it’s pretty common for those with underlying racist views to discredit and not see the value of someone based on their race or color.
New memes and jokes often target white people through stereotypes, which is a literal form of racism by generalizing and demeaning an entire racial group. Common examples include:
The “Karen” meme, which stereotypes middle-aged white women as entitled, demanding, and often racist—frequently used to mock perceived white privilege.
Slurs-turned-memes like “mayo” (for mayonnaise-loving whites), “crackers”, or “flour rangers”/chalk babies, reducing white people to racial caricatures.
Jokes about white people not handling spicy food or awkward dancing in “white people be like” formats, reinforcing “bland” or clumsy stereotypes.
These rely on racial generalizations just like any other racist humor, creating “us vs. them” divides. If we’re against racism, it has to apply consistently…both ways
