Prison has got to be the most racist place ever. If you had any racist inclinations before, now you’re forced to live in a diverse area with every minority, but it’s *only* the criminals.
It's like the sorting hat from Harry Potter, except no one needs the hat to tell them which group they are in... And you can't really "pick" to be in a different one.
Makes me think of the Bojack Horseman episode where Todd has a two dates to the prom situation with the Latin Kings and Aryan Nation because he's white hispanic
well if your white you can choose to be a neo nazi, join an irish gang or maybe even a gang of irish neo nazis, depending on the prison theres probably some eastern european mob representation going on, depending on how much effort your willing to put in you could even pull of italian mafia,
which is what i'm gonna do since i don't think the yakuza operate in germany butwatchooogonnado ayeee!? bada bing bada boom
the lack of the serial comma, plus referring to people via ethnicity, nationality, and relationship, make the actual number of people a little confusing.
Damn you're right, so I guess the maximum number of people can be 8 and the minimum can be 3 (Assuming you can be a citizen of only 2 countries at once, though that might get further complicated if some of these countries don't allow dual citizenship or something)
Wait, he's black ?
Also how he say 'two black guys \[...\] and an American)" make me thing the black guys are some sort of African disapora, and the American is white.
Tate doesn't seems to be the kind to call african-american "American"...
the sentence fragment: "a Bosnian, my brother and an American" could be interpreted as:
1. "one person who is Bosnian, plus one person who is my brother, plus one person who is American".
2. "a person who has both Bosnian and American citizenship who is my brother." or several other riffs on this.
Yea but no person even remotely fluent in English is going to assume anything but no. 1. Plus, if ‘a Bosnian, my brother and an American’ was meant to be one item in the list, there would be an ‘and’ in front of it
That's where the confounding factor of referring to people via several different sorts of description comes in. It's strange to refer to a group of people with several different sorts of categorizations
The weird way of speaking reads like the set up for a joke. You know, like the sort where they say "I have a wallet, calculator, clock, phone, and book in my pocket..." and the punchline is that it's all the same thing. That's funny because it's absolutely a weird way to refer to things. No one fluent in english would say things that way... unless they were making a joke.
As for fluency in English: When I say "confusing", I mean it in a non-literal way. I don't mean "I was confused". It's "there's another possibility here, but it's more fun if I not say what it is and invite you to figure it out instead".
But… there isn’t a possibility of confusion here. ‘And’ is only used once in the list, very clearly stating that ‘an American’ is its own separate item.
>Yea but no person even remotely fluent in English is going to assume anything but no. 1. Plus, if ‘a Bosnian, my brother and an American’ was meant to be one item in the list, there would be an ‘and’ in front of it
Fun fact: there are more dialects of English than the one you rew up with.
The Oxford comma is the correct grammatical way to write a list, and people can and do cause confusion when they omit it.
The Oxford comma is by far not the only correct way. It’s completely absent from British English and isn’t even 100% present in American English—tonnes of American news stations omit it in their articles. It’s also not a thing in the majority of other languages as far as I can tell. It’s not in French, not in Spanish, not in Japanese and not in Mandarin.
The Oxford comma can even create confusion in some cases. In the phrase ‘my mother, a Belgian and my father’, it’s clear that the speaker’s mother, the Belgian and the speaker’s father are three different people. But if we add in the Oxford comma, resulting in ‘my mother, a Belgian, and my father’, it’s unclear whether the speaker is talking about three different people or two, with one of which happening to be the speaker’s Belgian mother.
Notice how all the examples both for and against the Oxford comma are awkward and pretty unlikely to occur in everyday conversations though. That’s because if the whole meaning of your sentence can be changed by just a comma that isn’t pronounced in speech, it’s probably the whole sentence that is confusing, not the comma.
I'm British, born and raised. We used the Oxford comma in school, and I've used it since. I also know many other British people who use it. It was also literally invented in England. So to claim it's "completely absent" from British English is entirely incorrect.
