You Have to Earn Your Racism

from Russian Influencers & Dying At Work | The Tim Dillon Show #408 · #408

4 min

Tim argues kids getting canceled for racism at a young age is legitimately bad because racism/bigotry should be 'earned' through life experience as an adult, using his own hatred of the Irish as an example.

In this bit7 moments
  • Tim argues you're supposed to be racist as an adult after meeting people and learning patterns, not as a child.
  • Racist kids should be canceled, but racist adults should be left alone because they've earned their beliefs through experience.
  • Tim explains his own racism against Irish people, saying he loathes them after visiting Ireland and finding the culture backwards.
  • Hating after experiencing life is normal and unavoidable, but hating instinctually as a child is actually bad.
  • You have to earn your racism, homophobia, and misogyny through real-world experience, not inherit them from parroting others.
  • Example: your best friend comes out as gay, you don't hate them, but seeing excessive pride parades gives you earned grounds to criticize.
  • Tim pivots to claiming China orchestrated and leaked Brooke Monk tweets to Tana Mongeau, or possibly Russia did it.
