What if the situation was reversed? If a Sikh man yelled and pointed in a White woman's face for minutes on end? He'd still be in jail.
What if Sikh woman did this to a White man? He wouldn't speak to her w compassion. She'd be dragged out Racist fantasies are for White ppl

Oh for the latitude of white people to defend themselves, both cultural and judicial.

WP share these examples to feed their colonial picture of POC as noble savages. They don't care about Jagmeet Singh or his humanity

True. They don't see any of the contradictions when they endorse non-violence too.
-
Happens on Twitter and offline all the time: they expect POC to "be nice" & not hurt their feelings. Take the violence. But be peaceful. SMH
-
They're very nuanced as to what violence is too. The definition always miraculously contorts itself to support white violence.

TRUTH.
<< That's me scoffing/ coughing on tears.
Also think they can define & redefine racism, though they've never thought about race