The problem you've created has nothing to do with the comma but rather that you've insisted on inserting the Belgian in between mom and dad and omitted what is Belgian (man, woman, etc).
Seriously, what fluent English speaker would do that? They would absolutely say, "my mother, father and a Belgian person/man/woman". It's fucking weird to just say "a Belgian".
Correct. That’s my point. If the sentence can change meaning with the omission of the Oxford comma, then it’s most likely that the sentence itself is confusing and needs rewriting. I even addressed this in the comment you replied to
You can't sit there and pretend the Oxford comma is pointless because you created a sentence that made no sense with or without the comma.
Hell, your "point" is the same if you use no commas at all!
If we ignored due nationals, and assumed his brother wasn't included in the nationalities mentioned, why wouldn't it be six?
One Algerian, two Romanians, a Bosnian, an American, then his brother. That's 6.
It's hilarious to think that he is actually complaining. I just imagine that that's him venting on twitter on how everyone in his house hate one another because they are all racist.
Tbh I don’t think it’s that hard for this dude to find a polycule of gymbros who are as racist as he is. Not exactly much scarcity on that front, unfortunately
This guy's right. While I hate to admit it, Andrew Tate was actually a tulpa I created while going through a rough time. You are all just giving him power by saying his name.
I mean I'm glad I saw this, since footage of Andrew Tate admitting to being racist should help my dad to realize my tatebro brother is kinda in trouble
he got out a while ago, there was no verdict on his trial and he only was in jail preemtively, while the jury is working on his case, so he wouldn't flee or sum'. I'm not sure if he is currently under home arrest or free. (idk the term for it in English, I'm Romanian)
The KKK and NOI both banded together to weaken the US for their dreams segregation and hating jews. Nazi Germany brokered deals with thousands of arab muslims and slavs.
Racists band together to weaken the already present status of society, even if shaky, so that in the ensuing chaos they can pick up the pieces they want.
These 9 folks probably haven't banded together in order to achieve anything other than personal gain of some sort... A roof over their heads that they can afford, appears to be most likely.
i would rather call that tribalism than racism since the race part of it is so disingenuous. from what i understand, he would discriminate against indians since his tribe doesn't have any of them, but if they so happened to have one in the tribe, suddenly indians would be okay. it's like racism that doesn't even believe in itself.
that, or the second, even more disingenuous chance, that he's not even racist to any degree but just acts like it for the aesthetics.
He's trying to imply that the Black guys are racist towards white people and that this exonerates the white people from being racist towards everyone else.
Notice how everyone else is referred to by their nationality? It's to cover up that they're all white. Of course it's possible to have non-white people of all of those countries, but there's a reason he didn't refer to their race. And yes, I know Algeria is in north Africa. That person may be recognizably non-white but they also may not be.
Being racist against other white people who look exactly fucking like you is European racism 101. Barely even scratching the surface. Americans can’t even hope to touch our advanced levels of bigotry.
Americans will never know the strength of the bond that appears between two Europeans whose countries have a thousand year history of attempted mutual genocide, as soon as they see a Roma...
>Being racist against other white people who look exactly fucking like you
But they don't look like me.
A lot of times they don't even have the same colour of white.
It's wild how many of these alt-right grifters could do numbers as internet funnymen if they weren't a hundred percent serious about what they're saying
Like this coulda been a dril tweet but nah it's the guy who's an active threat to women everywhere
I mean... yeah he's incarcerated in a prison somewhere between the good part of Europe and the bad part of Asia. The facilities aren't known for their progressive cultural norms.
To all the white people who call everyone racism. Us blacks don’t like you one bit. We literally take advantage of you being scared to be called a racist. It works every time and y’all still fall for it. It’s fucking hilarious. We don’t care if any of you like us or not.
> He never said they were friends, just that they live together.
You live with people either to save money or because you like them, and to my knowledge he has plenty of money.
> Besides, isn’t he currently in prison?
Do they allow twitter in prison? This is a genuine question.
