Immigration activist (and illegal alien) Jose Antonio Vargas, who has apparently been offered a place to stay by Michael Ian Black, has a message for “white people”:
Dear White people:
Don't get defensive when someone says "Whiteness" is racist. It is. It doesn't mean YOU are. Unless, of course, you are.

See irony or hypocrisy there?
Not sure what the logic is here, but there is a specific term for someone who judges others based on the color of their skin… https://t.co/cCVkHatXc6

Yeah, what’s that word? Seems it starts with an “R” and ends with an “ism.”

Dear racist MTV:
When you define people by their skin color, you are racist. No matter how you lie to yourself, you are still a bigot. Txs https://t.co/VnIWqJ5mF6— Nephanor PhD PROvert is [Mombot] (@Nephanor) April 3, 2017

Dear Racist Prick,
Please note I am addressing this to a single individual and not assuming anything about people through accident of birth https://t.co/TAhUUGNBIi

Howver, Vargas did get a show of support:
I get it. It is the culture I was accidentally born into. I now understand the privilege and choose to use it for justice.
