This Is My Shocked Face
Attention, citizens. A hate crime has been detected at Salisbury University:
The image, found April 10 on a whiteboard in Blackwell Library, showed a stick figure being hanged and labelled with a racial slur. Underneath was the hashtag “#whitepower.”
After much wailing and fretting, and declarations of being “passionate about diversity and inclusion,” and after the involvement of police and the Wicomico County State’s Attorney’s Office, the white supremacist culprits have now been apprehended:
The university confirmed Tuesday, April 26, that the students involved in the incident were black.
Why, it’s almost as if fabricating racial animus were fashionable on campus. And of course beyond.
Do you mind if I start using it?
Oh, I’m pretty sure I first heard it somewhere else.

I have yet to a single example of a mixed race individual identifying as white.
There must be some who do.
It’s called “passing”. In any case, it was pretty much white people who established the “one-drop” rule, and considered all mixed-bloods not white. In a predominantly white society, any non-whiteness becomes a distinction – to be disclaimed, or embraced, or endured. I’m not sure how, in the context of American history, a visible quadroon, say, could “identify as white” without raising eyebrows, regardless of how the person himself felt. And in predominantly white societies, people don’t generally “identify as white” in a positive way. White is the default, and doesn’t need to be stated.
In the colonial era, people with even a trace of white ancestry often identified with it; in a non-white milieu it could be a distinction. In Kipling’s short story “His Chance in Life”, an Indian telegraph clerk with a trace of Portuguese ancestry thinks of himself as white, and in a moment of crisis assumes the mantle of a “sahib” to put down a riot.
‘Miss Bingo Wings’
My apologies for revisiting this train wreck, but Trigglypuff, as she has become known, has become a meme.
The first is interesting as we learn from her own words she is both empathetic, and loves intellectual conversations. You have to read the rest to get what a scatter-brained, buzz word bingo, self-stereotype of a leftist she has made herself.

That would explain the barrage of screeched fuck yous and the agitated arm-flapping. “Social justice” devotees do seem awfully keen to publicly and repeatedly define themselves, thereby letting us know how pious and superior they are.

Somewhat related.

Speaking of which, if you flip through the memes, she says she prefers cis-man, but wants to try girls (her word), but also describes herself as “queer”.
I am thinking amongst these types, aside from giving oneself victim status, declaring oneself “queer” has become something of a fashion statement.
. . . she says she prefers cis-man, but wants to try girls . . .
Ehn, a nice lemon pepper sauce, mebbe something with garlic . . . ?
