I can understand the practical realities of moderation in an anonymous online space in which such sentiments can quickly escalate to a personal level.

But we really need to kill racial ideology. I don’t think we should be that uppity about it.

We SHOULD be racist against “White people”!

Because it doesn’t exist in real life!

Why are we treating a colonial stratification of peoples into “races” and “ethnicities” at face value? Why are we offended like there is a global White genocide?

People in the global south don’t need white guilt. They don’t need self-flagellating whites on one hand and white supremacists on the other. They need “white people” to help tear down this globe-spanning economic and ideological system of stratification that has caused so much pain and suffering.

The hatred of white people is a hatred of this racist system of Capitalism that forcefully and continuously suffocates the entire world.

Mental colonization runs deep in postcolonial societies - and when the colonized lashes out, it is an expression of the humanity that has been denied. The least of my problems is when the oppressed uses the oppressor’s language to demonstrate the false justifications of the oppressor’s existence.

To phrase this another way to make it really on the nose: there are 1.5 billion Global Northerners, while there are 6.5 billion Global Southerners, and since might makes right, “white people” should really be the ones oppressed (lol).

It's a shame they're trying to turn "orc" into a slur. We have a more diverse world of fantasy beyond Tolkein these days. Orcs can and should be cool! There's plenty of stories that have built the "orc" concept into a proud culture and heritage, and even beyond that, the "noble humans conquering the primitive/cruel orcs" trope is a paper-thin metaphor for western culture being imposed on an indigenous, or at least foreign, population that didn't ask for it.

I'd love to see the targets of the slur try to capture and use it for their own consumption. (Compare the rehabilitation of "Queer"). Let's see some nifty fanart of orcs riding around in tanks. Hell, the Warhammer 40K crowd has already done most of the work!
