Wow, some of the comments here are just as bad. What happened to treat people the way you want to be treated?

Racism is racism.

Ugh this is real and I'm stumped

It would be more accurate if they had replaced the word "white" with "hegemony"

Yeah, man. Down with the cishet capitalist patriarchal hegemoney.

I find the bottom comments are never that entertaining. It's the replies to very baity comments that are the most fun to read.

Making things worse for other people isn't going to help your cause. It only creates more hate

Amazing how if you replace the white with Jew, you sound like a Nazi.....hmmm maybe this is a sign?

Yea, a sign that people don't understand what a false equivalence fallacy is

Finally Salon.com is speaking the truth about our Jewish oppressors! PS: What's a racism simulator? Sounds Jewish.

They're just 40% of the 1%, stop pretending that they're some sort of privileged group! :^)

Protip: if you want to bash Jews today, instead say "bankers". Everyone hates bankers. Even though a lot of them are Jews.
othelloinc
...or "the 1%".

I don't actually want to bash Jews as a group. At worst, I'd like to point out that they're a group with several institutional privileges.

I'm not sure you can without people thinking you're literally Hitler.

If you change the race and it suddenly become racist, guess what? It was already racist...
tetracycloide
Devil's advocate: "The white man ran out on his kids to eat watermelon and chicken." Change the race to black and it sounds racist.
Virunuss
Racist either way as race has zero part of that topic other than from someone attempting specifically to MAKE it about race
tetracycloide
Wow... Gonna have to agree to disagree on that I guess.
theboiledpeanuts
There's no such thing as context or nuance
lordsmish
If you are using it as a headline no. Start shouting racial slurs at people in the street then ask them to think about the context.
Thefluffernutter
TIL: "white" is a racial slur.
lordsmish
Not the word the allegation surrounding it. Look up the definition of slur
Thefluffernutter
Not even remotely. It's like if I wrote an article titled - "OP is a faggot": homophobia on Imgur - and you called me homophobic for using 1
Thefluffernutter
The word "faggot". They are quoting the phrasing to make a point, not genuinely using it. 2/2
TheArtfulReposter
As a white male, the truth of white privilege is a sea I've been swimmin in my whole life. I'm not wracked with guilt, just love more ya'll
Texantioch
On level with you. White "guilt" is shit, but the fact that I'm living out of a 16 ft camper for fun right now attests to privilege.
aidanjt
Are you trying to say minorities can't rent/purchase 16' campers? White privilege is the myth that never dies...
aidanjt
...the only heritable privilege is wealth and land ownership, and it's spanned the globe to the advantage to the very few from the start.
Texantioch
I think the "myth" part is misconstrued by those who don't believe in it. It's not that every white person has it made, it's that being-
Texantioch
-white in America means on a whole not having to deal with cop harassment, not dealing with skepticism for having a "black sounding name" -
NOINOON
And another one incorrectly assumes privilege to be the same as wealth.
aidanjt
They're often regarded as synonymous because the latter buys the former, whether directly or indirectly. It's a story as old as time.
GodzillaBoomingMarketOfDiabetes
This is fucking glorious, lol'd. If only this would actually put the more liberal media's into a correct perspective.
thefuzziestnipplesever
A broad generalization about a group of people on a post outlining how this can be a bad thing. The irony is palpable
Darwinthenaturalselector
You act like the conservatives are any better.
GodzillaBoomingMarketOfDiabetes
No, nothing in my post even insinuated that. It's just that the shit more liberal news channels spew is complete bullshit without citing-
GodzillaBoomingMarketOfDiabetes
Any actual credible statistics and more so pushing their own agenda for ratings even if it's untrue. Yes, the right does this too but it's-

As prevalent and damaging as the left seems to flourish in.

NOINOON
You comment as if you thought "the black people" and "the white people" held a similar inherent status in the society.
GodzillaBoomingMarketOfDiabetes
Youre quite the fucking moron.
NOINOON
E.g. as if you thought racism against black people was a myth.
GreenJ
They never said anything about racism towards blacks being nonexistent. You assumed that because you have to be a martyr.
RonTheVerge
And you comment as if only white people can be racist and racism against them is somehow ok.
NOINOON
You've completed the achievement "non sequitur."
BluBoxx
Prejudiced, but it takes the power to affect that prejudice on others to be "racist" in the true sense of the word 2/2
RonTheVerge
rac·ism prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against those of a different race based on belief that one's own race is superior.
RonTheVerge
No. Don't pull that "Power + prejudice" crap. Racism has one definition. Stop trying to change it so that you can fit a narrative.

Using the original and current scientific definition of racism, only the race with social power can be racist. Anyone can be racially 1/

No one gives a shit about the semantics. Racist vs. Racially prejudiced... again, no one gives a shit.

