I’ve been there this summer. There’s a sign asking you to tell your nationality while passing the person. It’s just for tourist demographics and completely voluntary.
That ruins the outrage!
Poser racists think all Asian people are Chinese, all Hispanic people are Mexican, and all Black people are African. Professional racists can identify your home region by the minute traits that they loath about you.
“The slight trill in their accent and the width of the bridge of their nose tells me that they are from the Cassidian Provence of Blahgistan just north of the Arno Mountain range… bloody Cassidians taking our jobs!”
I learn more about other cultures so I can be racist more accurately
I mean, being racist is such a huge part of your life. Why wouldn’t you want to do it well? Anything worth doing is worth doing right.
Seriously, racists are so lazy nowadays. Judging people based solely on skin color? Back in the day, they treated that shit like science.
Surely that info is freely available on the passport they are using to go through the airport.
Probably, but they figured out they could save time by just hiring Björn here.
All they need to do it check all of the passports to make sure his selections are accurate!
This job does not take your casual racist; no this takes a competitive racist to identify them.
Exactly what I hoped it was
the fuck is with these comments? yall never leave the united states? this isn’t about race. you can absolutely make a ton of informed observations based on so many social cues, styles, speech, and so on. and as others pointed out, the guests tell you too lol.
Honestly it’s fucking weird you guys think this is racist. makes me wonder if you even understand what racism is
Exactly this… I’ve been called out before for saying that someone (who was french) “looked french”, with the implication that it was racist of me to imply that people from different countries typically have subtly different features.
Of course, you can’t always tell where someone is from based on how they look, act, or speak, but pretending that there aren’t certain phenotypes that are more common some places than others is just ignoring what we can observe. It’s not always easy to pinpoint exactly what it is, but people generally have an idea of what a “typical southern/western/eastern/northern european”, looks like (or any other area of the world for that matter), and often that intuition will be correct. This is not racism, it’s simply the fact that after seeing a bunch of people from some country or region, you build a pattern for what phenotypes are typical in that region. Racism is when you decide to assign more worth to some phenotype or ethnicity than another, which is a whole different thing.
Basically, recognising that people are in fact different is not racism. Determining someones worth or quality of character based on differences in phenotype is.
Icelanders can definitely tell a fellow Icelander from a foreigner just by looking.
I married one, so it always amuses me to see Icelandic shop staff look at us both and struggle for a second to work out which language to use.
What if you are VERY mixed race? Is that an automatic “American”?
Believe it or not, straight to the detention camp.
That’s what he picks if you tell him you’re Irish.
hol up, whats wrong with his face? is it melting? is his eyebrow below the top of his ear?? lol
I’ve self diagnosed with face blindness, so I’m not certainly not the greatest expert on this subject, but I think that might be an eyelid combined with an odd camera angle.
Imagine a NK General in uniform walks by and he clicks Japan lol
I wasn’t aware nationality and race were indistinguishable. Yet.
I assume this is to select the country the passport is from or something?
Nm i’m in the wrong place 🙂
