I went on Twitter today to find that the hashtag #YouMightBeARacist was trending.

I don't know about you guys but I think this is getting a little out of hand. Opinions on what exactly discrimination is, and how it should be dealt with are constantly being debated.
What do you guys think? Is all this online social justice stuff necessary? Does pointing out someone being racist make you less racist? If someone does something racist and nobody tweets about it did it ever happen at all?

You might be racist if you judge others based on race.

I'm not sure why there's a big debate about this at all.

Sounds like it is.

What do you guys think?

Sounds like it's getting outta hand.

Is all this online social justice stuff necessary?

Only when it doesn't get outta hand.

Does pointing out someone being racist make you less racist?

Not really.

If someone does something racist and nobody tweets about it did it ever happen at all?

Of course.

That's a dumb rhetorical question.

Online social networks have made people less social. Thanks for proving it once again.

Standing up for your brethren regardless of colour or creed makes you a loving person.
Playing the race card over and over again makes you a racist, unless your goal is to get rid of said race card. But even then people just go about eradicting racism by being racist. How does that help matters?

I AM NOT RACIST I AM WHITE THERE'S A DIFFERENCE

please overlook the fact that the irish were held as slaves as well from 1600-1800s and they were worth less per dollar value
seriously there was some massive class differences for everybody back then

QFT.

It's like those dipshits who were posting pictures of themselves holding signs saying "#BringBackOurGirls" on Twitter in response to Boko Haram kidnapping schoolgirls in Nigeria. I mean, I can kinda understand why a bunch of stupid kids were doing it, but I can't fathom how a grown adult can convince themselves that a meaningless post on Twitter could possibly sway a terrorist group into releasing hostages.

Hashtags don't change the world. Action does.

Every other article is "Why Lord of the Rings is racist", or "Why you are a racist without realizing it".

Cracked sucks now.

This is why I have never used and never will use social media. As soon as you open one of these websites in your web browser you can immediately feel your IQ start to plummet. It's like television.

"#YouMightBeRacist if you are White and you claim "I am not a racist."

I didn't know how racist I was until now. I have been enlightened.

smh, Zachary. You are literally Hitler. I bet you don't even feel guilty about being a slave owner.

smh again

Sounds like it's idiotically racist.

People are saying 'Steven Universe' is doing a splendid job with that.
