I seriously wanna do a study on privilege and risk-taking behaviour because I have a theory that people with more privilege are less likely to think about consequences than are oppressed people, who are constantly bombarded by consequences, deserved or not.
Actually reblogging for that deep comment right there^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^ same.
^^ makes you think..
this is absolutely true. thrill-seeking behavior that can actually kill you is proof-positive that your life is so safe that you actually go looking for deadly situations. why do you think mostly white people do shit like free climbing, base jumping, camping in remote areas without fucking telling anyone where they are going, climbing fucking Everest, whatever the hell its called when you jump out of a helicopter and ski down some crazy ass mountain, starting fist fights with cops… EDIT: THIS QUOTE
Is this why literally all shows and movies about white people are about white people ruining their own lives
^^^ FUCKING BASICALLY
its like 7 fucking feet guys calm down
Lord have mercy.
Non-white Tumblrinas try so hard to be oppressed.
Oh sure, when a black dude climbs Mt. Kilimanjaro it’s “black excellence,” but when a white person visits a tourist attraction and dangles 7 ft off the ground “lol, whitey wanna die so bad”
Are these people seriously trying to make a racial debate on andrenaline rush activities? Just when you think you’ve seen it all..
