At the risk of losing brain cells, I’m extremely curious what her reasoning is here.
Is it just cause it’s childish? Is shaming men for liking childish things not enforcing toxic masculinity?
If Cindy is commenting on him liking something she considers childish, then Cindy is indeed a bitch.
But if she’s commenting on his apparent expectation that it be free for men in their twenties as if he’s owed something, that I can kinda see her point.
Would be nice if she made her point in a way in which her meaning could be clearly understood.
He didn’t say that it shouldn’t also be free for other subsets of society.
Sorry the government doesn’t have the funds to subsidize go-kart rides. That money has already been sent to Argentina.
free and mandatory for all the drivers that drive significantly below the speed limit, and they have to compete and earn a rank to be let out again
Guess I’m gonna start being chronically late for work…just like the poor fucks stuck behind me! Free go karting here I come!
He directly implied it
weakly
Yea, but it’s a safer assumption that plenty of other jumps to conclusions. lol
You heavily assumed it
Reading must be very difficult for you with that level of comprehension.
If he didn’t mean only men, there’s less than no reason to specify men nor an age range.
Please, learn to read. For your own sake.
The child is lashing out lol, adorable. You wanna say more mean words to make you feel better?
lol you’re too dumb to hold a conversation. Congrats.
“Engagement”
Maybe because he advocates for something to be free for men instead of everybody?

As a guy, I biologically need to go-kart once a month.

It is awesome, the best is “slick tracks”. You get to power slide the ass around.
No, but it is passively transphobic, in that you’re forgetting that men and non-binary people may also use tampons. Tampons and every other necessity should be free for everyone.
I don’t think think so. I’m not even sure my interpretation was actually why she reacted that way.
I’m just curious how she expects us to educate ourselves about this.
The feminist literature on go-karts does seem to be a bit thin.
Maybe she just really wants to encourage women to go to college.
It’s definitely related.
Not exactly childish, but usually you can apply it more broadly as a man enjoying something that isn’t seen as outwardly productive.
Before seeing the reply, my l reaction to his post was “this is some bullshit. I wanna ride go-carts too.”
Cindy needs to calm down though. I’m sure he didn’t mean women wouldn’t be allowed on the track; just that this man really likes go-carts.
Maybe it’s sexist to imply only men like go karts
Maybe him having “Caucasian James” as a handle makes her think he’s a racist? (Which is itself silly since it’s more likely a reference to The Office, but it’s all I can come up with.)
karting isnt childish unless youre in a child kart. there are karts that haul ass
The red flag I see is the word “Caucasian” in his username.
Perhaps it’s just to avoid confusing him with other varieties of Jameses out there
maybe hes from the Caucasus
Given that I can think of at least three white guys names James off the top of my head that’s a really stupid way to avoid confusion, and I feel like someone would only miss how stupid that was if they had a weird obsession with their own skin color, so it’s actually two red flags
Asian Jim is a character on the US version of The Office. I suspect this is a play on that.
Ah yeah, that would make a lot more sense
I suspect it’s a joke based on The Office. Oe of the main characters is a Triscuit-American called Jim. There is a different character called Asian Jim. Caucasian James = white Jim.
But “Caucasian” is now recognized as a racist term (in that using it produces racism), kind of because it’s a science-y word for “white”, an unscientific concept.
Who recognizes “Caucasian” as a racist term? I’m asking this in all seriousness as I have never heard this before
Caucasian should mean “from the Caucus mountain region”
As a science term for “white”, see “Too Many Scientists Still Say Caucasian” in Scientific American, also “Abandoning the word Caucasian” in the Journal of Genetic Counciling and “The Ongoing Incorrect Use of Caucasian in Medical Research” in the journal Health Equity. There are a bunch of scientists who think this.
I think if you are actually describing something or someone from the actual Caucasus mountain region, it would be correct, but people might thing you meant “white” so even then you might be better off with “from the Caucasus Mountains”.
Thank you for this.
My understanding was “caucasian” applied to all groups that migrated through the caucuses and that’s why Persians and other non-European nations were included. To be clear Im in my 50s so the above could just be the result of institutionalized racism that never got addressed due to not having much in an education in sociology/ anthropology
Please don’t just pull shit out of your ass and present it in public…
No.
I suppose this doesn’t exactly suggest it’s deprecated in Twitter handles. But if the scientists have given up on it, why should normal people keep it?
No.
A couple researchers suggesting a literary review of the specific usage of a word and how it is used in specific contexts within scientific literature is a far cry from the idea that scientists in general are claiming that the word caucasian is a generally racist word.
I don’t know that scientists in general (from chemists to seismologists) know it, but the people who study what scientists ought to call groups of people seem to have reached consensus.
No, read the fucking link you provided, that is not at all what it’s saying.
Hehe…

Most likely a reference to the character Jim from Mark Twain’s book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Although he wasn’t ever called “N****r Jim” in the actual book, the character was referred to by that name throughout the Jim Crow era.
I support people being proud of their identities. You go James!
If you do things that bring you joy, frequently, you’re less likely to become all festery and bitter, angry goblin.
I struggle to see what Cindy’s getting at, it’s ridiculous, of course, but I’m still curious and can’t imagine in my wildest dreams, why, because someone wants socialism and she’s brainwashed to believe capitalism is the only way? I don’t get it.
I think it might have something to do with him only wanting it specifically for men.
All he did was creatively say he likes go karts.
If you do things that bring you joy, frequently, you’re less likely to become all festery and bitter … I don’t get it.
You already explained Cindy’s problem in the first sentence.
Haha, didn’t notice that! You’re right!

And misery loves company. You can’t just go find a positive existence and be one of those weirdos who is like, into things.
I think motor “sports”, competition, noise, speed and fossil fuel is what triggers red flag. Or Ami wrong ?
Competotive mindset = being an ass?
Educate yourself in what? Men shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy themselves? Happy guys are red flags? What’s the problem?
I mean, I guess the entitlement, but also it’s a twitter shitpost lol
I don’t think he’s actually expecting it to be free, it’s probably a joke.
Men shouldn’t be happy
Yeah red flags because James keeps crashing, such a shit driver.
Cindy is a red flag :)
Fuck you cindy.
The HR lady at work was telling me about her husband’s sweet ass jeep that’s all modded and lifted and whatnot. Then she said that she can’t drive it because she can’t drive stick and its the one thing she let’s him have. I feel bad for the poor dude, he must be miserable.
Can’t have men having fun.
Women like go karts too, Todd!
Lets-a GO, Margo!
That’s fine. They just have to pay.
I assumed it’s a troll account, but she appears to be real. And from BC. And such a stereotypical representation of BC, I’m back to questioning whether or not it’s a troll account.

I’m sure there are plenty of very nice women who look similar to Cindy. When you attack her appearance, you’re accidentally attacking them also.
That’s not very nice

👍 as long as you understand that what you’re doing is wrong and why. Not because it’s crass, but because making fun of the way somebody looks because of something wrong they’ve done is mean and unrelated. There may be other people, who look the way she does, who do not deserve the meanness you put out. Don’t hurt people who do not deserve it; it doesn’t bode well to be mean as a response, especially to something as inert as the way somebody looks.
