I've seen a friend being berated for being a traitor to her race just cause her opinion didn't fit the racism mould of some white girl that had never even had to fucking deal with that problem.

I'm Latina and I've always felt very strongly about ethnic stereotyping, discrimination, and racism (other issues as well, of course, but these are more personal-- particularly as I lived in a relatively white neighborhood for most of my youth and faced my share of each). I've been doing activist work since my pre-teen years, so OBVIOUSLY this is something I feel strongly about.

And yet, SJWs give me the chills. I can't even count the number of times I've been berated (that's putting it nicely, by the way) for being too lenient (which is hilarious considering everyone I know, including other activists, think I'm strict), or not caring enough, or not knowing what I'm talking about, etc, and most of the time the rage is coming from white people (no offense, of course) who have never experienced even half of what they're screaming about.

Sometimes a spade is just a spade. In the real world you can't get away with treating everyone like an enemy and screaming at everyone. They do this shit because they have their anonymity to hide behind.

I'm all for social justice and calling out on racist/misogynist/sexist/other-ist shit, but some people take it too far. And by taking it too far I mean lashing out and attacking everyone and everything that doesn't measure up to your particular standards.
