You know what it is? White people just don’t know much about being silenced and dismissed. Like, yeah, it sucks. ASK US HOW WE KNOW
Hahaha wow I’ve only seen white people tweet that New Republic check-your-privilege piece into my stream

-
There’s a host of coping strategies and rhetorical moves for when you’re being unfairly silenced
-
I’m gonna go ahead and guess that certain demographics don’t get many chances to practice those. Suddenly “check-your-privilege” is ~scary~
-
If someone is abusing check-your-privilege to derail a conversation, you deal with it, just like with every other kind of derail
-
The funniest part of the TNR piece is the bit where the writer quotes a goddamn tumblr bio though
-
Someone who writes the Check Your Privilege At the Door tumblr only lists privileges instead of "personality, interests, or achievements"
-
lmao I wonder how a list of privileges might be a salient bio at a tumblr literally called “Check Your Privilege At the Door”
-
Wow the more I think about it, the more insulting this paragraph is:pic.twitter.com/7lv51ayh7S
-
Like “lesbian” or “I identify as fat and as an atheist” don’t signal personality, interests, or achievements?
-
The style of that bio clearly signals what part of the internet she’s from. Hmmm signaling in-group status through bio? Heaven forbid
