Color-blind remarks, such as “When I look at you, I don’t see color” are demeaning refusals to acknowledge a person’s race. According to Sue et al.

What the frick? So if you state persons of color are somehow different, that's racist. But you when you say, "I don't see color", you're demeaning someone?

And "microinvalidations"? Seriously?

Why don't they put all the white kids in one school, the blacks in another, and so on... you know segregate them so they can feel comfortable



This is the best idea ever! We could also make different bathrooms, restaurants, water fountains etc so the black people won't have to worry about micro-aggressions

I wonder if the isolated Latina would say that if she were in a room full of white people from Madrid or Buenos Aires

Scenario: White kids existing in a group:

Response: Racism Alert!!!

Scenario: A white kid debating another white kid on the best sports car or internet service provider:

Response: Watch it! Racism!

The existence of 2 or more white people in public is clearly racist so it should not be allowed.

This country is past the point of no return when it comes to this PC type bullcrap.

And what about a white person who feels isolated in a room full of black people? RACIST!

You can't win with these people. They are just like the black militant Muslims during the Civil Rights Era. You're evil BECAUSE you're white. It's inherent fault. It's ridiculous.

Why can't minorities just shut up and get along? It works for white people.

What's amazing is that they're too stupid to see that they're using the exact same view as they accuse white students of using. They've shown no actual sign of being racist, but they're white, so they must be treating me differently, I just am not sure how.

That is straight-up fricking nuts right there.
