I have lived almost my whole life as a white man in Asia. People are racist to me all the time and there is little I can do about it. I just get on with my life and try not to let that negativity affect me too much.
Of course, whenever I go online, I get schooled on what racism really is by the new breed of Super-Woke. They know what racism is: literally anything any white person says or does.
In fact, even being white is now racist. Having this skin makes you a bad person, according to many supposedly well-meaning people on the Left.
Take a look at this typical social media crap:
Some of it is quite intelligent and informative. Or rather, it would be if you didn't know that genocide and hate crimes are a bad thing.
There is a lot of good and reasonable information in this picture but why the fuck is "We all belong to the human race" in the middle of it? Why is "Not all white people..." there?
This is a good example of going too far. Yes, we need to stop anti-black racism among white people. Yes, we need to stop wider racism in all parts of life and perpetrated on and by all people. But this sort of thing is bullshit and it is what has been happening for years.
Over the past decade or so, we have seen essentially the criminalisation of whiteness. It is now considered offensive simply to be white. You go on social media and are told that everything white people do and say is inherently racist because they are white.
White supremacy is a real thing and it is terrifying and needs to be stopped. But if you go to Asia or Africa, you see the same thing from people with different skin colours. It is not white skin that makes you racist, it is being racist.
Stop acting as though every white person is racist or that all racism is perpetrated by white people. It is objectively wrong. You can make all the clever memes you want to justify your point, but you will still be a dumbass generalising about a whole race while at the same time condemning racism. That takes a special kind of stupid.
As for cultural appropriation... Are you fucking kidding? Is it racist for Asian people to wear western-style clothing? No. Of course not. That is crazy. Yet it is racist for white people to wear Asian clothing. How fair and reasonable!
Stop the double standards. Let's actually put an end to racism by addressing it rather than making up stupid shit and pretending.
