How someone interested in fighting racism responds:
“I didn’t know that! I’ll avoid doing/saying that from now on.”
How someone who doesn’t care about racism responds:
“Who are you, the PC police?”
“Calm down.”
“It’s really not a big deal.”
“You’re just racist against white people!”
“There are bigger battles to fight.”

How’s that? If someone says they are offended by something you say/did, it’s your damn job to stop. Who are you to tell someone how they should or shouldn’t feel?

I have never fucking had a Black POC talk to me that way like the girl in that video portrayed it to be.

Political Correctness - Criticisms →
These are some common arguments against political correctness you’ll come across. Learn to argue against them.
sictransitlaura asked: How should I deal with people in my life who say shit like "white men are the REAL minority" and "blacks need to get over it" ? I have lost many friendships lately because I refuse to associate with closed minded bigots any longer. I've been getting hate mail calling me a race traitor. I'm not a POC but it genuinely upsets me a great deal to hear the crap that comes...
Prejudice: [PoC calls white person a cracker].
Racism: Two centuries of PoC being stolen from their homelands, driven out of their native lands, tricked, raped, infected with disease, and otherwise downtrodden so as to remove them from any chance of being the dominant race.
Prejudice: [PoC gives a white person a nickname playing on the fact that they're white].
Racism: PoC must, from the moment they realize a baby is on the way, worry about whether giving a child a name reflecting their heritage will affect their chances at a good life in the future. Hint: it will.
Not racism: Calling out that slavery lasted for two centuries, and civil rights did not happen for PoC until the 20th Century (you know, the century which only ended TWELVE YEARS AGO).
Racism: We should not talk about it, because it makes [non-PoC] feel bad.
Not racism: A non-PoC actor can get pretty much any role s/he wnats.
Racism: ... including roles that were originally written as PoC. PoC actors must settle for roles making them servants, sassy women, jive turkey men, criminals, drug addicts, or abused downtrodden prostitutes, the better to reinforce the negative mental image of PoC in the minds of the zeitgeist, and hold up the excuse that "they bring it on themselves".
Not Racism: Flattering pictures of people used to represent them on the web.
Racism: Flattering pictures of Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Bachman. But the most unflattering pic available of Michelle Obama is used for the same article.
Not Racism: Articles about women's features.
Racism: Article purporting to have scientific "proof" that Black women are uglier than women of any other race.
Not Racism: America is where everyone is supposed to have equal chance.
Racism: Equal chance? Freed slaves were lucky if they got 40 Acres and a Mule, after working for free for generations for people who are now wealthy and offered no other reparations.
Not Racism: Irish History Month, Italian History Month, French History Month, German History Month, etc. All of which would, technically, qualify, btw, as White History Months.
Racism: It's not Cameroon History Month, Nigerian History Month, Egyptian History Month, Zimbabwean History Month, Zaire History Month, Somalian History Month, etc. It's BLACK History Month. Doesn't matter what country in Africa you come from. If you're Black you just all get lumped in together.
Not Racism: PoC describe their experiences.
Racism: Non-PoC interrupt, derail, silence, mock, deride, or cite "oversensitivity" because it makes them feel uncomfortable to know that PoC have endured this, and to have to acknowledge their privilege -- and their responsibility to do something about it if they really are as anti-racist as they profess.
...add your own examples.

cognitivedissonance:
Bill O and Monica Crowley just finished hollering about reverse racism because Barack Obama is encouraging African-American supporters to talk to people at their churches, and if Rick Santorum was to encourage white people to vote and talk to church members, then he’d supposedly be called a bigoted racist for encouraging white people to vote.

stfuconfederates:
I have a private question for you. Is it wrong to get sick and tired of seeing everything being associated with racism and being racially motivated?? I feel like every disagreement on tumblr is blamed on race when PoC are involved, and because of this, I stay out of any conversations on racism. I’ve become even more discouraged to speak up about racism because of that post...
Anonymous asked: What do you think about white people doing capoeira?
Anonymous asked: I really doubt that anon was Mexican. Just going to come out and say that shit. And if they're not white, I bet they're white passing.
Anonymous asked: "There are hardly any negative stigmas attached to being white." Except that all white people are the fucking devil and don't know jack shit. Jesus fucking Christ man. Calm yourself; this blog is a joke. And this is coming from a poor Mexican woman living in a predominantly upper class white community. When are people going to realize that this pretentious "Silly white people,...

Like I said at 8am this morning, I plan to post about this all motherfucking day.
So late last night, someone told well known Black NDN jalwhite that “they need to stop talking about being Native because they don’t have the ‘Native’ experience; they just look Black”.

Yellow Fever: Dating as an Asian Woman →
People with Yellow Fever don’t want to get to know Asian women. In fact, I would venture to say that they don’t care very much about Asian women at all. They are more concerned with the idea of us— the notion that we are adorable little kawaii girls or demure lotus flowers or geisha-like sexual objects. Their attraction to Asian women relies on stereotypes that turn us into exotic sexual objects...

I’m not going to lie. I didn’t understand what the big deal was at first either. I realized however, that that was because I didn’t know anything about the subject.

It now makes sense to me why it is a big deal when white people...
