Stuff White People Like: "Being Offended"
"It is also valuable to know that
white people spend a significant portion of their time preparing for the moment when they will be offended. They read
magazines, books, and watch documentaries all in hopes that one day they will encounter a person who will say something
offensive. When this happens, they can leap into action with quotes, statistics, and historical examples. … All of which
do an excellent job of raising awareness among white people who hope to change their status from 'not racist' to 'super not
racist.'
"Another thing worth noting is that the threshold for being offended is a very important tool for judging and ranking white
people. Missing an opportunity to be outraged is like missing a reference to Derrida - it’s social death."
