Jesus Fucking Christ
Apr. 8th, 2013 10:08 pmA thread about fetuses (surprisingly enough, not abortion-related) got fairly wanky on FFA, and a nonny added something to the discussion that actually made my jaw drop.
How can you say, even in jest (and apparently she's not joking), that a medical professional should be more willing to sterilize you because you're black? I'm all for people getting sterilized if that's what they want, but to sincerely believe that an OBGYN should look at you and see, not a patient, but a black person, and that they should be eager to sterilize you because of that, is beyond disturbing. I'm not exactly a SJW, god knows I'm not, but y'all are aware that ethnic minorities and other "undesirables" have a long history of being forcibly sterilized or having their children taken by the states in which they live, right? And to imply that you expect that sort of treatment is... jesus fucking christ.
