White guy avi

πŸ™„

Was waiting in line to contest a ticket for dismal at one of the tiny micro-cities inside Houston. Kid you not, it was just a bunch of white folks walking out no-contest and another line of AAs getting filed up to actually try their cases.

I'm sure this was a coincidence. Also, the sheriff looking interchangeable with the Sheriff Rosco from Dukes of Hazzard, a pure coincidence.

Yeah this looks like a written appeal so not sure what race has to do with it. Also this is a parking fine, not a moving violation, which it sounds like you're describing

[–] pebbles@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If the appeal has a name on it then there could still be bias. Somewhat related: I heard job applications still got biased reviews with names redacted because the contents were culturally specific enough.

Lmao there was a small trend of people applying with a more white-sounding name again and not getting rejected that time.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

That might be true. But it's important to note that we want the world to be more kind to everyone, and not universally unforgiving.

Them Duke boys are at eet again! Subjugating minorities with a thin veil of fair ground.

another line of AAs

All Albinos?

My Daisy Duke shorts always get me a pass, even when I don’t get around to trim around the hedges.

Is this even English cause I didn't understand a single word.

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Its perfectly clear, i can Rephrase it in midwest english:

I was at the courthouse in my neighborhood to try to get a ticket dismissed. You wouldn't believe it, but there were a bunch of white people getting dismissed easily while African Americans all had court dates set to have trials.
Surely this was a coincidence, especially with a town sherreif who looks like a good ol boy with a gun. Certainly coincidence.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No contest isn't a dismissal. It's just means that you are not pleading guilty, but are accepting the courts ruling.

Context implied to me that a dismissal was meant by no contest, despite it being the literal phrase we hse when accepting the court's opinion with no contest.

Maybe I'm wrong, Idk, text is tricky.

Keep trying. You'll figure it out
