seriously. where are all these masses coming from who think a cat’s coloring affects their personality? what the fuck?

even though we’re also super racist, this at least is not a thing here. it’s never been a thing.

what the fuck.

I have noticed this. It went from “Look at my dumb orange cat failing to jump onto the wardrobe :)” to “He’s orange, ofc he’s a low IQ Untermensch” in real time.

I don’t think it started maliciously, and yet here we are.

I used to have an orange cat and he was a lazy little himbo who once got a ladybug stuck on his nose.

yeah, i think it’s just that the only framework they have for understanding the world is racism, so it naturally gets applied to everything

First time I heard the dumb orange cat stereotype was a few years ago, and I just thought wtf. Literally made no sense to me.

Yeah, don’t forget that all pitbulls are always aggressive 100% of the time. /s

It always come down to racism/bigotry based on nothing.

come to think of it, anglos have long believed that red haired people have tempers. something like that. so maybe this is just a natural extension of that idiocy.

Anglos think all the stereotypes they grew up seeing in cartoons is total gospel, it would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

It’s because it’s become uncouth to just say, “Man, fuck the Irish.”

i think they had this idea even in the 19th century, and it was certainly popular to say “fuck the irish” back then.
