I'm sorry, but THIS isn't racist? 'WHITE HIPSTERS NOT ALLOWED'. If you replace it with any other race, THAT is racist, but if you put white, then SOMEHOW it isn't racist! And whites just have to be okay with that. Sorry. This pisses me off. Equality means to be EQUAL, NOT 'EVERYONE ELSE GETS ALL THE BENEFITS AND LEAVES THE REST WITH THE SCRAPS.' This is NOT okay, and THIS IS RACIST. 

Please stop talking about something you don't understand.

If you would like me to help you understand, I will do so tomorrow because right now it's my bedtime.  But for now… please, stop.

Wait, wait, wait.

In what delusional world do POC get 'all the benefits,' and white people get, 'the scraps?'

WHAT benefits? WHAT scraps?

Are you fucking kidding, here?

It's racist to specificy race with a 'get out' or similar such message. Regardless of what the race is. Racism isn't about privilage, status, etc. It's about *disliking and discriminating against a race of people*. Sexism is about disliking/discriminating against *any given gender*. Ageism is about disliking/discriminating against *younger or older people*.

Prejudice and intolerance, regardless of age, sex, creed, color, etc is bad.

Assuming I agreed with your first statement, which I don't, my question was purely about the somehow baffling notion that the world is a playtoy for POC, who get all the good stuff while poor unfortunate disempowered white people get the 'scraps.'

Does that sound like reality to you?

I actually agree with kirailabs. Racism toward minorities is more prevalent in society, but it really isn't okay for anyone to discriminate based on race, religion, gender, or whatever. It's a pretty nasty double standard to say "discrimination isn't okay UNLESS IT'S DIRECTED AT X GROUP, BECAUSE THEY'RE THE MAJORITY AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN NEARLY AS OFTEN". The whole practice is ugly and works to ostracize and inflict shame based on generalizations. Being white, black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, or otherwise is all fine, and no group should be condemned for being born with one ethnicity or another IMO. We're all just people, everybody does good and bad, and while I can understand frustration while enduring discrimination I don't think that's an excuse to return the favor in-kind.

My head hurts so much right now.

A thousand people are going to say this more eloquently than me, but HOW in god's name is a hand-drawn poster responding 'in kind' to centuries-old, institutionalized and systemic racism? 

'In kind?' Really?  That's how this seems to you?
