FUN IDEA: Replace 'white' in this @BuzzFeed headline with any other race or ethnicity and see what happens

Really BuzzFeed? REALLY?

37 things white people ruined in 2017 https://t.co/C42aBX0uiS pic.twitter.com/TCF2yAGMdI

— BuzzFeed (@BuzzFeed) December 28, 2017

Some items from the list…

No. 1: Macaroni and cheese

No. 7: The United States of America

No. 31: Saying things like “YAAASSS queen!!!” and “Snatched my wig.”

No. 32: Joints

(And 17 of the 37 are basically the same and say white people ruined a certain song or dance, etc.)

Now imagine if any other race were in that headline? Oooh, boy:

If this is written about any other race every advertiser bails on company & a ton of people are fired. https://t.co/MaoGYqSRZ7

This isn’t racist at all @buzzfeed. Just imagine if a headline read like this for any other ethnicity & what the outrage (rightfully) would be. https://t.co/lhD5ILqGM1

Put BuzzFeed at the top of the list?

And no matter how you look at it, it’s bad:

Even if you subscribe to the asymmetric view of racism (ie, only some tribes can be racist, others can't), it should not be hard to see why this sort of article is bad for America https://t.co/cuSxWbMwEb

I have no patience for adults who treat this strand of progressive Internet culture as if it's equivalent to traditional racism, but I do wonder if it isn't contributing to the next generation of Stephen Miller types. https://t.co/c9Co62v0U4
