    To be fair if you look at the majority of news these days, everything’s blamed on white men specifically, which is both sexist and racist.

    But no one complains about that yeah?

      Weird, because I just went to CNN, MSNBC and Fox’s front page and I don’t see anything on any of them that blame white men collectively for anything. Can you show me one of today’s stories that do that? There should be far more than one if it’s the majority as you say.

      I complain about it because its both reductive and counterproductive. But I don’t think the majority of anything actually complains about that. It is usually a vocal minority of people chirping online or in safe spaces they feel they can vent and be hyperbolic.

        Well my comment was with heavy hyperbole simply to point out an obvious bias, not to disprove your point.

        Imo, I agree blatant racism is on the rise. I assume it has to do with people being terminally online these days, and websites like Twitter no longer censoring any flavor of racism.

        Allows for the vocal minority to appear as a vocal majority, because the majority are actually busy with their lives.

      if they’re all specific instances then it’s not racist or sexist b/c those require sweeping generalizations
