Haha racism good when we play the reverse uno card, definitely nothing wrong with that...

How do you expect to convince white racists that racism is bad if you upvote things that are racist towards them?

racism /rā′sĭz″əm/

noun

  1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
  2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
  3. The belief that each race has distinct and intrinsic attributes.

I know it's just a dumb meme but how do you think racism starts? My experience is it tends to begin as "just a joke" until it's normalised enough that someone feels comfortable enough to take off the mask and either encourage or perform discrimination and/or violence.

Why tolerate white racism when we don't tolerate any other kinds?

I see how it could somewhat fit the third definition if you craned your neck but I don't really think it applies.

(I'll see if I'm able to expand on it later)
