
Hey maybe they’ll find some novel division. Or be even more cliche and rank by paleness so having a tan is a sign of inferiority.
We do that already by hair color. Like, did you know red heads don’t have any soul? Just saying.
We still doing blonde jokes? I feel like I haven’t seen one since Miss South Carolina became the epitome of them.
We could all look exactly the same and all be Christian, and the Protestants and Catholics would gang up on the Baptist’s and Assembly of God and kill every one they can find.
… and they’d by delighted in their handiwork and brag to their grandchildren with pride.

Eight million dead in the 1600s, they didn’t even have AK-47s. Protestant vs. Catholic. Same race.