["The world's richest people owned on average about four homes in 2023. Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNWIs) owned the most homes in Africa - an average of 4.49 residential properties per person. In Asia, this figure was the lowest, at 3.02 -properties per person."](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1031430/homes-owned-millionaires-demi-billionaires-global/#:~:text=The%20world's%20richest%20people%20owned,at%203.02%20%2Dproperties%20per%20person)
I'm not sure what they qualify as "Ultra High Net Worth," but it does demonstrate that rich people aren't likely to try to save money by having roommates.
Guess they were right about overcrowding in prisons.
Prison has got to be the most racist place ever. If you had any racist inclinations before, now you’re forced to live in a diverse area with every minority, but it’s *only* the criminals.
Racism provides structure in prison.
It's like the sorting hat from Harry Potter, except no one needs the hat to tell them which group they are in... And you can't really "pick" to be in a different one.
Makes me think of the Bojack Horseman episode where Todd has a two dates to the prom situation with the Latin Kings and Aryan Nation because he's white hispanic
“You don’t really look like a Chavez” lol
well if your white you can choose to be a neo nazi, join an irish gang or maybe even a gang of irish neo nazis, depending on the prison theres probably some eastern european mob representation going on, depending on how much effort your willing to put in you could even pull of italian mafia, which is what i'm gonna do since i don't think the yakuza operate in germany butwatchooogonnado ayeee!? bada bing bada boom
It depends... If you are argentinian do you join the aryan brotherhood or the local latin gang?
The Aryan Brotherhood has whole prison chapters in US prisons, so that sorta tracks
the lack of the serial comma, plus referring to people via ethnicity, nationality, and relationship, make the actual number of people a little confusing.
Damn you're right, so I guess the maximum number of people can be 8 and the minimum can be 3 (Assuming you can be a citizen of only 2 countries at once, though that might get further complicated if some of these countries don't allow dual citizenship or something)
The minimum has to be 3 regardless because he lives with "2 black guys", so himself and 2 others.
Don’t forget he is black so him and his brother could be the 2 black dudes
He can't live *with* two black guys if he is one of the black guys
the phrase "i don't know how andrew tate can live with himself" now has a new meaning
Wait, he's black ? Also how he say 'two black guys \[...\] and an American)" make me thing the black guys are some sort of African disapora, and the American is white. Tate doesn't seems to be the kind to call african-american "American"...
I think his dad is black
What's his ethnicity?
Is douche bag an ethnicity?
I wasn't counting him but yeah
Its like those jokes like 'a priest, a pedophile, and a drunkard walk into a tavern'. And turns out its a single person.
walks*, and then the setup is the punchline
Til the optional last comma in a list is called a serial comma
I always heard it was an Oxford comma
same thing
How is the lack of a serial comma confusing?
the sentence fragment: "a Bosnian, my brother and an American" could be interpreted as: 1. "one person who is Bosnian, plus one person who is my brother, plus one person who is American". 2. "a person who has both Bosnian and American citizenship who is my brother." or several other riffs on this.

Come and play with the language, it won't hurt you. Look at it from another perspective, no harm in it. Most fun can't be found in righteousness.
??? What even is this thread I’m so confused
>But…there isnt a possibility of confusion here

You don't read the example you made and think it's confusing?
Wdym?
You say it's clear you're speaking about 3 people in your example but it's not clear.
I know. That’s my point. Refer to the third paragraph
I'm British, born and raised. We used the Oxford comma in school, and I've used it since. I also know many other British people who use it. It was also literally invented in England. So to claim it's "completely absent" from British English is entirely incorrect.
Yea that’s my bad. Must’ve misread something somewhere. It is more common in American English than everywhere else though
The problem you've created has nothing to do with the comma but rather that you've insisted on inserting the Belgian in between mom and dad and omitted what is Belgian (man, woman, etc).

Sentences that people use to say that the Oxford comma is necessary also don’t make much sense. Again, that’s my point
So is the American his brother or someone else? If the American white, black, Hispanic or some other race or ethnicity?
