winter gab ❄️ added,
given how people reacted to grayson that one time i'm not sure it's wrong of them to interpret it that way
those were less than a dozen decolonizers on social media. that's not really representative of everyone who might have a problem with "whiteness" and other such racial categories existing
"this extremely bad trend totally only exists on social media" is not my favorite genre of tweet given that people said it about nazis and tankies for years
i didn't say it only exists on social media. i said less than a dozen decolonizers on social media are not representative of everyone who might oppose whiteness, and it certainly doesn't decide the content and motivations of this event in particular
pointing to that specific event (with what happened to Grayson) is not sufficient evidence of the larger trend, but i do think a larger problem exists with decolonization in general. that's not a reason for me to think this event = the type of people who'd make boat memes
i think it's as reasonable to conclude that as it is to conclude that anyone who talks about men's rights is, if not a rape apologist, someone who would defend rape apologists.
i'm sure it couldn't be the case that opposing a social construct of ethnic superiority keying on white skin is the motte and opposing people with white skin is the bailey
