Blind to Bigotry
If you are a progressive and you have at any point complained about a different countries norms; F, YOU. 
Let me explain. I have had to listen to all of your annoying, whinny, constant bitching about “colonizers” and “colonizing” for probably 5-6 years now. I’ve also had to listen to people whom ARE NOT racist or xenophobic be called both of those things. The biggest reason this pisses me off is that most of you are BLIND. Blind to your own racism and xenophobia. Let me start with anime and japan. Why is it that you progressives find it perfectly acceptable to try to convert a culture to norms YOU want, while also screaming about how colonization is bad? Do you know what colonization is? It’s certainly not going to a place and just killing everyone. No. What colonization is, is going to a place, settling there, and doing one of two things. Integrating with the locals and bringing over your customs and culture OR Forcing your culture ONTO the locals. Online shaming IS a form of colonization and it’s pretty freaking xenophobic. More over it’s kinda racist too. 
Recently I found this tweet. 
https://twitter.com/Smug_Legend/status/1248125753067286530?s=20
A tweet in which a “reviewer” proceeds to call a manga about a personal trainer, several things. One of such things is calling the MC “white”. No. The manga’s main character is Japanese. The culture in JAPAN is that of health. Their culture is DIFFERENT than ours. And this is one take. I’ve seen so many takes where Asian people of different nationalities are dismissed as non PoC when it does not serve the purpose of belittling whites. And frankly? That makes you racist. I baffles me how blind most of you are to your own bigotry. Calling a Black guy an Uncle Tom because he does not abide by YOUR version of how a black person should act? Racist. Calling an Asian person white? Racist. Belittling someone BASED ON RACE! Racist. Trying to change a culture by bullying them and shaming them? Xenophobic. 
The thing you all most cling to like the cultists you all are, is literally the same thing you are guilty of in the most frequent cases. None of you ACTUALLY care about Racism. None of you ACTUALLY care about Xenophobia. All you all actually care about is fitting in with all the other blind bigots, whom all pretend they give a damn. It’s a fucking cult. A cult YOU ARE ALL SO BLIND TO, you are literally doing the very thing you claim to be fighting. I’ve seen black men called “uncle tom” and “token” and “boot licker” by progressive whites for literally years. Or the few times I've seen asian people called “uncle chan” etc. How bling exactly do you have to be to become the very thing you hate. And how is it that you end up partaking in the very thing you claim to “fight against”. 
More over you don��t pick what is right and what is not. The majority does. Right and wrong are subjective. And until the majority changes their minds on what is right and wrong you don’t get a say. You only get a say in what YOU think is right and wrong. And understand, this bullshit has affected me personally. I have seen my friend Dre get called a bootlicker. And i’m not a violent person but Dre had to stop me from getting in those ignorant shits faces. Instead he got in their faces and told them to back the fuck up or he’d be the one they would deal with. Understand this. If a white person does not get to say what is racist and what is not racist to a black person, then you don’t get to tell me bootlicker is not racist. 
Also one last thing. If you see a black person ever. And assume they don’t have a father at home, don’t have a job, probably do drugs, or are disadvantaged.....you are literally just as racist as someone from the KKK, You just don’t realize it. It’s called the bigotry of low expectations. Meaning you literally envision a caricature of what you “Presume” is a person of a certain color, and then proceed to judge them on it. Guess what? That’s racist. And do you know what else is so funny to me. The fact that often times the people getting so mad at all these “bigots” against the progressive agenda are often white, lower middle class, and literally the definition of entitled. The same people that came up with Latinx. And mind you. I have some Hispanic and Latin American friends and they find that shit belittling as hell. Asian Americans that have never lived in china or japan, getting pissed off at a white person (because it’s always a white person with you people *because no one else is POSSIBLY able to appropriate a culture that’s not theirs*) for wearing something from an asian culture. Because the appreciate how it looks. Meanwhile Japanese and Chinese social media are happy to see their culture being spread around. More over in an era when their young people are turning to different cultures for their attire. 
The world is not black and white. It’s not even PoC and white. It’s bathed in shades of grey. We are all different people from different places with different cultures and different norms. Just how “All black people” is bigoted as hell so is “all white people”. Why? Because there are different shades of “white” people and different cultures of people whom are “white” everywhere. Sweden, Spain, Ireland, America, Iceland. Just like how none of these places have the same culture neither does all black people. African, Jamaican, Middle Eastern, Southern American, etc. If you are able to say “All white people” as a way to insult people with the wrong skin color you admit to being a xenophobe. Because it’s the same as saying “All black people”. And it’s the same as saying all black people are the same. But if you do that then you are agreeing with racists who think all of (Insert ethnicity here) are all rapists, thieves, gang members, felons, etc. Or are all from the same exact place. A black man from Jamaica is not the same as a black man from Seattle. A black man from Niger is not the same as one from Jordan. Just like a black man from the UK is not the same as one from the Middle East. 
This is your wake up call. This is me trying to open your eyes to racism and bigotry you all have been blind too for the last 7 + years.
