Catherine "Cathy" Brennan is an attorney[2] in the state of Maryland and a prominent supporter of "trans-critical" radical feminism. Her main accomplishment in this regard is coauthoring a letter to the United Nations, insisting that trans people should not be extended human rights protections.[3] She is also a frequent columnist for Baltimore OUTloud's LGBTQ blog section, which she uses to warn of the coming "lesbian annihilation" at the hands of "the queers" and trans people[4] and stridently argue against legislation protecting gender identity.
She justifies some of her actions, such as the outing of queer youth to their schools,[5] by pointing to the things some people have said in response to her attacks (trivialization of violence against women, e.g). However, she seems completely apathetic about similar behavior among her "intellectual" kin.[6]
personally I propose we use different dnd classes for each different level of the social justice activist spectrum
that way we can continue using the term ‘social justice warrior’ for people who make blatant attempts to start shit and make death threats over minor shit while acting like they have no obligation to explain anything to anybody
but then we could have social justice bards who take time out of their day to educate people privately on issues of privilege and treatment of minorities
social justice rouges could participate in subtlely increasing visibility and activism by increasing their usage of inclusive language and promoting projects and media created by disadvantaged groups
social justice mages could personally create media that is educational or representative of oppressed groups they are a part of
and then theres me
social justice beastmaster
who really just sort of laughs at people who are just really, flagrantly, apologetically dumb with my friends.
i really like your ideas b/c i think cuteosphere missed the mark completely on why people use the term “social justice warrior”

^Don't forget how white people cannot be discriminated against.

^Don't forget how white people cannot be discriminated against.
In a white-dominated society, they can't; or rather, any instances of such are quite rare, miniscule, and un-harmful compared to discrimination against racial minorities. For example, a white person complaining that there aren't white-only scholarships. If a white person left the western world where other racial groups are the majority, then they could be discriminated against.

This is true in the United States (and also the UK and maybe Australia though I'm not positive), but in other parts of the world harmful white-on-white discrimination certainly exists.
The presumption that all racial discussion pertains solely to American and British citizens is the anglocentrism that a lot of people are bugged about Tumblr frequently displaying.
I can't offhand name any instances of other-race-on-white discrimination, though I'm sure some must exist somewhere.
As such, you're not wrong per se, but you should keep in mind that not everyone is necessarily speaking about the United States or United Kingdom.
Also, while "hurr durr white people" jokes are not exactly harmful, they can cause hurt feelings, which are never good. Personally I take it in stride but not everyone does.
On the other hand of course, most white people jokes come from other white people, so. Y'know.
Yeah I guess he counts. When I hear "Mugabe" I just think of the massive inflation Zimbabwe had going on because it was the only thing the news ever reported on for some reason.
I believe it's a little bit of both. Though I'm not exactly an expert on the politics of Britain. And I won't get my certification until next semester.
Oh also the idea of cleaving the world (or even this country) into "White/POC" is itself incredibly racist and ignores both the important cultural and genetic differences between basically all nonwhites as well as those between different groups of "caucasians".
In fact I'd argue the term "POC" is itself racist, as it reduces all nonwhites into a generic blob who are then spoken of as a group--usually by white people--when they're not really a group at all, and are only unified by not being European.
I mean think of it, how many people have you met that self identify as "a person of color" as opposed to black, hispanic, asian, indian, indigenous, etc? And indeed how many white people have you met (other than incredible racists) who identify as white over anything else?
POC is a good shorthand when talking about racial/ethnic discrimination that hits a lot of races at the same time (i.e. Hollywood whitewashing), but I see what you're talking about.
There was one post talking about headdresses and giving examples of 'white' headdresses that one could adopt so they wouldn't have to wear 'POC' headdresses. Someone quickly called them out on that though.
I mean, I think of myself as Dutch first and foremost, and while I might also have Polish, Russian, and Lithuanian ancestry, I look Dutch and bear a Dutch name (you're unlikely to find many brits named "Nathan-Micheal"), so I'd say I have little in common culturally with Piotr Fogelev (who later became Robert Fogel), who is my closest Russian ancestor.

I divide a culture into racial majority/racial minority; the former group is self-identified (see: Italians eventually being accepted as "white" in America) but is in power, while the latter group is everyone else. It's not the only thing that divides a culture, but it is one of them.

This is again not wrong per se, but it's an oversimple way of looking at race and culture as a whole.
It's fine for most arguments you're likely to run into in modern America though. Usually, anyway.
I'm not trying to prove anybody wrong here, I'm mostly just making conversation.

I'd argue that things like this can't afford shorthands.
I'd argue that, occasionally, things like this can. However, I'll admit that overuse of it is a bad thing, and that such terminology falls apart whenever the conversation moves away from the States and sometimes Europe.
Fair enough but honestly I don't see any reason to prefer it over "nonwhites", which I'd argue is a superior term because it implies a negative unity ("a group of people who are not white") as opposed to a positive unity, and the former is more accurate.
Really the only advantage "POC" has that I can think of is that it's shorter to type.
It's kind of bad how US-centric prejudice conversations are. We never go into Zimbabwe or the Japanese's handling of anyone who's not Japanese.
It's the same way in Psychology, you know? Most of the studies are done in the West (and then, usually in the US), so we often call things universal when they're just aspects of Western societies. Do some of the same experiments in Japan or Nigeria and you can get entirely different results.
or how courses on the crusades tend to take a strongly pro-crusader stance.
There are a lot of things you can argue, really, and the common counterargument ("we don't have many records on this stuff") doesn't hold water, because we don't have a lot of records about a lot of stuff that is covered in history courses (like Sumeria), but historians are historians and can do their job well when incentive to.

Isn't there a referendum on Scottish independence next year?