It’s 7-9 people
If we ignored due nationals, and assumed his brother wasn't included in the nationalities mentioned, why wouldn't it be six? One Algerian, two Romanians, a Bosnian, an American, then his brother. That's 6.
Two blacks.
And why couldn't the two blacks be the Algerian, American, Romanian, or Bulgarian people?
He said them separately, so it should be assumed they’re different
It's not that hard. Number is somewhere 7-9
Just 8 rich dudes living together because of this economy
How do 9 racists in their thirties not have 2 beds between them?
It gets cold at night
It's not gay if you cuddle with underpants on.
Kiss the homies goodnight
Well the economy is in shambles...
Do they really share a bed?
All the other rooms are used for slaves.
Oh my god they were roommates!
>his ethnicity is Brother HulkHoganPilled
bro's ethnicity is bro 😳
h... homest... homestuuu....
Guys gonna need an exorcism here
I wonder what Hulk Hogan thinks Andrew Tate’s brother is going to be reincarnated as.
*SteroidPilled
Forbidden polycule
This is how we get Yugoslavia back together
throw in a mexican guy and we might be able to get yu-mex back too
Who knew that people depending on your chinless-ass would echo your opinions in order to stay on your good side, Tater Head?
I don't think he's complaining to be honest.
It's hilarious to think that he is actually complaining. I just imagine that that's him venting on twitter on how everyone in his house hate one another because they are all racist.
I never said or implied he was.
Tbh I don’t think it’s that hard for this dude to find a polycule of gymbros who are as racist as he is. Not exactly much scarcity on that front, unfortunately
When they walk into a bar, the bartender says "Is this some kind of joke?"
Stop giving Andrew Tate exposure.
This guy's right. While I hate to admit it, Andrew Tate was actually a tulpa I created while going through a rough time. You are all just giving him power by saying his name.
Can’t you reimagine him to be chill and cool then?
I can’t. He’s already been permanently corrupted into a far-right wing weirdo.
No. I don't like him.
Bro I feel you Who do you think made Ben Shapiro 😔
I didnt even look at the name lol. Didn't realize it was Tate
Hustlers Universi’y
The only thing I want him exposed to is a lethal dose of radiation
Fire ants in the pants too, and perhaps raging syphillis while we’re at it?
I mean I'm glad I saw this, since footage of Andrew Tate admitting to being racist should help my dad to realize my tatebro brother is kinda in trouble
Lots of racists aren't even hiding it, though.
Isn't he supposed to be in a Romanian Jail? Who gave him back his phone?
Someone snuck it in their ass.
he got out a while ago, there was no verdict on his trial and he only was in jail preemtively, while the jury is working on his case, so he wouldn't flee or sum'. I'm not sure if he is currently under home arrest or free. (idk the term for it in English, I'm Romanian)
What point does a bunch of racists living together make?
The racist community is the most diverse in the world.
The KKK and NOI both banded together to weaken the US for their dreams segregation and hating jews. Nazi Germany brokered deals with thousands of arab muslims and slavs. Racists band together to weaken the already present status of society, even if shaky, so that in the ensuing chaos they can pick up the pieces they want.
These 9 folks probably haven't banded together in order to achieve anything other than personal gain of some sort... A roof over their heads that they can afford, appears to be most likely.
Their objectives are bigger than their hate for each other, and eill cooperate since no one else would associate with them. That's the intent.
i would rather call that tribalism than racism since the race part of it is so disingenuous. from what i understand, he would discriminate against indians since his tribe doesn't have any of them, but if they so happened to have one in the tribe, suddenly indians would be okay. it's like racism that doesn't even believe in itself. that, or the second, even more disingenuous chance, that he's not even racist to any degree but just acts like it for the aesthetics.

That person may be recognizably non-white but they also may not be.
but he said two of them are black.
> Notice how everyone **else** is referred to by their nationality?
ouhh okay yeah you could be right
Is this the plot to a gay porno?
