It obscures a lot of historically oppressed peoples such as the Irish in the early 20th century US and the Jews always and everywhere. A fact which seems to run counter to the entire purpose of this project.</strong></p> </div> </blockquote> <p>Academically, no. Racism, as a social concept, requires two things - the ability to oppress the ‘receiver’ and the social power that comes with being part of the oppressor-group. Or, to put it simply, “Power+Privilege=Racism”.</p> <p>It is functionally impossible to be racist against white people in the Western cultural milieu. This is due to any racially charged intent on oppression being unenforceable - society at large is not going to permit or allow engagement in wholesale discounting of white people and their contributions because they are the dominant racial class.</p> </div> </blockquote> <p>Yo, if you still don’t understand why “racism against white people” isn’t a thing, read the above comments. How the dictionary defines racism as a term is much less important than what it means historically and conceptually. The word ya’ll are looking for is “discrimination” and even that needs to be employed with care.</p>http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/49188070230http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/49188070230Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:26:00 -0400taking a short break from girls in veils for this important PSAyour normal goth programming will return shortly<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md0rsq0jfj1rv2dfko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48864919859http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48864919859Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:07:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbqt4bBkPU1rw8zrlo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48859884288http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48859884288Thu, 25 Apr 2013 12:31:20 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/afb86a406b077f4ec4671d4e35988300/tumblr_mlof7mX2xy1rcn3dyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48776289000http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48776289000Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:01:21 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8b20fpBCQ1qam77jo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48776111227http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48776111227Wed, 24 Apr 2013 10:57:43 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/06f0faac429d0df5f45eb46a7c9aa847/tumblr_mlj0fpl6pD1rvfns3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48724535443http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48724535443Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:30:26 -0400holy shit the faris badwan tag is full of 13 year old psychoschill out dudes<p><a href="http://schadenfraulein.tumblr.com/"><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/avatar_5704c382db6a_40.png"/></a><strong><a class="tumblelog" href="http://schadenfraulein.tumblr.com/">schadenfraulein</a></strong> replied to your <strong><a href="http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48696646090">photo</a></strong>: <em><strong><a href="http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48696646090">My hair’s been through a lot in the last five days</a></strong></em></p> <blockquote>I like the blonde but that could be because it reminds me of Tilda Swinton’s hair</blockquote> <p>Sadly it was more like Transformer-era Lou Reed irl</p>http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48698637102http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48698637102Tue, 23 Apr 2013 12:02:36 -0400schadenfraulein<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/61b80744ba223dd5405e525254126f0d/tumblr_mlps1hHtLR1qze3dso1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f8ebbcc85e7aef0f223b93058d9f86a8/tumblr_mlps1hHtLR1qze3dso2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/64725b680371366d459c01cfb223bff9/tumblr_mlps1hHtLR1qze3dso3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/bbff6615e82f5c41e8a3121f40eb94a8/tumblr_mlps1hHtLR1qze3dso4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>My hair’s been through a lot in the last five days</p>http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48696646090http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48696646090Tue, 23 Apr 2013 11:22:00 -0400i learned a valuable lesson which that i only look good with black hairnever again<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_maozflvVds1qbrc7uo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48671156305http://thetowerofbabel.tumblr.com/post/48671156305Tue, 23 Apr 2013 00:01:25 -0400<p>No, I hardly ever smoke pot.
