Revy’s Reviews > White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color > Status Update

reminds me of when i read about Renee good's case. how she stopped being the "right kind" of White Woman When she, idk, cared about human rights and thus deserved to die. it's insane.

reading these examples is giving me hives

even in my country when people whine about women being raped and claiming its all brown immigrants... it's crickets when its a basic ass finnish white man raping a finnish woman.

i read this book like half a chapter at a time since its giving me a headache from sheer anger lmao

my lilywhite skin just means i was born in the northern hemisphere and has fuck all to do with anything else oh my God

every example in this book is giving me a fucking headache i hate it here

hot take but people only invented the whole concept of race just to fuck with anyone they deemed less. it's so fucking stupid. racism is so fucking stupid and makes no sense. literally how do you think you're better than someone just because they're off a different nationality than you and have darker skin than you? stupid stupid stupid stupid

a little google search told me early Finns were actually taken as slaves themselves.. omg.. but it figures, we quite literally became a country with our own identity in 1917. the rest of the time it's mostly either as a continuation of Russia or Sweden. Well, the more you learn.

aside from ofc viking societies in like, the 9th century when afaik prisoners of war were taken as slaves. once again, Finland DIDN'T even exist as a country back then lmao. like.. leave us out of this ok

i do think this book is written well but i keep hoping it wouldn't lump the entire europe together. like..you can't tell me like us Nordics have anything in common with like, Mediterranean countries. Especially in regards to history. Like afaik Nordics didn't keep slaves, esp during chattel slavery. 🤷
