Discussion She almost ruined a proposal.

This was at Crescent Bay Point Park, which allows people to book it special occasions.

I live in this area and tbh public proposals and engagement photoshoots are kind of a plague. They happen everywhere, all the time, people are way too casual about littering (I've picked up too goddamned many of those fake rose petals), and it often is legit hard to go for a walk in the park without someone complaining that you're ruining the shot. Technically you need a permit for this very reason.

So I didn't think she shoulda done it, but I understood UNTIL the racism. Ergo, fuck her.

Some go for a walk, some go for a proposal, learn to live in society; they're not doing wrong 🙄

They're not just proposals. They're photoshoots, and some of them are on par with commercial photoshoots as far as props, scale, personnel, and the amount of time they take, except they're usually not being staged by professionals so the logistics aren't managed well.

By law you need a permit, and if everyone who did this got one like they're supposed to, there wouldn't be an issue.

I live here too. And it’s literally Mexicans/Mexican-culture doing these over and over every time. It’s not racism to point out that observation.

How do you know it’s Mexican? Did you ask them? Could they not be Americans with Mexican heritage? That’s what makes it entirely racist.

Americans with mexican heritage doesn’t mean it’s not Mexican culture.

Right but you said Mexican. I said that’s racist. I’m as American as they come but I’m brown and I love Mariachi music. So if I do it, what does that mean? You don’t know shit about me, you’re just guessing because you perceive something because of how I look (and I’m also from not very far away from this park). You get it now?

I said mexican culture in my original post. I would be correctly perceiving if you’re doing Mariachi music that you’re doing Mexican culture.

What I’m saying is not controversial or racist and you’re trying to put words in my mouth and take the worst possible interpretation in order to force it into a racist narrative

It sorta' is racist to point it out if you imply that this is necessarily a negative thing. You could say the music is too loud or something else annoying but you imply that it's negative because it's Mexican.
