These tumblr people claim they are oppressed and they are victims of systematic racism when the countries they live in are developed enough to have sustainable governments that follow the declaration of human rights, and therefore are not being oppressed in any way. Knowing that their claims of oppression and racism are rooted outside of reality, they focus on microagressions and twist things revolving race and ethnicity to their benefit. They make claims of cultural appropriation, owning music genres and hairstyles and make themselves out to be the victim in every situation (because people are more likely to side with the "victim" than the "aggressor"). And if you dont agree with what they stand for, then youre apart of the problem (e.g. if a black guy doesnt agree with claims of systematic oppression, he is regarded as an uncle tom or race-traitor).
These people love to go outside of the norm. They hate the majority and try to distance themselves as much as possible which explains why straight, male, white, and sometimes neurotypical people are hated with a passion. They also have twisted the definition of racism to work in their favor so that their hatred of white people isnt frowned upon and is justified. In conclusion, tumblr is racist because of the victim complex that has formed there. Even though they are blatantly racist, their lack of self awareness and constant need to be the victim keeps them from seeing the errors in their philosophy

Tumblr is full of Blacks/POC these days and a lot of them just spread hate and racist comments as they please. It is a becoming such a hateful website. I am a minority and I refuse to visit such ugly place.

They're extra, but how is this racist. I think it's more along the lines of how white people don't even have to be that cute, and can be basic as **** and be a celebrity. Yet POC have to literally be 10/10 to get anywhere. Instead of being rude and extra they could've just said why are a bunch of basics being compared or something lol

This, tbh.
They are pointing out the celebration of mediocrity that people of color do not receive.
And yes, it is laughable.

There's examples in every group. I was answering why tumblr is racist towards white people since the examples given in the OP were directed at white people. But I agree, a lot of white people on tumblr have "turned" against their race making fun of white people despite being white which is very sad.
And i would have to disagree that most things on tumblr are done by white people. In my experience on tumblr, Ive seen more black blogs spewing racist comments than ive seen white blogs. But thats only from what ive seen so from your point of view, you may see a lot more white blogs doing stupid stuff than i do. Most of the stupid stuff i see from white people revolve around otherkin and imaginary sexual identities

Reverse racism doesn't exist, but it's still wrong to say those words.

Instead of dismissing what i said, why not take the time to dissect it and tell us whats wrong? But then again what i said probably doesnt fit your narrative

its not needed and it kind of is where racism stems from, i think social justice warriors have caused more people to become racist rather than racists turned non-racists...
it's much like when you realize your sexuality, you can't just not be gay/lesbian/straight anymore. it's the same like that, if you're racist a post saying "all white people are racist" is not going to make you think "oh golly, im a racist. i just had an epiphany lemme fix my life." no it doesn't work like that lol.

sorry but if this was about racial slurs about a black person it would be completely different...
i think that the way to cause people to switch their racist thoughts or stereotyping is by educating, which a lot of SJWs do perform, so don't get me wrong. but i feel most of them are not even passionate about what theyr'e speaking about and get the kicks out of spamming "white cis straight scum" on tumblr without even knowing why they're doing it.
you do not fight fire with fire

Cultural appropriation is real. No one's culture should be worn as a costume on halloween. No one's culture should be celebrated when a white person wears it and called ~trendy but looked down upon when the original person wears it. Same thing with hairstyles. Black girls are called "ghetto" for their braids, yet white girls began trying to wear box braids and are seen as ~cool and ~edgy. They have every right to be mad at these differences, and the fact of the matter is that they did own those hairstyles, and it was made specifically for their hair texture. I don't understand how you can even imply systematic racism isn't real - when POC might not get a job because of their skin color, or even their name alone says it all. Like I said in my previous comment, of course people who have to work twice as hard as white people, would eventually get fed up and now that the dish is finally being served people like you can't handle it lol
