A Chinese person calling out white American SJWs talking over non-whites in many of those

She gets called white a lot for not buying into the US-centric white vs POC bull

[ketita]

Yeah, as someone who is neither USAmerican nor European (and whose major is East Asia), it's outright /amazing/ how US-centric most of the tumblr social justice is. Like they do not even understand that there is a world out there with different cultures where things might be DIFFERENT

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, a lot of the original academics and activists who first came up with the language of SJ (terms like "white privilege" and such) were speaking in a very American context, like talking largely about blacks in America. But with the internet everything's gone global, but the conversation is still rooted in the work of these American academics who were really only talking about the US.

I think people give that sort of rhetoric way too much credit without looking at where it came from and what it was for in the first place.

//Nod
I'm not even saying that the discourse on race/privilege is useless- it has its uses, even though I personally hate post-modernism and post-colonialism even more (seriously, I am convinced that in hell people are forced to read post-colonial papers forever).
Bit the big fallacy of many social sciences is acting like America is the default and everybody else is a case study.

The vast majority of the US really don't understand that there's a world beyond its borders. Between narrow and terrible education on history and geography, only a third of the population owning a passport, and the habit of treating those from other countries like they're exhibits in a zoo (know this from firsthand experience: "Awww, your accent!" "I've never heard of your country, is it near England?"), it's one of those laughable stereotypes that are actually true.

[ketita]

Yeah... I lived in the US for a year and at the end people just COULD NOT BELIEVE I was going home and leaving precious America.
It's just so annoying on tumblr which *is* an international space, but you get screamed at for not toeing the party line.

If you don't mind me asking, where are you from? Got me curious :)

[(Anonymous)]

That's not true of the 'vast majority' of the United States. Don't be an ass.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, not all of it.

Just the bit in between New York City and maybe a couple of LA suburbs.

[(Anonymous)]

you realize that California and the Northeast is like 90 million people right there, right

Americans' fragile egos nevercease to amaze me