To the segregation of society. Even if a majority of people decide to do something awful, you cannot a tribute that to all of them. 2/3

People need to sit down, shut up and respect others. If you can't respect them, tolerate them. The fact that we haven't figured this out 3/4

Means that we can't grow as a collective.

I see you don't understand racism or social polity. Carry on the circle jerk

That was some insightful stuff pooponwheels!
firebreatheralpha
That's...highly disturbing. Certainly puts things in a broader context. I would love to hear the authors defend these articles.
firebreatheralpha
Or try to, rather.
PhiIIipJFry
To be fair, these comparisons aren't exactly 1 to 1. There is historical context that makes some racist comments more offensive.
YouL0stTheGame
Like they would respond to this. Ha.
dasklaus
Honestly, I can defend about half of these, but I'd need more characters than 140. Some of the rest I can explain, but not defend.
lostflguy
Umm.. how? I'm not even Jewish but is this really worth a follow up?
Leegionnaire
A program changed the word "white" to "jew". Still racist but with white people. Look at the first image.
lostflguy
Heh my point was why give this a second nod, regardlessz. And downvotes. Meh
squip
They have an easy answer. They'll just tell you that you can't be racist to white people. LOL. I wish I was kidding.
jprvs
They're simply supplying what the market demands. They write like that because there's an audience for it.

Jesus fuck thats the saddest truth there is
Derrapin
Bashing people in power for their actions is perfectly legit without bringing race or sex into it. Doing so is literally racism and sexism.
BlackIC
Nah, we've redefined those words so that we can be awful people and pretend that we aren't.
Derrapin
Sadly redefining words until they have lost all meaning is all too usual nowadays.
daftthoughts
What if the vast majority of people in power are white and the systems they created discriminate against non-whites to make it more >
daftthoughts
> difficult for them to achieve the same status as the white people in power, even though they're all equally qualified?
Derrapin
when you refer to people as a race, you are practicing racism
Derrapin
It is very apparent in the USA. you can question their motives using racism.
Derrapin
But please don't preface your statement with "Since the vast majority of people in power are white" because i read that between the lines
Derrapin
and that's however wrong it may feel is racism.

I can understand your concern after reading these. As someone who is white, I thought of the ORIGINAL titles to see if they'd bother me -->

It's simple, European dominance since the 15th century somehow justifies racism against white people. It's fucking dumb
MinorClarification
There is no such thing as white people.
MarxAvenger
Did you just assume I don't exists?
MinorClarification
I mean white people as anything other than a skin tone. There is no shared white culture
MarxAvenger
Western civilization isn't a culture anymore? Ok.
revcleo
It ain't about being top of the class, it's about being top of the class because you've been brutalising the rest of the class.
DeathStarWasAnInsideJob
Being the top of the class=brutalising the class. First the Sumerians, then Mongol slaughter across the continent, Roman, British empire etc
LMeire
Actually the first was Akkad, King Sargon is most often credited with inventing both conquest and cultural tolerance of conquered people.
revcleo
Yes, we should make up for the bad & recent deeds of the British Empire, just because other people have been bad, doesn't make you good.
revcleo
Churchill fucked the middle east by drawing arbitrary lines and giving countries away, doesn't mean if someone else does it, it's less bad.
OriginaIPoster
There is little to nothing that can be done to "make up" and the idea that we have to make up for our ancestors is bullshit. Some fucker
badluckwaldo
All humans have been brutalising all humans since literally the first humans.
revcleo
Which doesn't make it good.
badluckwaldo
(2/2) a bigger bearing on brutality than anything. Jihads and such.

Oh I don't recall saying it was good. I'm just saying, it certainly isn't just white people. Or any specific race- I'd say religion has(1/2)

You mean like, statistics?
aguacatedeldiablo
The question is, what's their benchmark for "typical", and why should we care? And does it strike you as anti-Semitic as written?
revcleo
Why not go look up the article? just google "Average australian politician white two houses"
storebrandproductmascot
Pretty sure their benchmark for "typical" in this type of article would be "statistical average"

"Statistical average" is a poor mathematical construct to apply to this scenario, and I don't really care what you're "pretty sure" of

A CEO is more likely to be called John than be a woman. If you switch out "John" for "Jewish" do you think that'd be racist?
ParkBagDoucheJob
Typical African American male has multiple children out of wedlock and a criminal record. Statistics shouldn't be applied to individuals.
revcleo
The way you're using statistics is racialised out of context. That's the difference. The typical Black American man has an untraditional
revcleo
western family structure, and is more likely to have been victimised by the police. That's another way of framing the statistics.
revcleo
Much like you could say, an african american female is unlikely to vote, or a black american woman has more difficulty in voting than white.
BluBoxx
That's not statistically valid. Typical African American male doesn't have a criminal record or illegitimate children...
