I loved the Sami wank on tumblr. Especially since an actual Sami reacted to it and said: "hey, please stop confusing us with the Inuit", after which hell broke loose again, and the Sami were now turned into white oppressors.

They are? Because I'm still seeing "Sami are oppressed not-white people". I don't know much about the argument or the Sami people so I mostly stay out of it.

But what you say sounds interesting. Mind telling me more?

You tricked me with the puppies. At first I was like "Puppies!" and then I got sad.

Wait... how is that what they got from what that Sami person said? She just said the Sami are white and people need to stop speaking for them/over them and they... I...

My head hurts.

Yes, exactly.

As far as I understand this insanity:

-Tumblr decides the Sami are the original Scandinavian Poc.
-Actual Sami find out about it, react, and ask to please use them as fodder in the argument, because they're wrongly representing their culture
-Sami is now accused of white privilege

Ladies and gentlemen, tumblr activists: shaming actual cultural minorities for not agreeing with their insanity.

That's just fucking depressing.

(Anonymous) 2014-02-13 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
It's because tumblr doesn't seem to grasp the concept that there are white minorities in this world.

And white people are all a monolith and have no culture.

And that white people can have distinct ethnic groups that can be heavily discriminated against.

Perfect example: Jewish people. Good lord are SJWs happy to shit all over them in order to preserve their POC = oppressed/white = oppressor ideaology.

It's as if most tumblr SJWs are American teenagers who have no fucking clue about the rest of the world.

...oh wait, that's exactly what it is.

And then you have all the people that rage about an Irish person in the 1860s being a PRIVELEGED! PERSON! Er, no, the Irish were pretty damn persecuted. Just because they're white doesn't mean they didn't have problems.

(Anonymous) 2014-02-13 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
It's almost like they don't want to hear about anything that doesn't line up with their view of the world. I'd say it's that they only want to talk to people that already know their lingo, but the Sami person actually does know the right words (privilege! cultural appropriation!) and they're still not getting through because they're not trying to start a fight.

(Also, I despise the "all I read was...." thing. There's always more to the opposing argument than the person using that acknowledges, in my experience.)

(Anonymous) 2014-02-13 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Oh man, this is pure gold. Next time I hear someone go "why does everyone complain about SJW's?" I'll pull this out.
