Heh, you must have only dipped a pinky toe into the internet if you think that's the most racist thing on it.

I walk around naked. I was going with just large hoop earrings but found out that may constitute "cultural appropriation".

There are two kind of people who would even look up "White People" on Urban Dictionary.

Those who want to offend and those who want to be offended.

Identitarian politics and culture need to die.

If you get upset because a bunch of idiots are insulting your *group,* you're basically violating the "don't feed the trolls" rule. I am not a part of some monolithic group, so I simply don't care.

Yes, it's racist, yes, it's really dumb, yes, it's entirely hypocritical, and you're free to think or call it all of those things. But after that, move on, do more important things, interact with more intelligent ideas, and don't feed the identitarian trolls.

^That is, as long as there's no attempt to try and gain undue *authority.*

Often people are just trying to be funny, but it's generally a good resource for meanings of cultural phrases you won't find in Webster's or Oxfords.

In this case, the definitions are full of hateful bigoted vitriol against white people. It's not surprising that someone would post such things, what is sad is all the up votes and lack of down votes. It just goes to show you the levels of self-hatred in our society today and how social justice warriors look down upon themselves
It's a comedy website. I could understand finding it offensive, but there's about a 70% chance everything on there was made by trolls rather than people who actually have those opinions.

I think it's funny, personally.

My favorite entry is of a phrase made famous by Todd Akin known as "legitimate rape:"

http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...egitimate+Rape

I like entry #2 best.

They're pretty hard on black people too...not that I see why that should comfort anyone. I've never really understood the whole "if you insult everyone instead of one group, it's okay" mentality....

just please, please, please nobody get that website taken down.

Mexican and Asian people got off easy, as did the Native Americans, but their entries are still amusing IMO.

Looks like some blacks hate white people. Not all. Some blacks like white people and do not follow the mantra of the left. The left is always pointing to black people's skin and getting blacks to think they are a victim of their skin color. This is the highest form of racism coming from the left.

Yeah, there's a lot of wild crap period on Urban Dictionary and not something to be taken as a serious source on racism. I mean, I sure hope some of the sex acts on there are just made up as a joke because otherwise eeeeeek. (Not a prude, talking about the really out there stuff...but I guess each to their own as long as it's not harming other people, eh?
