Kotaku Senior Editor Gets ROASTED Over Claim That 'You Can't Be Racist Against White People'

One of the best things about being a Liberal is that Liberals are apparently (or so they seem to believe) granted the power of ultimate understanding of what is good and what is bad. While some might be considered hypocritical for applying seemingly random and different rules to different groups of people, the modern American Liberal believes that not only is this way of looking at the world perfectly consistent and not at all hypocritical... it's actually virtuous! If you don't like it or point out that that's absurd or silly they'll point you to some tract on intersectional theory or something to show you that they're absolutely right, that there's a good and scientific reason why only things White people and Republicans do are bad while things everyone else does are peachy keen... even if those things 'everyone else' is doing are the same things.

Where this idea rears its ugly head most often in conversation is the question of whose actions are allowed to be considered racist, and to the modern Enlightened Liberal mind the answer is always 'White People'. Because of power plus agency plus baloney or something. They're remarkably consistent in their inconsistency, and are happy to trot this belief out as though it's a universally acknowledged one for all to see. Case in point:

hi! you can't be racist against white people! thanks for tuning in!

Before you say 'Hey, that's just some nobody saying something dumb!', bear in mind that Alyssa Mercante isn't some random person. Alyssa is a Senior Editor at video game web site Kotaku, which while not as notable a news source as it was during its heyday leading the charge to smear people involved in 'GamerGate' as misogynists is still a well-known and reasonably powerful online news source in its sphere. She's definately a notable individual.

In many ways the worst thing about this entire mindset is that it more or less recreates the worst strawman version of Jim Crow era America and turns it around full blast on to White people and they all say 'that's fine!' It must be nice to be allowed to say awful things about and to people without ever having to worry about getting called out for it because of the peoples skin tone.

it's easy to laugh at a stupid woman from Kotaku who says white people cannot be victims of racism

but people who matter & who can kill you -- like surgeons -- agree with her

Yeah, that's a lot more disturbing.

Yes, you can be racist against White people. Being racist against any person means you're judging them not as an individual but as part of some racial monolith that you've constructed in your head. Every individual is different, just as every group within any racial demographic is different. If someone is running around saying that it's okay to be racist against one group or another (which is implied in saying that you can't be racist against that group)... well, there's a word for that kind of person. The word is Racist.
