I saw this in another thread, might answer your question:
So basically white people cant even use the word black anymore, but black people can use any vial insults they want towards white people as they’ve been oppressed? I honestly see why we’re getting nowhere with equality if that’s the general rule. I feel like I’m going to be labeled a racist for even asking this question.

I use black and white to differentiate between people. Can't see a problem with using the word black in a non racist context.So basically white people cant even use the word black anymore, but black people can use any vial insults they want towards white people as they’ve been oppressed?

Hi guys, I posted this elsewhere.
Hope you blokes find the culprit
A thread to discuss the racial abuse of one of our own players has quickly degenerated into a discussion of whether white people can be victims too.
F. F. S.
According to that nutjob, if black people were the dominant power in any country or society then they couldn't experience racism.
This is the problem with SJW arguments, always fall apart when you actually think about them because the people behind them are not as smart as they think.
Well generally when you tell a large group of people that it's impossible for them to be victims or discriminated against there will be some push back, because you know, common sense.
That's totally incorrect. The exact point is that the dominant and privileged race puts in place structures that allow for discrimination against people based on race.
"Redlining" suburbs in the US, Native American "reserves", the White Australia policy etc.
The current situation in South Africa shows some racism towards white people from black people. White farmers don't seem to get the protections as others. However, that is a very complicated situation as the blacks, despite being the overwhelming population majority, have only recently taken some of those "power" positions and the majority of wealthy and educated people there are still white.
It's not a "black" vs "white" thing. It's just that in the Western countries we think about "white" people are dominant and various people colour are marginalised.
There are plenty of other examples of similar systemic racism that are not "black vs white". Rohingya's in Myanmar, Tamil's in Sri Lanka, Uyghurs in China. Gypsies are another example. Obviously the Jewish people, in particular around World War 2.
Feel free to start a discussion about the indescribable pain of being a white person, about the oppression of being told you can't be oppressed, the suffering that dare not be spoken of etc. etc.
Just pop it into a different thread, because starting a conversation about the racial abuse of white folk in this thread seems desperate, pathetic, irrelevant, and disrespectful.
Common sense, I would have thought.
Are people honestly surprised? Do you think this will ever go away? No, it won't. These sorts of people that don't understand why "chimp" is degrading, insulting and racist have a level of intelligence akin to an amoeba. Thankfully, these sorts of people are in the minority. Most normal people know it's not okay. I mean look at the dude who wrote it. He used his real name.
Surely he should lose his job then if we know exactly who he is and what he looks like?

Ah yes, more nonsense white guilt. I never whinged about being a white person, I'm just pointing out white people can in fact be victims and can be discriminated against. It IS possible. Get it?
Oh yeah, I get it. I think it's great that you're providing some searing insight into race relations. You should put out a petition. I won't commit myself to your cause, but these guys are definitely on board.

But my point, really, was that your insights into racism against white folk shouldn't litter a thread dedicated to the racial abuse of Varcoe. Get it?
I didn't come here to talk about white people, but when someone else sense nonsense it needs to be corrected. Trying to abuse me doesn't really help your argument, relax.
How did I try and abuse you?
Not everything is about you.Oh yes, act dumb. What exactly was that picture meant to mean? I know the meme, the internet sees those 2 are crazy racist white privileged people and you tried to lump me in with them. don't try and weasel out of it.

I have seen that picture (not a meme) many times over the past days and it didn't occur to me as applying to you.
I was lampooning your argument. The picture was used as a way to assist in the lampooning of your argument.
If this is classed as 'abuse' in your world, then the logic of white oppression becomes a bit clearer to me...
But being a generous spirit, not wanting to cause any distress, let me apologise for any offence caused.
