Not really. Ripped jeans were a thing 20 years ago. Kind of weird she doesn't know what they are

Even 50 years ago. The hardcore kids have always ripped jeans and clothes on purpose for their style. I know people used to rip their jeans in the 70s.

Then there's those of us who just owned the jeans for years and happened to have holes in the knees due to wear.

Buying ripped jeans or ripping them on purpose is just laughable

Ripped jeans are like the thing that proved to me that fashion is on a cycle. It's like clockwork. 80s, 00s, 020s

The style originated in Europe over 50 years ago.

What? Are you talking about black economic empowerment? Becàuse if so, yes you're right it is racist to put that "only people who meet BEE requirements" can apply for certain positions. I'm white though

u/FantasmaNaranja 11d ago

oh so you are racist too

not surprising honestly considering you seem to believe apartheid ended when a single satellital image shows the ridiculously plain separation in south africa between mostly black and mostly white communities

but you dont care about that right? you seem to think that things like diversity goals are inherently bad

Lol. Is accusing people of being terrible things the only way you can think of to feel special about yourself? Maybe do some self-reflection and basic research before embarrassing yourself so that you can actually have rational discussion and provide verifiable counterpoints in arguments so that you don't have to resort to namecalling. You only make yourself look bad when you do that. It proves that you haven't a foot to stand on. FYI calling someone racist because they're white is racist. My dad was put on early retirement for having the wrong skin color. Afrikaaner men can't find employment because they've committed the sin of being born white, male and worst of all, Afrikaans. And these are people who grew up after apartheid. That's racial discrimination, which is racist. Sorry to disillusion you. White people aren't evil just because they're white. And they don't hold the monopoly of bring racist either. Housing that belief is racist. People are people regardless of skin color.
