#racism #fashionwhite men used the white girl trope to disguise misogyny as anti-racism and then white girls used calling out the white girl trope to disguise racism as feminism

"Tumblr is too politically correct" is really just code for "I have no issues with the abundance of racism and transphobia on tumblr but the second people get angry about that kind of bigotry, THAT is when I have a problem"
I really don’t think we’re going to end racism by joking about it. Like i’m glad that the white liberals feel like they are less racist because they can joke about people who are more explicitly racist but that actually does nothing to help people of color
”No, no, you don’t understand.” The white guy whispers. ”I hate everyone equally.”
Suddenly he is absolved of all racism. As he is lifted into the sky, seven angels descend from the heavens with trumpets. He’s done it. He’s ended prejudice.
thank god racism is finally over looks like i can change my url
So CNN just showed a report on the royal visit to New Zealand, which not only actively mocked the cultural traditions of the Maori, comparing the haka to the mating dance of the emu, but also denigrated the cultural traditions of many other groups as being ‘native’ and generally silly. It’s this kind of shoddy journalism and blatant racism that perpetuates an idea of multiculturalism being some kind of childish joke and trivialises the identity of 15% of NZ’s population. If you want to do something about it, there is a complaint here, and the petition associated with it here. .
Thisnis disgusting CNN. Please sign the petition guys.
This is absolutely disgusting! THIS IS NOT JOURNALISM, I REPEAT THIS IS NOT JOURNALISM.
