As the only dark-haired, dark-eyed Latina, it's no wonder I spent years distrustful of blondes.
If the roles were reversed, even you would see how terrible such a statement is.

It seems you've isolated the above quote out of context with the rest of the story. Cyn was young and felt this way for years because blonde-haired and blue-eyed girls were some of her first experiences with people that bullied her. Imagine you were young and your first experience with dogs was a terrible bite that caused you to bleed. You may end up with an irrational fear of dogs.
Trauma can color your experience in life, and it can program you to either rationally or irrationally trust or distrust others. But then, later, we grow up more and realize that everyone is just an individual, and not all peoples are subject to groupthink and group behavior.
Ask yourself this, @felixxx; What kind of message does your downvote say to a woman who just poured her heart out into a post and shared some of her childhood trials and triumphs with perfect strangers on the internet? Come on; I know you're better than that. Hell, I bet if you meditate deeply on the content of the post that even someone like yourself (who is quick to judge) can find it in your heart to turn that downvote right side up back where it belongs.
Thank god for sane, intelligent, competent, level-headed, understanding, appreciative, respectful commenters here on Hive like @barge and yourself, @thoughts-in-time . Much love and appreciation to both of you.
Twas my pleasure, I enjoyed the post, and I'd also like to think that @felixxx just made an honest mistake. Sometimes language barriers can get people to misinterpret things and jump to conclusions.
Possible, and I'd love for that to be the case, but from his previous comments on posts of mine, I'd say such a diagnosis is doubtful:
@felixxx, maybe you could help me and my friend Ryze here figure something out. I think that perhaps you downvoted Cyn's post because of a simple misunderstanding. Perhaps, something got lost in translation from English to die Deutsche Sprache. Whereas Ryze, on the other hand, he's showing me a screenshot that seems to indicate that you only half-ass read what you vote. Anyways, I'd be curious to know what the true-true is, as it may be the case that Ryze and I have a gentleman's wager (0.001) about who is correct.

Can you help me out instead? Please stop @ ing me.
1.. I stumbled on the OP because I was following ryze.
After he wrote his stupid post and after reblogging above disaster, I unfollowed him. I do not look for posts to flag, but sometimes they get shoved in my face.
Op can write whatever they feel like, and I won't even see it.
2.. What context? I read until the passage I quoted above and then stopped there. There is no context. It does not say the girls bullied her. It just says because she was the only latina, she became distrustful of blode girls.
Let me guess: the rest of the post is about how being fat and lesbian also made her feel like she was being bullied. Probably by white people, mostly.
3.. I am German. My English is not perfect, but I can read it pretty well. Nothing got lost in translation here.
However, you being so overly friendly to me is a form of culture I will never understand. The less you agree with me, the more you talk to me like I was an infant? What is that supposed to do, other than aggravate me?
As for ryze: He copied the most helpful comment himself. Go to his blog, check my comment, check his post, realize I am right. I never read his post, still know the content.
Did you learn this behaviour on reddit? It does not work here. Do not bring their champion victims over here.
Let me get this straight. You call Cyn a "champion victim" because of a story that you admit you did not read, and then you downvoted her post because you want her to recognize who the real champion victim is? Well, I'll be damned. I guess I lost the bet. Thanks for clearing that up. As the reigning "champion victim," perhaps you should consider going back to Reddit, Sonnenschein.
P.S. If you could've pulled your head out of your cunt long enough to realize that she wasn't doing the "victim thing" like you were, that she was sharing her life experience, then perhaps you would have felt less threatened by her post. Anywho, see you at the next Victim Olympics, champ. Oh, and break a leg!
I guess I see an expression of pain/a painful experience rather than hostility or loathing, which I would associate more with hate.
I think that, within the context of what has been expressed, a role-reversal would not alter my perception.
thank you for replying to this person and getting my post. Thank you for saying this. It's so kind and I genuinely appreciate it, deeply. ❤️❤️❤️
seems fair
Seems racist, actually.
It seems like a "broad-brush" fallacy.
No "more" and no "less" "evil" than any other logical fallacy.
The 5 white blonde girls were racist to her because she was brown and had brown hair.
Glad to see you changed your mind and saw the white girls were being racist.
Her entire post needs to be quoted for context. She is saying she was bullied by the 5 blonde white girls in the class because she was a brown skin girl with brown hair. The author of the post is describing how her classmates were racist towards her and hateful.
How you can accuse the author of the post of being hateful isnt logical.
Care to explain?
You're the only one to say this.
Me being the only to say it, does not mean anything.
I changed my mind: I was the skinniest in my class and now I distrust all fat people, naturally. That's why I keep the downvote as it is.
If you were bullied for being skinny that was people causing trauma to you for being skinny. If those people generally were fat causing you this trauma then it is logical to have issues with fat people.
It could have been x y or z group causing you trauma and you would be logical in having issues with said group. That's just the way our brains work.
