Update: Sarah Jeong also thinks that boys are icky and have cooties.

What's next? Is Sarah going to advocate killing all humans in order to make animals safer? Should we kill all animals to make plants safer? Should will kill all plants to make abiotic matter safer?

Would Sarah Jeong get mad if a Stalinist took all of her money? I'm just accepting the conclusions of her premises.

If reverse racism isn't possible according to some because whites are the majority and they have power, does that mean the second that whites become the minority they can be wanton vocal and proud haters on the then majority?

"Um, well no, because........"

Racism is racism, period.

Sarah Jeong is just feeding into white supremacy with her garbage. She's making me feel pretty proud of my whiteness right now.

This is complete nonsense. Affirmative action disproportionately benefits white women.

What? How do you figure?

Employers can use white women to fill affirmative action quotas. The law doesn't require them to hire people of colour.

All this drama over a person posting obvious satire in response to Twitter trolls.

Umm... yeah. Thanks for bringing this important matter to my attention.

Sweetleaf, I'm guessing that Sticky is a Dinesh D'Souza fan, so expect more right wing conspiracy theories coming your way.

Oh, just redefine racism as “prejudice plus whiteness”.

I don't know, I've heard trolling before but that's some very strong language.

I read the recent Vox article on her and although I like their content I'm not sure how partial they're being about an employee of their sister site.

https://www.vox.com/2018/8/3/17644704/s ... ash-racism

All the reasoning here's credible and the fact that the tweets come from one central time period(2014) supports their claim that it's just rehashed trolling but I'm not sure how anyone can innocently follow that type of humor. Not my place to play the humor police but there should be a line. Maybe Times got tired of everyone calling them out for playing both sides are the same rhetoric and enticed a bit of radicalism

Something that jumped out to me tho, unrelated, Guardians of the Galaxy's hit multi-billion status- grief. I knew they were popular but man I've been naive to their influence.

Read one of Norton's articles as well, would anyone say that it's true that a part of whiteness is having racist friends? I've had racist family- Of which I have minimal contact with(Tbh I have minimal contact with much of my family) but I've always been selective with friends. Problem with this article to me is that coddling racists only furthers to meet a middle ground/compromise: somethings should not be the norm for a civilized society but jmo

Said article; https://medium.com/@quinnnorton/the-pro ... b67cc2d726

Way too much content in this thread breaches WrongPlanet guidelines, particularly those prohibiting racism. Locked.
