"Reverse racism" is when minorities discriminate against white people. Simple? It's when they see COLOR when there isn't any, and when their self-entitlement (or righteous rage) gets the better of them.
"Reverse racism" can be ironic and hilarious sometimes. How about the show "Hamilton," which decides to turn white founding fathers into a bunch of black and brown rappers dancing around like idiots? Think a show about Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman could star a white man and woman? How about the proud way the show's author admitted that NO WHITES ARE ALLOWED in the show? And yet, if a revival of "Fiddler on the Roof" didn't have some blacks in the chorus, or a black guy playing Tevye..."Discrimination, y'all!"
Now here's today's amusing example of "reverse racism." It's a white woman who went nuts in a Trader Joe's. She was caught on camera NOT wearing a mask. Her excuse was she had a "breathing problem" and she ranted that she should be able to shop. Oh? Without distancing? Without worrying that she could get COVID, or, of she has COVID herself and doesn't know it, she could infect others?
Somehow, this became a RACIAL issue for some bird brains on Twitter.
One of the new favorite words in the English slanguage is "KAREN."
A "KAREN" is a WHITE WOMAN who is an ignorant racist. Yes, there are people like that. There are also blacks who give Asians and Latinos are hard time at the bodega. There are members of Boko Haram who give any black who isn't a MUSLIM a hard time or a cold edge of a knife. Racism exists all over the world. Chinese vs people from Tibet? Chinese vs Japanese? North Koreans vs South Koreans? Irish vs English? OK, we understand each other on that.
And yet, you can bet that TWITTER is not going to block or ban any of the RACIST (that's REVERSE RACIST) comments. Too many on Twitter used this example of ignorance and paranoia to focus on...COLOR. She's WHITE. She's showing WHITE PRIVILEGE.
As if there's never been a video on social media showing a "woman of color" making a fool of herself with some ignorant rant.
There are plenty of those, but if any comments pointed to her race, those comments would be removed and the user hit with a suspension. But it's ok to see "KAREN" to see "WHITE WOMAN" and "WOMAN OF PRIVILEGE" when this is more likely some trailer trash nutjob, the same kind who tell the world they don't wear a mask because Covid is a hoax.
Within an hour of laughing and jeering and racially cat-calling this white woman for "I HAVE A BREATHING PROBLEM" yet another hash tag term began to trend: KARENSGONEWILD.
Why? Because "reverse racism" is a lot of fun, and some people are ready to spend ALL DAY looking up examples of white women to jeer:
There's a song by some white woman -- oh, pardon me -- some WHITE BITCH -- with the title line, "IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY."
Well, NOTHING makes some people HAPPY as much as finger pointing, having a witch hunt, and feeling righteous rage while feeling sorry for themselves. As in NOBODY KNOWS THE TROUBLE I'VE SEEN, especially YOU, you KAREN, you white privilege BITCH. Don't you know that any problem you have can be made into a reverse-racist TWEET?
Somehow, even the dopey Kardashians haven't turned this story into: "This woman doesn't understand the REAL tragedy of the Aremenian genocide...and ps, I bet she doesn't have a black husband!"
Somehow, not a single Jew wrote: "This obviously GENTILE woman has no idea that the Jews have suffered for 2,000 years, and along the way, people have said "You've got a big nose, does it help you breathe?"
But all seriousness aside, racism and reverse racism are GOOD things sometimes, aren't they? It allows people to work out their anger. It's a release of steam. And if that doesn't work, try some violence. It's ALMOST a surprise that there wasn't a follow-up video of a few blacks smashing this woman's head flat, like they did to Reginald Denny. You remember him? Happened to be driving his truck during a riot so he was pulled out and nearly killed because he was white.
"This world is ruled by violence," sang Mr. Dylan, "but that's better left unsaid." PS, do we know she's white? She could be mixed race, not too far from a Mariah Carey or a Maya Rudolph. She oculd be Latina. But no, it's better to start making degrading and deprecatory remarks on race. People can't have enough fun just calling her a bitch? They did. And come to think of it, that too is wrong, isn't it? In our PC times? This could've been a MALE idiot swaggering around declaring a mask would put his nose out of joint.
