I can't really take anyone seriously who uses the term "SJW."

I saw Ilhan Omar use the phrase "social justice warrior" a few days ago, almost in a sense that she was reclaiming the words back. But that's like the only time in the last several years where I don't feel like it's been used in a pejorative sense.

"SJW" is not a pejorative aimed primarily at white people. In the context of college campuses, at least, the targets of the rhetoric are much less likely to be white than the people deploying it. If you want a term to mock a particular configuration of whiteness, this ain't it.

It's the exact opposite. To the extent campus SJWs have had any success re Title IX, they've mostly targeted black students.

FWIW, my observation about the term's actual life isn't some conceptual prior on my part, it's how I see/hear the term used on the college campus where I work.

Okay, so to clarify, my familiarity with the term's actual use is in fandom rather than uni campuses (I left US unis in 2012).

As far as I can tell, SJW fandom is concerned about 3 things: - Anti-racism - Sexual and romantic consent - Queer rights

I have no complaints re the third, but from what I've observed they're hypocritical re the first two and only pretend to practice them.

No but *who* do you see usually using the term to point out hypocrisy?

Usually people on the fringes of the spaces in question, like the con goer who was assaulted and wasn't believed by the organizers.
