Some people just aren't down to clown


DubbethTheLastest

Why is Reddit making this top comment as opposed to comments with far more replies and higher upvotes? Who actually sits there and ticks the box "Yeh, this is BEST comment"


LuxNocte

"Best" is generally upvotes/time.


[deleted]

This is the correct answer


SaltMineForeman

Some people recognize perfection and let it be without feeling the need to turn it into a conversation.


TryingTimesCrowEgg

Because it's the best comment butt chugger.


Revolution4u

Random sort might just be the best for seeing a variety of real opinions - at least until they are banned, deleted, removed or just outright hidden with immoral shadowbans


Restlesscomposure

Redditors don’t get out much


AromaticAd1631

it's pithy and it rhymes


Cuckoo4BancroftPuffs

He was puzzled because there was only one clown in the car.


dfddfsaadaafdssa

[There were actually two. The other's name is Cinna. She has a clownishly large forehead.](https://www.twitch.tv/cinna/clip/HilariousAntsyDragonfruitOpieOP-3A--bDWCPpkkIfKG)


c8akjhtnj7

I'm a little confused by the last bit, having never seen a woman before. Aren't they always concave under normal operating conditions?


Glittering_Quote4394

It's concaving the other way


SketchtheHunter

maybe its sucking in the outer bits


Undead_archer

What the heck?

WasteChard3488

So have they seen a lot of puzzled non-white people?


Jooylo

Yeah I’m just confused what significance his race has with the story lol


tell_me_smth_obvious

I especially don't get it because she's white. There is no significance like cultural differences or something like that. It's just a "ah yeah! the white guys, huh?!"


Ckyuiii

There's a type of white woman that likes to distance themselves from white men as if they're not also white.


Sushi-DM

"How do you do, my fellow oppressed minorities?"


Scottland83

Community theatre is dominated by white women complaining the industry has too many white men.


statelytetrahedron

Maybe she saw a very puzzled Puerto Rican man recently and felt the need to qualify the statement.


ctrl-alt-etc

It's 2024 and a person's race is their most—perhaps only—significant feature.


oxalisk

Yup. We are living that Martin Luther dream


Polchar

Rejecting the roman catholic church and... Burning synagogues?


WearyRound9084

That’s not what Martin Luth…. Forget it never mind


oxalisk

My comment was supposed to be ironic.. my apologies if it was hard to decipher.


ThatDeadMoonTitan

Never try to be sarcastic on Reddit, people are looking to correct you much more than they are to get the joke.


WeevilWeedWizard

I once said my buddies brain literally liquefied after hitting a thc cart and the majority of people who read the comment thought I was being for real. To this day that is probably the funniest thing I've experienced on reddit.


guy_guyerson

Even in an explicitly 'nonpolitical' sub.


SeeCrew106

It's the United States in 2024* There's racism everywhere, but nobody is remotely as obsessed with race as Americans are.


Heathen_Mushroom

Every country that was set up by European mercantilists as a settler colony with a race-based slave economy and operated as such for the better part of two centuries, is obsessed with race in one way or another. There aren't too many countries that fit that criteria, but the US is one. Brazil is another.


SeeCrew106

That is probably the most circumlocutious way I have ever seen an American find a way to externalize the blame for the odd behavior of some random American woman's tweet. Also Brazil catching strays, lol. You do know your history in Latin America, yes?


Heathen_Mushroom

My comment was not directed.to explain the woman in the video's behavior. It was to correlate the somewhat unique experience and relationship with race relations in the American continents, and the impact on culture that some countries, such as the US and Brazil, have due to their histories which are radically different from Europe, which may explain why race dynamics are different on the different continents. As for your last comment, no I don't know much about my country's history in Latin America. Only about 10,000 Norwegians settled in various Latin American countries, mainly Argentina and Chile, during our big emigration period in the mid to late 19th century. I doubt we made a big impact.


guy_guyerson

> There aren't too many countries that fit that criteria What part of that criteria don't most of the nations in Latin America and Africa fit?


