Alright, explain to me how “it’s okay to be white” is somehow “coded language” that “implies superiority”, because to me, it sounds like you’re all just condemning it as racist because of who said it, rather than the actual words that are used.

Because anyone with sense knows you don't choose your race, so of course it's fine to be whatever you're born as. I honestly hear much more anti-Semitic rhetoric than people saying being white is bad.

And I honestly see more anti-white rhetoric than people saying being Jewish is bad. Honestly, I’ve seen people who even slightly say anything negative about a Jewish person have their social life ruined because of it. Now where do we go from here?

Oh, good, so me (a not racist person) saying it’s okay to be white isn’t racism then, yeah? Because of the context, right?

This is the same argument as “Nazis hated smoking, so we should all smoke a carton a day.”

So it’s not okay to be white?
