You’re embarrassing yourself, and your cause. Stop that shit.

While liberal / leftist organizations do not embrace / exploit explicitly racist or cryptoracist political talking points, that does not mean that they cannot commit racist deeds, say racist things, or throw racist parties. It’s come to my attention that Rubalad, the organization throwing this insanely racist Orientalist party, is actually a group of corporate resisters / Occupiers.

Let me be all-caps clear: FIGHTING CORPORATE GREED DOES NOT EXCUSE THIS SORT OF BEHAVIOR. In fact, it only exacerbates the egregiousness of the offense. You are, by your own estimation, fighting for a better world. But that better world includes cultural appropriation, racist stereotypes, and silencing people of color who speak up against it. You are against corporate exploitation, but are more than willing to exploit harmful stereotypes for profit, in the name of a good time. In short, you have a giant fucking blind spot called white privilege, and if you truly want to make the world a better place, you need to start listening to (instead of silencing!) people of color and other marginalized people, educating yourself about your privilege, and learning about this country’s history of racist violence and exploitation. Also, stop throwing bullshit ass parties like this.
