Edit: any explanation for the downvote? Maybe the list was overkill, but I was responding to someone who accused another of being 'disingenuous, ignorant, or lazy', then presented very weak evidence for a claim that was supposed to be so obvious that questioning it justified those insults. (Basically no evidence at all, since it had nothing to do with New Zealand, the country which this discussion was specifically about)
Original:
When I looked at the top 20 results, they didn't back up your point very well. (I didn't do any cherrypicking -- I don't know what the 21st result was. If I wanted to be sneaky I would have only presented the first 10.)
I counted four people actually making that claim (one of whom qualified it with 'sometimes', but generalised it with 'all'). None of the four seemed to be from New Zealand.
The rest were mostly complaints about other people who supposedly think or say white people are evil. Some were definitely right-wing extremists.
The full list was:
- 'sometimes all white people are evil'
- complaint about white people being blamed for things and called evil
- anti-semite complaining about a Jewish man calling himself white
- someone saying "not all white people are evil, judge people by their character not their skin color"
- white supremacist
- person complaining about white people being called evil
- 'There’s still evil white people in the world, and we all know about the history between us and them, but y’all need to stop acting like EVERY white person is evil bruh. The people that do are a part of the problem too.'
- 'While Candace Owens can't believe this she is letting white conservatives at #CPAC believe this is true. This emboldens their view that the real victim of racism in America is white people. These words by Owens are beyond irresponsible-they are truly evil. '
- someone disagreeing with the view that 'Hitler is only considered to be evil because he killed white people'
- anti-semite
- person complaining about 'assholes ranting about how white people are evil'
- description of Jordan Peele's movie as 'the white people are evil movie'
- person saying it unironically
- person saying it unironically
- person complainiing about people who think that Democrats 'hate "white" people'
- complaint about people who say white people are evil
- ALL CAPS POST COMPLAINING ABOUT RACISM AGAINST WHITES
- 'These fucks here and people like these give white people a horrible rep. Can’t generalize a whole race like that tho.'
- person saying it unironically
- ' seeing conventionally attractive white people having excuses made for their evil actions is irritating AF'
- RandomInteger4 8y agoThe point wasn't to say that the percentage of X posts to Y posts was Z%. The point was to say that these posts and sentiments exist and here is a way to find some almost guaranteed with one simple search; i.e. it's not hard to find this sentiment around the internet. If you've lived at any point in a social circle that involved wholeness you will see this sentiment displayed and defended. The whole idea of racism in critical theory is a defense of racism against white people by saying that it's not actually racism, which is a dog whistle, as they put it, to those outside of academia, giving them the go ahead to express such racist sentiments in the colloquial sense. I'm saying all of this as a liberal who is against hatred and bigotry of any form, and as someone who at one point used to echo such white woke SJW sentiments without realizing that I was trying to find acceptance among my woke friends. I know what these circles are like; you almost certainly are being dishonest if you travel in these circles and say you haven't heard these sentiments.

- RandomInteger4 8y agoWhat does new zealand have to do with my addressing the parent comment to my original comment? My point was directly relevant to that comment and it's sad that someone flagged it.
