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.

What do you think? Idk, I honestly haven't met a white person like that... I would tell them to knock it off, and tell them I don't know how to deal with it

How would you tell what a person is using internally to continue their behaviour? Is it they get small 'wins' and that's enough to re-inforce the self-righteous behaviour?

Maybe, but I think it's more of like repetition of such behaviors and how they act to other POC and white people, because I think that would indicate their ungeniune nature...

If they act otherwise naturally as themselves to everyone around them, I wouldn't harbor much suspicion,

But then again, this is a social media site

Ceci n'est pas la realite...
