As a Nigerian-immigrant currently working and schooling in North America, I have come to one conclusion: Social Justice, wokeness and progressivism can ONLY exist in a developed, liberal and first-world nation/region where there are very few existential threats and where the purposeless masses in urban areas have to create some form of ideology to fill the void in their lives. Imagine being offended by a field of cotton! A cash crop grown on almost every country on earth! That is why it makes no sense and destroys that society. That is also why rural westerners, non-western countries and immigrants mostly tend to hate social justice and wokeness more than the native citizens.

@connsaunders9600 I am sure it does but given how little I know of it or how it hardly seems to be known to most folks, I think it is just another pointless slur like cracker or that weird "racial stereotype" Americans have about fried chicken (seriously, how bored does a society have to be to turn food into a racial stereotype?) If you actually went to any African and called them boo boo we would likely assume you were calling us breasts or booing us.

@connsaunders9600 Isn't boo boo the name of that Yogi's friend?

@haytonism Was that actually in the Don Quixote story or was this quote made after it? Really good quote, friend.

@connsaunders9600 Yeah, i figured as much. Thanks for explaining. But if i'm being honest, it is really a stupid sounding slur that would only make sense in the UK like the word Oyinbo which we Nigerians use as a mocking term for foreigners and white people. Still, I and most Africans are largely indifferent to this kind of thing. Real life is hard enough that wasting time being triggered by words and slurs is not a luxury many of us, even in the western world have. Lord knows I have my tuition bills to pay and college exams to write and part-time jo to do to be concerned about what insults randos hurl at me for my skin color.

@connsaunders9600 Okay, good point. But still, that's not really a shocking revelation, friend. Even among racially similar people, insults exist. It's nothing anyone should put any serious thought into, honestly.
