      It’s interesting how vilifying an entire group of people based on the skin color is not considered racist if that skin color is white.

        Historically “racist” is the bunk pseudoscience that claimed white people are more intelligent than other racial groups. When you refer to someone in the modern age as racist you are comparing them to those idiots. It wouldn’t make a lot of sense to compare somebody to that group for disliking white people.

        To answer the deeper question you’re hinting at, although the post is racially predigest, making fun of white people for being white is generally considered punching up which is not frowned on in the same way as punching down.

          Considered punching up? Is that not racist itself? If a non-white considers making fun of white people to be “punching up”, then do they consider themselves as lesser than white people? We are all human, and discriminating based on race is racist regardless of the race.

          “punching” people in any direction simply for the color of their skin makes you a racist piece of shit.
          it really is that straightforward…

          it’s also an extremely online thing to do, and something you probably don’t go around doing in person… because you know what it really is…
