That they’re just as bad as straight white guys but they think that they’re entitled to speak on topics like racism, solely because they’re part of marginalized group even though they still enjoy the benefits of white privilege. They think that just because they experience discrimination based off of a concealable stigmatized identity, they’re granted a free pass to talk about things that don’t include them. They think that just because they’re gay, they’re allowed to say things like having an “inner black woman” but are confused when they’re called out on it. Because, like straight white men, they like to objectify PoC for stereotypes (but in slightly different ways: ”Asians are bottoms”, “Black men have big dicks”, etc.), and why do they do that? Because they’re white.
And they have the nerve to say things like, “You’re attractive for an Asian” or something, as if those two things are supposed to be exclusive and that I’m some kind of surprise/anomaly for them? That I should be flattered that they’re feeling “exotic” in that moment and I just happened to be “exotic, but not too exotic”?
The fact of the matter is that white gays are honestly no different than the rest of white society. They still objectify and stereotype us, but with the added bonus of them waving around their “I’m a minority too!” card in our faces when we call them out.
So I have a lot against white gays.
Yaknow, I get so many messages from people telling me that it’s wrong to “generalize all white people” and that they’re unfollowing me (like? Okay, don’t follow me then, you don’t have to announce your departure, I’m not going to notice either way),
so I just want to come out publicly and say that I’m sorry…
… that you guys would rather stay ignorant to real social issues because change requires challenging the status quo and makes you uncomfortable.
This actually irritates me, you are doing the exact same thing that you are complaining that all white people do, gay or straight.
No, not all of us are like that and just because you think that we are doesn’t make it right; you can’t generalise an entire group of people because you think they all generalise you. That isn’t challenging a status quo, that is just being as bad as the ones you hate.
Yes, white privilege does exist and that is a problem that we need to address, but not all white people have that privilege and it doesn’t make it right for any person, no matter their race or creed to tar all people with the same brush.
So what you’re saying is “#notallwhitepeople”.
Solid contribution.
No, what I am saying is that nobody has the right to degrade anybody else. We are all people, no matter what our skin colour is.
