Shut the fuck up. Chances are you will never have to face issues related to abuse or racism (assuming you’re white) and because of that it will always be something you can “joke” about, because it will never seriously affect you. Maybe if you actually knew what it felt like to be secondary or othered because of your race, or if you were traumatized from domestic violence or knew someone who was, you’d know why this makes the people actually affected by that uncomfortable. This meme could trigger flashbacks and other trauma for an abuse victim and ruin their entire day, possibly their entire fucking week or even more, and they’d have to deal with that because some edgelord thought it would be a funny meme format.
Rao and Jackson believe white, liberal women are the most receptive audience because they are open to changing their behavior. They don’t bother with the 53% of white women who voted for Trump. White men, they feel, are similarly a lost cause. “White men are never going to change anything. If they were, they would have done it by now,” Jackson says.
She's right though. Why would I want to change anything? 🤣
And that doesn't even take into account the emotional labour involved in anti-racist education. Do you know how much strength it takes to stay professional when you're seeing the 23872nd white woman cry as she co-opts your oppression and makes it all about herself? Would you take on that shit for $20/hour?
Sweet Jesus, Coronavirus can't wipe out civilisation soon enough.

If you want even more gussy (trussy?) nonsense just look at Ghazi's take on that article.

Given Ghazi's demographics (queer and colored shut-ins) AIDS is a better bet.

It's insane how much wealthy Indian people have turned their various minor anxieties into a full blown money making grift.
