I am getting tired of the social justice brigade on tumblr.

I was having an argument with this one poster on the topic of Native Americans and US immigration reform. According to her, all white people should go back to where ever they came from because they are illegal immigrants. To which, I replied that this country isn't just a white country (Never was) and what about the rest of the immigrant groups who have come and settled here, taking lands that weren't originally theirs either. (NYC Chinatown sits on Wappinger land after all.) Should they give it back as well? I got called racist for that. But to me, that just said she didn't know what she was talking about.

But I am tired how it's always the "white man" who who is illegal and should go home. I think it's because I come from a very mix city with a high fresh off the plane Central African and Korean population. I found it odd that it's the whites that would be pushed out of their homes, many of which who have been here for generations, while everyone else gets to stay.

Most of the time when I've seen the illegal immigrants argument, it's used by Native Americans to shut up people being extreme assholes about immigrants. I've never seen anyone argue it as a legitimate thing. o.O;

Someone posted a video here a while back of a Native American yelling at some white people that they were illegal immigrants. The poster seemed to think it was a legitimate argument and the whole thread was a mess of WTFuckery with people on all sides.

I can't decide if I'm happy or sad I missed that. The wank and WTFery might have been amusing, but it might have also made me lose a bit more faith in humanity.

I try to console myself that a lot of people on Tumblr are just very young.

And even though it's infuriating and it waters down the currency of debates in a way that sometimes seems akin to the antibiotic resistance problem, they could be using their free time to call each other fat and gay.

In time, they'll hopefully learn nuance and be a force for good in the world. Some of them at least. Hopefully.
