    The only other one I’m aware of was the fuck skiing post. Which yeah I agree was a little weirder, but for reasons that goes beyond the basic sentiment of “fuck white people.” Complaining about white people on this site has been common since day 1 and I don’t think it should be considered controversial to complain about white people, even coming from other white people. White people should of course recognize their own complicity in the racial hierarchy, I don’t believe that precludes them from complaining about white people, especially when it’s a valid criticism. The complaint about how white people react to homeless people is valid, the complaint about skiing maybe not so much - but that’s a difference that has nothing to do with the basic sentiment of fuck white people.
