Correcting grammar is racist.

[Goosebump]

I suppose you can be racist against white people. But speaking as an american (US) it's kinda silly imo. 63% of the country is white. It's the "default" position. As white you get all the standard benefits and considerations.

Whites make up about 59% of those incarcerated, vs 38% of blacks who are only 13% of the population.

10% of whites are in poverty vs 27% of blacks in the US.

41% of whites have college degrees vs 22% of blacks.

The "default" position seems pretty good. So white racism, is what? Reminding white people how they have it better? Like the term "Honkey". Oh noes! A slur because what, white people have so many more opportunities and fewer pit falls?

*all stats were just quick googles.

I think good grammar tends to be an indicator of a good education, the goal should really be to improve the grammar of hispanic people and black people in America rather than force white people to accept a lesser standard of grammar.

Obviously I'm talking about large groups of people and trends just as the woman in the video is.  She's saying white people should care less about grammar I personally think people in general should care more about it including myself.  I'm not a big fan of grammar nazis on forums and chatrooms but I've learned a few things from them over the years and I think that's a good thing, I never felt like people were just trying to shut me up.

White racism would be treating someone worse just for being white, or advocating such treatment.

So in this example, saying it's racist if white people correct grammar but not if other people do it, is itself white racism. It's assuming an agenda on behalf of the white person without knowing any details.

Whether many people would make such a stupid statement in the first place, I don't know.

I really don't think it has anything to do with the level of education and personal vocabulary of the person and more to do with the person.

What justifiable correlation does grammar and race have to classify correcting grammar as racist o.O

Why would you think racism can only happen in America?  

In America what if you have a population where black people outnumber white people and a white person gets singled out and killed?

Also white people don't just get to not be incarcerated, they commit a lot less murder than black people but more than Asians.  They're incarcerated more than Asians but less than blacks as a result. They don't just get college degrees for the sake of being white, they perform better than black people, but not as good as Asians, which makes academic success more of an Asian privilage than a white benefit and consideration.

This isn't to say there's no racism involved in the prison or education system at all and that it doesn't exist but your post is claiming as a white person you "get" these things, like a get out of jail free card and a good education card.

Not sure if you mean to straw-man me or just read something between the lines that wasn't there. I live in the US so that's where my experience is, I think it would be disingenuous of me to talk about Uzbekistan because I don't live there even though I can google numbers about it.

If you read my post you'll see I never claimed any of those things. I also never said what race I was so not sure what your on about with that. 

Again, if your just straw-manning me, ok. If you've genuinely miss read it I hope I've cleared some of that up.

Honkey and cracker are offensive terms. If someone walked up to me and called me it, there would be consequences for it. Simple as.

It's a little bit different here in the UK than the US. Ethnic "minorities" are more likely to get into universities and white kids are less likely to get their GCSEs. Even the SJWs favourite paper, the Guardian admits that.

In areas such as London, Birmingham and some parts of Glasgow, racism against whites is rife. A few years back a white kid was attacked in Glasgow simply for being white.

He was kidnapped, tortured, beaten and set on fire while he was still alive. Despite the convicted Pakistani gang admitting it was a racially motivated crime, the judge didn't rectify the sentence until there was a massive outcry over the unfairness of it all. If four white males had set a Pakistani kid on fire, you'd have everyone talking about how racist it was.

White girls are groomed by Pakistani gangs, sexually and physically assaulted because of their skin colour. The list goes on and on and on.

But guess what? It's barely reported in the news.


So please, stop your white guilt and white privilege shit. It's pure fantasy.

You did say racism against white people is kind of silly.  White people live all over the world your statistics only took into consideration America.
It's like if I live in a part of Africa where rich black people live and say racism against black people is pretty silly, speaking as a person who lives around rich black people, they have it great.

Also just to add again those statistics don't necessarily prove anything about racism, incarceration rates and education rates among Asians is better in America also and they're none white but commit less crimes, place a higher importance on Education and have higher IQ scores. Especially Chinese, Korean and Japanese Asians.

And look at South Africa. White farmers are killed because of their skin colour. A corrupt, black majority government does nothing about it because they are just as racist as the attackers.

So much for the rainbow nation.