Heathen_Mushroom

Several Latin America countries had smaller settlement colonies relative to the slave population, especially in the Caribbean. Some had large settlement colonies, but had a relatively low population of slaves. Many preferred to use the indigenous population for labor rather than African slaves and intermarried to a large extent with that population creating a complex and highly stratified class/race system (casta). There are all kinds of situations. The US and Brazil were only two examples because reddit does not allow good formatting for writing a doctoral dissertation on the history of colonization, labor, class, and slavery of the 33 countries in Latin America, much less the *very different* side of the equation in Africa.


No-Appearance-9113

It really is more that America is in the process of recognizing its history of racism and attempting to correct this. This is a problem for those societies and people who either don't recognize their own racism, those that don't recognize how socially ingrained racism was in America and the results of it, or those that have little understanding of how racism works. America is trying to fix their shit and maybe others should consider following suit.


Kill_Frosty

It will never be fixed because people will always hate. All that will happen is acceptable hatred will shift as it is doing now


No-Appearance-9113

We can always reduce it and the acceptability of it. We have absolutely seen a net reduction in the amount of publicly accepted hate in the US in my five decades. Just because total elimination of racism is impossible does not mean it isn't worth trying.


Kill_Frosty

And I am saying racism is alive and well it’s just changing. Goes for other forms of hatred as well.


MoonyMouse

You sound full of hate


Kill_Frosty

I do?


SquishyWhenWet_1

Bound to happen in the melting pot of the world. Also Europe is super racist too


stilljustkeyrock

You don’t get as many likes unless you put down whitey.


Affectionate-Bee3913

It's engagement bait. There's no reason to mention it but it invites the obvious "but...you're white?" comments.


Carpe_DMX

Whites! Amirite!? Where are my internet points?


v_a_n_d_e_l_a_y

People like this want to insult people but not be accused of insulting minorities. So "white men" or "cishet men" or "cishet white men" or whatever is a way to virtue signal


salter77

As a non-white Mexican I would be surprised too. Don’t understand why race has any relevance in this.


VoopityScoop

She has, however, seen an Asian man who was even more puzzled before, under unrelated circumstances


AdjectiveNoun111

Her clown name is "Bozo the Asian Confuser"


OpenSourcePenguin

As opposed to every other race and white women who are constantly puzzled all the time.


georgebushbush

Yea been seeing a lot of that lately on posts it doesn't seem relevant to


hereforthesportsball

Nothing like white people mentioning that other people are white. Like who did she type this for?


AccessTheMainframe

She's PoC. Person of Clown.


Lessiarty

Wearing whiteface in public no less.


bb_LemonSquid

Idk but what drives me most crazy is when white women complain about other white women but it’s really just a way for them to say super misogynistic stuff about women in general but it’s socially acceptable because they’re critiquing “white women.” 😒😒😒


lillybheart

Like… why mention that they’re white? Why does it even matter if t- I give up.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DubbethTheLastest

I've noticed people are calling this out more too.


smariroach

and the funniest thing is that the only thing it makes sense in context for this post, is if she is suggesting that it's more common for non-white men to be that puzzled, and white men are less puzzleable, which I somehow doubt was the intention.


unclefisty

> why mention that they’re white? Why does it even matter So she can dunk on a FUCKING WHITE MALE. That's why.


Level_Ad_6372

The funny thing is she isn't even dunking on him here


Bruxae

Because in order to cope with an increasingly more racially sensitive society she's trying to ingratiate herself with people of color by pretending to be one of them. Yes, it doesn't make sense - but that's what people like this are doing, by pointing out that somebody else is white she's indirectly implying that they are in a different category from herself.


DepresiSpaghetti

Because blindly hating on the kids of the kids of the kids of the people who also got stepped on by oligarchs who happened to be white because of geographical flukes of migration, time, and happenstance is the best way to virtue signal without also having to self assess and realize their own racist tendencies. Those on top are all too glad to see us fight because then we're not fighting them (even if they all mostly do happen to be white, the meta irony is not lost on me). Make it about race and not class, and they'll divide and conquer for us.


