hi YouTube it's Akilah, obviously and today I want to talk about an issue
that has been neglected on YouTube and in pop culture
specifically when we talk about people like Patty Arquette and her Oscar speech
and Nellie Andreeva at deadline who thinks diversity
is over taking hollywood and there's no roles for white people anywhere
so today we're going to talk about intersectionality and feminism
and what better way to tackle an issue this big than to talk about pizza
It's a little cheesy. Say you're born a cheese pizza
but the world is made for burgers right you can go anywhere and get a burger
burgers are the go-to fast food pretty much
everything in the world is made to serve burgers
so you're trying to say hey pizza's just as good as burgers
it's just as satisfying as burgers pizza deserve the same rights as burgers
and that's all fine and good. Then there's pizzas like me
deluxe pizzas who happen to have different toppings and features than
cheese pizzas
and have their own problems to face because they're pizzas
and have different toppings -- and we're like "what about us?"
cheese pizzas are by far the most celebrated pizzas in society right? Like
If you go
anywhere on the menu there's gonna be a cheese pizza in
any facet of society whether that's art, media,
education, finance, history-- cheese pizzas are the only pizzas
that are ever mentioned you know cheese pizza is so celebrated that
there are snacks that celebrate that flavor, like combos
and Pringles and even bagel bites. cheese pizza
is highly visible meanwhile this is not the case for deluxe
pizzas alright our features are often seen by the untrained eye is extra weight
and too much of a problem and we're left to crumble because the crust does not
support us
it is much more difficult to be a deluxe pizza
in a burger world
So when deluxe pizzas found out that cheese pizzas wanted to join forces
and fight for the right to
all pizzas they were pumped until they found out that
all the discussion about pizzas would be about cheese pizzas exclusively
in fact cheese pizzas were like k deluxe pizza
we're gonna get to your rights, but only after we've achieved ours first
and so now there are tons of videos and articles
that talk about how cheese pizza is tired of being told by burgers to shave their
crust
and how cheese pizza's getting called all these slurs because of what they choose to
put in their pie hole
deluxe pizzas would love the privilege to care about being so menial
historically when a deluxe pizza rises through the pop culture ranks
and use their platform to promote pizza rights, cheese pizzas will shame them
and then turn around and say look at this cheese pizza she's got the right
idea
even when she says the exact same thing that the deluxe pizzahas been saying
all along. deluxe pizzas unique features
are often celebrated when they occur unnaturally
on cheese pizzas in fact when they occur naturally
on deluxe pizza they're often shamed: Look how big your sausages are
why are your peppers so curly???
and so deluxe pizzas are unfortunately a little jaded
they've fallen to room temperature waiting for us to fight for their rights
when they've been fighting for cheese pizza rights all along they've been too
strong
for too long so how do we solve this problem
you know I think it's called intersectionality
when we talk about pizza rights we need to be talking about
all pizzas not just cheese pizzas that are deemed socially acceptable
and worthy of saving and worthy of having a place in popular culture
we need to be talking about pizzas who are sexually attracted to other pizzas
pizzas who aren't sexually attractive anything pizzas who identify as burgers
and pizzas with different toppings because as great as it is to uplift cheese pizzas
the world could use a lot more flavor. thank you for watching. I'll see you soon with another video.
bye
