That's a really good point. There a was documentary I watched on youtube that delved pretty far into this topic.

As far as tumblr blogs targeting white people this one is pretty innocuous.

Read a bunch of these, kind of feel the same way. I'm sure some are real, but most of them seem pretty staged.

Talk to me via PM if you want. You're notorious for being argumentative, confrontational, and uncivil, so I'm not going to placate you in a public forum.

Straight white boys texting is the only variation of this ("thirsty gender / race texts someone who don't want it") because it's a constantly-evolving spectrum. Everything else is either too tame, too civilized or too barbaric or too quick to send dick pics. I really doubt it's actually a race thing in tumblr's sense of "BURN, CISHET SCUM" like you'd normally expect.

So you're upset about comedy being treated as hate speech? Don't drop statements and refuse to back them up.

I'm white, and I fully endorse this kind of humor.

It takes a lot of reaching to compare that to this.
That's every blog that purports to have text message conversations, ever.
(I cringe at those parent-kid autocorrect fail ones.)

Well not really.
Then I pointed to a very recent very public case of a group trying to censor a comedian because of what they perceived to be hate speech.
Not much reaching at all really.

Laughing at you isn't "getting trolled."
You mean like practice?

You didn't go all the way back to how he's upset about the double standard.
It's weird to compare people outing (or making up) lame white dudes texting about their dick to an Asian woman being tired of ching chong references on TV.
Had to ask GAF for approval first.
We say it all the time
in Dota when stealing last hits from a support.
not even a smile. I wonder about the source of the gif, actually.
Would it be okay if it was a woman doing it to a man???
And it's totally OK to make fun of straight, white males because privilege, right?
To be clear, this was intended as sarcasm.
I guess only if the expected reception was a positive one.

Are dudes sending dick pics and bad innuendos really the hill you want to die on?

People don't like being generalized? Truly shocking and surprising news.
Pretty much, yeah!

This is why not taking yourself seriously is considered a virtue. I can understand being upset about this, but it's disappointing that to some it's more about hurt feelings over lame white people jokes rather than the content of the messages.
I also assumed this was white people making fun of what other white people do, but are others seeing it differently? Is that where the confusion and anger is coming from?

I'm seeing that white people should self-loathe because privilege. Also, that site is incredibly fake.

It is. But I'm seeing "white people on Tinder, stop doing this, it's a stereotype now." These silly lines and dick pics don't generally work anyway, so I don't see why I should get heated about it.

Oh you white people, I am so glad you exist. It's nice to have a group of people you are allowed to put down without any negative social backlash.
there have been a few threads popping up lately that are basically White-Men-Shaming. Now I'm not a MRA or anything, but it's getting a little out of hand. Pretty sure GAF is proof that white guys are not the only ones sending out dick pics and such.

This too...
It is common for white guys to talk about their mutual lust for dick with eachother. I can't have a text with a white friend that doesn't have some sort of homoerotic tone to it.
I don't know if it's white people making fun of white people (and I don't think it matters). I kind of see it more like "here's a bunch of guys being assholes, we'll tag it with a particular angle because it makes for a catchy tumblr".
Having said that, as a straight white man, I'm not quite sure why I'd be offended by this. It's just a tumblr, for god's sake. Does anyone actually think all straight white men talk like this? Of course not (unless they're idiots).
Straight white men don't need to be defended, and god knows the idiots on this tumblr don't deserve any defense.
On the other hand, I should try some of these lines on my wife. What could possibly go wrong?
I'm kind of a white guy, and I can confirm that sometimes asking insanely dumb stuff like that (really dumb and forward with just an once or two of cheekiness) is part of the "I got nothing left and nothing to lose" playbook.
I'm a little ashamed to say that I've tried it on occasion. It rarely works, and usually on the wrong kind of women.
That being said, it's kinda dumb and offensive, but boy, some of these are GOLDEN.
You obviously have not learned how to be offended yet. If you just laugh at stupid texts, no one will listen. But if you grab your soapbox saying how this is racist and sexist, well, people will listen to you.

Ya but then it would just be called 'texting' and that doesn't sound interesting at all.
