"I am really tired of white women's tears." This is a plainly racist comment.
It's not possible to be racist to white people. It's not racist by definition.

#52A lot of drama here that seems to spill out into real life. Two opposing sides. But, they're largely on the same side it seems like. One seems to have made a mistake in submitting her article unknowingly to a blog that doesn't accept articles from white women, and the other wasn't happy about this or the tone from the first person.

I am still pretty aghast that the liberal side thinks that is acceptable without irony.

#53I don't mean this as a joke, but I'm actually rather hesitant to express any thoughts on this after reading it. I'll just leave it at that.
I can only think of few more radioactive topics and just like in WarGames: The only winning move is not to play.
EDIT: A more nuanced answer less prone to misinterpretation: I don't think there's a clear good answer w.r.t the topic at hand because no matter how you answer, even the most well-meaning and best-argumented answer would be, well, prone to misinterpretation.

#54Is Senji Sojwal a pseudonym? I can’t seem to find that this is a real person. When searching for “Senji Sojwal” in a search engine, this article is the only result returned.
It was misspelt in the article. If you clicked through to the Twitter thread you'll see that her name is Senti, not Senji.

Individual racism is far different from systemic and systematic racism.
A Brahmin Indian immigrant like Sojwal is a pretty good contender for least-oppressed group in America. Top of the charts in income by ethnicity, college admissions, low crime rates.
White people falling far behind east asians in practically every measurement shows what a crock of crap "systemic racism" is.

Hence the need to think in more than a 1 dimensional description of the entire political landscape.

#58I feel like I'm so burnt out from reading about conflict. I can't even comment on who is right or wrong...it feels like such an overinflated digital age argument.
> digital age argument
There is something about the lack of personal connection that leads to extremes in the digital environment. I have a feeling that if these people had met over coffee to discuss her story it would have been a non-issue. Instead, disagreements and mistakes blow up, because once an audience is involved it's very hard for either side to back down.
Sometimes it's a challenge, but I always think 'is this how I would act if this person was sitting in front of me'.
