You know what never mind, messing around with intentionally dense internet trolls with racist snowflake agendas is just boring. The 'acknowledgement' required is what the white race perpetrated against places like the African and American continents. Reframing the argument into just 'british colonists' is extremely intellectually dishonest. Plenty of others have benefitted from it. I can't imagine being such a butthurt baby that maybe acknowledging this would make me whinge online.

Children who cannot possibly be expected to understand the "macro" debates and contexts to these battles are going to come across this stuff and just think "great, the world hates me because I'm white / a boy". And yes, it is "the world", because when you're a young pre-teen, what you see in the newspapers or on the TV does represent the world at large, in your young mind.

Lads, do yourselves a favour; don't spend the Sunday night of the August bank holiday weekend getting outraged at someone having a opinion on the internet. G'way and get a hug off someone, FFS. I accept that it could be damaging if young males or young white people were constantly subjected to, and took literally, the "urgh... men... white ppl" narrative that you see on some parts of the internet, Twitter especially. It's not usually meant to be taken literally though - and it shouldn't take too much effort to see such comments in their true context either. Do a quick search for "men r trash" or "why are white people..." and you could easily come away thinking that 'misandry' and 'anti-white racism' are the biggest issues facing society today. Dig a bit deeper though, and it's just people blowing off steam, spouting hyperbolic crap, using 'white people' as shorthand for 'assholes who happen to be white', or in the case of Sarah Jeong, simply breaking the 'two wrongs don't make a right' rule and trolling the trolls.

I dunno...
Outlaw Pete wrote: » Now that's lazy and laughable, as sure even your friends use that term. Yeah, I noticed and you should have stopped there as everything after that was just excuses for her racism. This wasn't a handful of tweets over a few months. This was many hundreds over several years and it was expressed in other areas of her life also. You seem incapable of wrapping your head around the fact that an Asian or Black person can hate whites in the same way a white person can hate Asians or Blacks. Had this been a white journalist that was saying these vile things about Asians or Blacks, you would not be on here making excuses for them. Not a hope.

Maybe what she was doing there was using hyperbole to make an exaggerated point. Or maybe the staff at the New York Times will have to watch themselves. She uses the language of the right ('PC lies'), so I'm guessing there's some element of piss-takery going on there, maybe? Certainly has the effect of some top notch trolling anyway (i.e. drawing out the kind of outraged responses that she's getting, from the kind of people who wouldn't ordinarily give two hoots about racism).

Omackeral wrote: » "Daily Mail, lol", "Serious Men of Boards", "She's just using hyperbole". Why don't you just say that she's s racist scumbag with a horrible view and stop trying to justify it or make allowances. White people dont have the monopoly on being bigoted, racist scumbags. It's ok for you to admit that this wagon (and that's what she is, before you taking umbrage at that too) is way out of line for her public viewpoints. It's ok to just take it on its own without needing quantifiers and what-abouts. Scummy views being espoused by a scummy woman, regardless of ethnicity. I'd have the exact same view if you substitute any other skin colour in. Racism is to be abhorred, no matter who is perpetuating it. Just condemn her sh*te for the absolute muck it is. Try not to be swayed by how she looks, it's be a bit racist like...
