A 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.
- darth_avocado 6y agoThis entire situation is so absurd. Two people who are equally rude are offended by each other and then air their grievances on Social media to gain sympathy and blow this out of proportion. And everyone around them is trying to distance themselves from the blowout inadvertently creating an even bigger blowout. It's almost as if people forget that there's consequences of everything you do, especially on the internet.
- Diggsey 6y ago> But, they're largely on the same side There's no such thing for the people who buy into this kind of identity politics. Any difference in views, no matter how small is irreconcilable. No leeway is allowed. The best option for any reasonable person is to keep quiet, stay as far away from these hypocrites as possible and hope that when they inevitably self-destruct, none of the fallout lands on you.
- loopz 6y agoSuch bullying and racism need to be called out. Calling it politics is wrong.
- hn_throwaway_99 6y ago> made a mistake in submitting her article unknowingly to a blog that doesn't accept articles from white women I am still pretty aghast that the liberal side thinks that is acceptable without irony.
- zamadatix 6y agoHence the need to think in more than a 1 dimensional description of the entire political landscape.
- nacs 6y agoBecause the "doesn't accept articles from white women" is just a clickbait statement -- the group she posted to is "Asian American Writers Workshop". It's not "anti-white" -- its just an Asian targetted group.
- BryceOnRice 6y agoNow make a "White Writers Workshop" and see how long that lasts. The issue isn't this workshop being anti-White, it's the entirety of Western culture.

- notsuoh 6y agoThanks, sorry to feed the troll. Would you delete my comment to the troll below please.
- leephillips 6y agoExcept if you read even the beginning of the article you learn that she was accepting submissions from black people as well. In other words, anti-white, or, at least, white-exclusionary. What everyone used to call “racist”.
