saying something this edgy does not absolve you of bigotry

edit: for anyone stumbling into the drama, i probably should have elaborated on this post. I am not saying you can’t make fun of white people not being able to eat spicy food or anything, but at some point it becomes self-flagellating. to quote comrade RedQuestionAsker:

It’s good to challenge white supremacy in all of its incarnations at all time. It’s certainly good to refuse to be proud to be white considering what the concept of whiteness is.

It’s another thing to performatively hate yourself in a cocktail of millennial self-deprecation and liberal white guilt. It’s not revolutionary, and it’s probably not good for you.

that is all. comrades just know i dont hate any of you. i’m not trying to start a slapfight. i just saw this as weird performative behavior and wanted to call it out.

    For this analogy to work, you’d have to replace “became a massive bigot towards LGBTQ+ people” with “dated a straight person,” or are you claiming that those two things are equivalent?

        You’re the one who brought up LGBTQ+ as a point of comparison to begin with, so I guess by your own standards, either you don’t know enough to be speaking in this conversation, or you’re just arguing in bad faith.

        Which is about what I’d expect from a day-old account that wants to socially and economically punish POC for dating white people. Funny enough, that’s also what white supremacists want. Not “what white supremacists want but with the races reversed,” but literally, exactly what white supremacists want.
