Text should read "every third American couple". I dont think this applies anywhere else and has anything to do with sexuality...
- Only Americans can be racist?
- Hey now, in Poland it’s like every other couple
  
  Youre right, it probably applies in other regions, but definitely not everywhere
- Do Czech people read Salon?
  
  Only non-hetero people
- As a hetero person I can say it 100% applies in Texas
Eh, I'm all for equality. Women can be racist too!
- Yeah, that's probably why Trump keeps winning the white woman vote in spite of everything he's ever said or done to or about women..
  
  #Feminism #LadyBigotry
- That's a different 1/3
It's even worse when it's a mixed race couple!
(Source: I'm in a mixed race relationship)
- So... are you the most racist man alive?
  
  You didn't get the Salon article?
ELI5
- I think the gag is that this person reading Salon, a progressive media outlet, is a person claiming or projecting progressive values yet is dating a bigot. Progressive dating regressive.
  
  Aaaaah thank you very much. That helped
- Lemmy just bring out the shit chart...
  
  What do pieces of shit have to do wi-Ohhh
- Among Gen Z and Millennial Americans (especially the educated straight white middle class) there's been a divergence in political affiliations between men and women. But people still couple up, so hetero couples are seeing a lot more combinations of politically engaged progressive women who are in relationships with politically apathetic men (who also tend to be somewhat sexist and racist).
  
  This comic points out that juxtaposition.
Casting aspersions much? The vast majority of couples I know are hetero, and not one person is like either of these caricatures. Let's not pretend sexual preference has anything to do with these stereotypes. It's more likely to be the culture or social system you are familiar with.
- This means YOU are the third couple of course /j
  
  You got it!
- It’s a joke
  
  Seriously. Some people need to relax lmao
- Are you claiming to know a representative set of Americans, and 1/3 of that representative set is not racist?
  
  I think you're suffering from selection bias..
- Yes.
  
  me when the
  when the shitpost doesnt exactly what i know
When her friends confront her: ”But he’s never racist to me or my family”
- Honestly I've met such a person.
I know that guys.
- It's me guy
Gay hate crime perpetrated
- Ghayte
Wat
- Some shit or something idk
What about bi(F)/bi(M) couples?
- That's statistically more difficult to determine because they might have other preferences towards magazines and t-shirts.
