People on ATRL only think something is wrong if it's white people doing it to someone else

Racism, or any kind of discrimination, is wrong, no debate about it. But within our society, certain things are still more accepted than others, even if they are all wrong. You would be called out, and rightly so, if you said anything remotely offensive/generalizing/stereotyping about black people. But you would get less pitchfork from people for being racist/hateful towards Jews/Asians/transgenders, even if they admit that it's just as wrong.
Make a joke out of Jewish thriftiness = cool, witty joke. Make fun of Asian nerdiness/penis size = amusing, but hey. Saying black people are better athletes = OMG ****ING RACIST ARREST HIM.
This is why I'm very skeptical of all this social justice wagon. It doesn't stem from the basic kindness everyone should have, but from the tides and currents of the time. People will jump on whatever is passing through.

this! The fact that admiring/ being inspired by another culture is seen more "problematic"" (this seems to be their favourite word) than comparing yourself to an anti-Semitic dictator who killed 6 million innocent people.

Um... we need to get facts straight first.
Why do people think anti-Semitism = anti-Jew?
Not all Semites are Jews. Arabs and Assyrians are Semitic people too...
Not all Jews are Semites. European Jews are not...

Antisemitism is such a stupid ****ing word. Arabs are semites. Millions of Jews are European, not semetic.
Anyway, it's not okay to be anti-Jewish and most people aren't defending Nicki for being anti-Jewish, but just because she's their fave and they don't want people to drag her. However they should drag her, because that video is just... wrong.
I know hip hop can be extreme, but this was just a bad idea.

Because people feel that Jews are more protected by the 'system' than Blacks are, and when you look at the stats it's hard to disagree with them. Therefore, they will not be as hard on antisemitism as they are on racism against blacks because society's elite already makes a lot of noise about antisemitism, especially here in Europe, where as black racism is done against people who are among the poorest and most mistreated by society and who are not as defended by the elite as the Jews are. Not to mention racism against black is sometimes swept under the carpet. Therefore, people feel they have to stand up more for a community that as of today is far more victim of what you could call institutionalized discrimination.
tl;dr : If blacks were as integrated into the upper classes of society as jews or whites are, people wouldn't feel such need to defend them whenever the opportunity arises. It kind of serves as a 'let's make ourselves feels good for defending them against even the most basic thing since society as a whole treats them so badly'.

I agree OP. Stans can be so delusion. SIX MILLION Jews died during the holocaust, and they think that video is okay?!
