Not even close. Unless you’re an undergrad or not even in academic philosophy.

Why do you find blatant racism "funny and relatable"?

When I read the original comment it said something along the lines of, “philosophy gave me a tool box of why one white guy was more logically consistent than another” it was funny because I’m in a modern philosophy class and it resonated bc I’m literally just reading dead white guys arguments about why they think they are right. Idk how that makes me racist… it wasn’t that deep hunny. I understand the philosophy is much greater than dead white guys, and the practice in itself serves a much larger purpose, but I found the comment funny. It literally got a chuckle out of me. Chill bro.