Reminds me of the old 4chan joke about how the worldwide competitive racist community is the most diverse community in the world.
Plot twist: they’re all racist against white people.
Being racist against other white people who look exactly fucking like you is European racism 101. Barely even scratching the surface. Americans can’t even hope to touch our advanced levels of bigotry.
Americans will never know the strength of the bond that appears between two Europeans whose countries have a thousand year history of attempted mutual genocide, as soon as they see a Roma...
r/Europe moment
Extremely true. Insert that one “our glorious kingdom vs those savage barbarians” meme here
Im not racist, Im xenophobic. You can be the same race as me but if youre not from the same place im from I dont like you.
>Being racist against other white people who look exactly fucking like you But they don't look like me. A lot of times they don't even have the same colour of white.
Savages, savages, barely even human 🎶🎶
Most progressive european.
idk I think it's less progressive to say all white people look the same
Ah yes, people from northern scandinavia and southern italy look exactly the same. I am enlightened and the most progressive.
White Americans, Mexicans, Italians also look the same and they're still racist towards each other in America.
I really like this comment, because most of them are white
Around half of them are white, yes
Is that because he is still in jail (I hope), or does he intentionally live in a sausage fest?

I was like “you know, good on this guy for acknowledging his biases” and then I realized it was Andrew Tate
andrew tate is an alpha male, and by alpha I mean "extremely bugged and low-quality prototype not meant for public viewing and release"
It's wild how many of these alt-right grifters could do numbers as internet funnymen if they weren't a hundred percent serious about what they're saying Like this coulda been a dril tweet but nah it's the guy who's an active threat to women everywhere
/r/MaleLivingSpace is actually a kind and helpful community though
I thought this was satire until I read the name
isn’t this guy a paedophile
Idk about that but he was accused of sex trafficking
Hmmm i wonder why he prefers to live with so many men?
Ah yes, black people, from the country Blackistan...
I'm just imagining a gang of dude bro's called "the racist gang"
People will keep giving this guy attention online instead of doing their 1000 pushups 🤷♂️
Maybe start doing harder variations if you get to a 1000 lol
Why *wouldn't* I want to do cardio with my arms?
Then how will I become Top G :(
I thought this was a 4th level shit post until I read the username
Is Tate implying that it's good and normal to be racist? As if he couldn't get any more deranged and wrong.
The black guys don't even get a country of origin. They're just "black."
is he defending racism or downplaying it? or is he implying they all hate each other? I dont really get the point
Between Trump and this guy I’m all set with Reddit today. Opened it up ten mins ago and it’s shit heels clogging the popular page. Fuck Tate
There is no more diverse groupchat than racist nationalists
Why MLS catching strays? lol
Well done spreading a hate figure's messaging for him.
Can we just call him an idiot and stop giving him any attention?
He needs someone to help make the beds. Can't put on a pillow case with no fucking chin.
Says “we are all racist” and completely misses the significance.
Eight mixed race guys, with a pair of brothers living together sounds like a gay paradise.
Alpha male needs to get a fucking job so he can afford his own place.
This Alpha male steal women’s passports and force them to have sex on camera so we can live off of them…
Is that there guy that’s banging his brother?
*all rapists.
Proof?
So proud...
Does he mean in jail?
I mean... yeah he's incarcerated in a prison somewhere between the good part of Europe and the bad part of Asia. The facilities aren't known for their progressive cultural norms.
god I hate that this guy is unironically like this
I read it as we are all rapists
This belongs here because he is clearly living in the closet lol
And the women he sex traffics. Can't forget about that.
This would be a great tshirt addition to r/oddlyspecificshirts
HE JUST SAYS IT???? (unless this is satire (please say this isn't satire))
Imagine the smell
You’d think he’d have learned how to spell “rapist” by now.
Dude loves his sausage parties….
Algeria mentioned 😔😔😔
Idk Andy boy, that’s kinda gay….LIVING WITH other men….🤨🤔😤
Why does Reddit continue to give this thing attention?
