oyceterYup, this is public; I am that pissed off.

Because what the fucking fuck? Don't fucking throw the RAPE OF NANKING in my face when I am talking about white privilege. I just. I cannot type because WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK?! My grandfather was in the Chinese Navy then, fighting against the Japanese. I have friends with relatives who grew up not speaking Taiwanese because of the occupation. My family left the fucking country and moved to Taiwan because of that war. Don't throw that in my face as a counter to white privilege and just fucking assume I haven't heard of it for some reason; you have no fucking idea.
Comments by people not on my flist are screened; everyone else feel free to comment, but please note I am REALLY FUCKING PISSED OFF about this. Don't be stupid. I will repost asshattery under a filter and mock, and I don't fucking care if you somehow think that's unfair.

What Lady Ganesh said
Tue, Jul. 31st, 2007 11:13 pm (UTC)I noticed the same thing, even back when I was still an indoctrinated Christian conservative kid - there was a tremendous amount of energy that went into "proving" that 1) liberals were the real sexists against women, 2) liberals were the real racists for supporting affirmative action because that meant they were saying that blacks couldn't bootstrap themselves up! 3) Africans were worse racists than whites because they sold their own people into slavery, 4) the Nazis were gay! = See, we're not really sexist/racist/fascist, *you* are!
