It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Blacks often report higher pain intensity than other cultures

Isn't this code for "they're faking it"? Holy shit.

What book is this from?

I came across this post on Reddit initially and one of the comments accompanying the thread pretty much sums up my thoughts on the matter lmao

Whites: cracker

Whites are likely to request pain medication no matter the circumstance. In White mythology, pain medication is seen as sacred and is used in a ritual process called "getting high"

Willing to admit and prone to exaggerate pain as it elevates their status to show others how much their life sucks

Some Whites will reject medical procedures until traditional witchcraft practices such as "homeopathy" and "chicken noodle soup" are tried first

According to White lore, persons with skin tones darker then uncooked pizza dough are subhuman animals. Whites are likely to reject medical attention from such persons and request a similarly melanin-deficient nurse or doctor to treat them

They may ask for your birthday as they believe your whole-ass personality is determined by it according to their sacred calendar

Will ask for the manager

They believe suffering and pain are inevitable

TIL Black = Buddhist

I forgot how the phrase goes ":cruelty: is the ~~intent~~ point" or something. That speaks so loud right now. Thanks for the link.

[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

I think it's "the cruelty is the point"

Blacks often report higher pain intensity

plus

Black people don't feel pain

makes for a horrifying revelation of the depth of the impunity they feel when they enact violence and indifference on black bodies

I knew it was bad, but jfc

That particular falsehood has roots in America's history of slavery. From the same racist doctor who decided that slaves fleeing captivity had "drapetomania":

Dr. Samuel Cartright, for instance, wrote that blacks bore a “[racist slur] disease [making them] insensible to pain when subjected to punishment”

This textbook was published in 2015 and was pulled from use in 2017

Also wow Nursing Times no need to add the quotation marks. That book is racist not 'racist'.

"""racist"""

i would rather have a homeopathy quack than a yankee doctor, jesus christ

[–] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wtf? "Blessed by a tribal shaman"???? Not that the rest isn't racist, but that's cartoonishly racist.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

idk the Jewish one and the "Blacks often report higher pain intensity than other cultures" (counterpoint: black reports of pain are more often ignored or downplayed) seem, like, precision-engineered racist while that Native American one seems more like a low-effort caricature.

[–] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

I was coming from a "no one actually thinks this way, right? Right??" angle, whereas the others I very much know that people think this way.

The American education system is wild. jesus-christ

No need for a section on Caucasians, everyone who reads that book is already gonna know how they act.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No doubt they consider white people the "default."

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"We need cultural sensitivity training in med school." One finger on the monkey's paw curls.

[–] SerLava@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

What if med school was just a boomer on a mic repeating "what's the deeeal with Native Americans?"

We can't have universal healthcare but we can have universal phrenology in our healthcare
