It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Is Hasan white? I thought the name alone would preclude him from whiteness.
Though we all agree italians arent.
He's Turkish and Muslim, it's up to viewer interpretation
It really is kinda arbitrary. If his name wasn't "Hasan" it probably wouldn't even be a discussion.
Whiteness is made up but I have heard him refer to himself as white before.
yes he is white there are white muslims and most turks are white. saying hes not white is really weird behavior. if being muslim makes someone not white then there could be no white muslims and there definitely are because the have completely different experiences then nonwhite muslims.
Yeah, I know there are white Muslims. I've seen lots of blue-eyed blond-haired Muslim Bosnians. I'm just wondering if there's a limit to what Americans would consider white.
Like I know a Palestinian guy with fair hair and blue eyes, but I've never asked him if he considers himself white.
according to hasan who would know the most about his lived experience, he is white, he has white privilege, and is treated in his day to day life as a white man. only internet racist think hes not white and they are a loud minority and not the average american. white people are actually pretty bad at spotting nonwhite or "spicy white"people imo. like lots of people are white passing only to white people, have you ever seen old photos of white passing black people? its an interesting question for sure. edit spelling fixed
Chipotle mayo?
On a good day he's white with a side of "so where are you really from" but not white enough for the skull measurers
