The poster is great, until the 'That's so politically correct'. Everything from then on made me raise my eyebrows.

That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.

For I was an hungred, and ye told me to pull myself up by my bootstraps: I was thirsty, and ye demanded payment for the privilege of thine urine: I was a stranger, and ye deported me: naked, and ye arrested me for indecency.

Okay, so maybe it can come off as a little insensitive, but that doesn't invalidate its point.  Besides, it's probably more against the notion that minorities are somehow morally superior than anything else.

Racism is a system of economic discrimination against people of a particular ethnicity and the ideas enforcing that system. It's almost impossible for an ethnic minority to be racist unless they're mercenary.

Basically conservatives are saying "Would that the world treated everyone equally, but if you do anything to achieve that, you're a racist". Well, fuck you. Bet you didn't think of that, did you?

The party's name is the Democratic Party. It has been since 1830. Please spell correctly.

Shouldn't you be writing a social justice tumblr?

Regardless of your opinion on Affirmative Action, it does make a good point.

The point of the sign is that minorities can be racist too.
They can, but that sign is a right shitty way of 'saying' it. Use actual examples rather than trying to tap into a kneejerk reaction and failing. When I look at that sign I don't see a racist, I see someone had the time to make a really lousy sign that fails to make it's point in any way other than assuming people will call white people racist on reflex, which isn't terribly true outside of tumblr SJWs.

Actually, racism is the idea that certain races are somehow inherently superior or inferior to others. You see this in the stereotypes that all blacks are either athletic or lazy, that all Asians are good at math but terrible drivers, and yes, in the idea that it's impossible for minorities to be racist.

Now, racism in attitude has often led to economic racism, even today, but that doesn't mean "racism=inflicted economic disadvantage". Having spent time in prison, I can tell you categorically that stereotyping and assumptions of superiority or inferiority are FAR from limited to whites.

If you look at it logically, cannibalism has great potential to simultaneously solve our overpopulation and food shortage problems.

I've never understood the menality that goes 'Yeah, well someone else totally has it worse so fuck you'. Here's an idea, drop the front that you're out to save everyone in the world and admit that you really only give a shit about your pet causes. It'd help, people might believe you then.

Didn't Chris Rock have a bit about the most racist guy at work being an elderly black man?