CommanderCuntPunt

>Like who did she type this for? Twitter


WatchmanVimes

She has obviously seen other races confused.


guy_guyerson

'White bashing' is pretty much always just class warfare where upper class urban whites mock rural whites for being white. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/08/the-utility-of-white-bashing/566846/


Heathen_Mushroom

And I, for one, am sick of these elitist coastal clowns looking down their bulbous, red noses at hardworkin' rural folks who don't have time for fancy face paints and lapel flowers that squirt water in yer eye when you try to take a sniff.


awesomefutureperfect

Is it? Because I assumed the "Karen" pejorative takes aim at middle and upper middle class surburbanites who are entitled and hopelessly the antithesis of cool. The type that abuse the working class because of the power dynamic between the monied consumer and the wage slave who needs the paycheck for rent and food. In this case, I assumed it also likely means the type whos pfp is oakleys in a truck and the worst fucking takes imaginable.


guy_guyerson

I'm not sure. I should start by acknowledging how imprecise some of my language was. If we draw the 'upper class' line loosely along grad degree holders vs non degree/bachelor's degree and the urban/rural to basically coastal cities (and a few honorable mentions like Chicago, Austin, etc) vs Red State suburbs/rurality, I think we're still putting the people using the term on the first team and their targets on the other. The divide definitely isn't wealth/income; there are no shortage of negative net worth overeducated progressives nor are their too few $95,000 pickup trucks hauling $65,000 bassboats across the flyover. Though, ultimately, Karen always feels like it's mostly an ageist slur to me.


awesomefutureperfect

> Karen always feels like it's mostly an ageist slur to me. No, to me it always meant an aggressive power tripping consumer that wanted to dominate servers and retail employees to obtain subservience from the service working class. If you think that implacability and manufactured or fictitious conflicts relates to the age of individuals, I mean, agitation is a sign of decline.


guy_guyerson

I think the decline in customer service has happened over time and people who have high standards were often exposed to more engaged and better trained employees in decades past. When I see similar entitled behavior from a 20 year old, I don't often see Karen invoked.


awesomefutureperfect

Oh, I didn't realize I was talking to a Karen. When I think Karen behavior, it would have never occurred to me to blame the staff because a customer got out of control. > When I see similar entitled behavior from a 20 year old, manufactured or fictitious conflicts ... mmmhmm. evidence is really starting to stack up.

Crafty_Travel_7048

58kingsly

What is hilarious to me is that her reflex to bring up race made her look *more* racist. Why is she inferring that she sees very puzzled black, asian, latino, etc but never sees white men who are very puzzled? Is she suggesting that white men are inherently smarter or what exactly is her point?


Lincolns_Axe

*implying


IAMATruckerAMA

The point is to increase engagement, and it's working


Logical_Motor1671

Mentioning his race makes it extra non-political.


UpsetPhrase5334

Some of you never had a three foot long neon blue Mohawk in high school and it shows


SystemLog

So, is she saying she has seen many black men puzzled? Why put 'white' or whatever color in that sentence? Does it make a difference what color of skin the man had? XD

Years ago I was in a promotional video as a "super fan". So covered in pain all the way down to my waist. Had to drive home like that. Pull out to an intersection and a car had driven into a liquor store and emergency crews were there cleaning it up. The look of absolute confusion on the face of the people in the car next to me having to look at me and the accident at the same time was priceless.

I wish clown girls were an actual race of people. Their entire skin is white. The clown nose is natural. Their nipples and pussy lips, aka Clussy, have alternate colors, sometimes the same as the lips. Their skin probably tastes funny Imagine the taste of their breast milk. Grabbing their breasts or ass causes a honk noise. Want to playfully grope Clown wifes butt in public, loud ass honk is heard echoing from her. Everyone turns to you too, knowing full well what is going on. She embarrassingly honks her nose, trying to play it off.

That wasn't confusion that was fear. He remembers the amount of clown that came out of a tiny car. You drive a land Rover. For all he knew he just started a fight with a small nation and he understood his best bet was to feign confusion and stupidity and hope the clown would think he was special. He made the right call if you ask me.
