Zorque@lemmy.world 17 hours agoIs this supposed to highlight that he’s white, highlight that there’s non-white admins who powertrip more, or be a play on using irrelevant data to muddy the waters of critical thought?
I just want to be sure what subtext you’re using.

I believe the reference was not to the word ‘white’, though to the term ‘white power’, which has been established as a phrase of those who ascribe to the idea of white supremacy.
Seems to me he was calling him a nazi.
Hope this clears things.

I hadn’t put the white and power together in my mind like that. Neat, thanks.
