Hell, if I said it was ok to be short, nobody would assume I had some short supremacy leanings or are in favor of oppressing tall people.
Historically, short people have not been victims of atrocities, enslaved or suffered long-term oppression specifically due to their lack of height and neither have white people due to their race. Protections exist for the purpose of striving for equality as stated in the Declaration of Independence that "All men are created equal". The closer Americans and the human race gets to that, the more those who have held power resist. The problem with the signs is is not the literal statement made but their glaringly obvious intent to claim nonexistent reverse racism. I can not explain the issue any more clearly than this

Still waiting on a rationale that makes sense.

The problem with the signs is is not the literal statement made but their glaringly obvious intent to claim nonexistent reverse racism.
Declaring anti-white racism is a major issue in the US is as bad and dishonest as those who pretend like it isn't an issue at all.
The statement is declaring that being white is not something you should be ashamed or vilified for. . .it's ok to be white.
pretty simple
