Immigrants are often weirdly anti-immigration. Seeing other immigrants reminds them of their own outsider status, so they get really into notions of Good Immigrant vs Bad Immigrant.
The fuck-you-got-mine mindset.
Useful idiots
"One of the good ones" 🤢
Not an immigrant, but a Jew who attended a primarily Christian private school for a few years. Others of your ilk aren't just a reminder of your own outside status—all the assholes around you take care of that on your behalf. When your classmates are told that playing "smear the queer" is not okay, but "get the Jew" is "fine," finding someone like you presents an opportunity.
You could use the opportunity to possibly defend yourselves through unification, but we all know that's not what you're going to do. No, you're going to do what was done to me. You're going to let fear and anger guide you, because how could two of you possibly fight back; you don't even know each other. You're going to join the in-crowd by becoming an aggressor to the new outsider. And as long as they're there to take the heat, you get to chill with people who will throw you in the fire as soon as they're done with the other outsiders.
I'm sorry you had to go through that. I am glad you were able to survive that and land in a stable career in fartography. Truly inspiring 🥲
As an aside, “kill the guy with the ball” is apparently ok. It turns out I was woke even when a kid - “smear the queer” felt wrong even when I didn’t know what that meant. But killing is fine?
What does kill the guy with the ball mean?
It's a multiplayer death match game mode where one player has the ball or skull or whatever and all the other players try to kill that player. Whoever does gets the ball and repeat till game is over, whoever had the ball longest wins. Kids also used to play a variation during recess where one kid would have the ball and the others would try to tackle them to steal the ball. Same rules, whoever had the ball longest wins. It would get pretty violent at times. But it was often called things like "smear the queer" or other euphemisms for hate crimes because the Midwest is bigoted as fuck.
The game "smear the queer" was not confined to the Midwest.
Well said!
Ahh okey. Thanks for the info!
