minus-squareMataVatnik@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·7 months agoI read that a more apt metaphore would be a shirt that says Paleface, with a skinny white dude on it. Cause this shirt actually goes hard.
minus-squareisthingoneventhis@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months ago“red necks” is usually referring to a specific lot of folk, whereas the original context (of what this is poking at) “referred” of an entire group of people, so saying “caucasians” is more 1:1.
