I agree with your general point, and I also do a little internal eye-roll when I see someone use the term "Becky." At the same time though, racially-charged attacks on white people in the US just aren't the same as racially-charged attacks on blacks or Jews or other groups. It's not unfair to expect white people to just shrug their shoulders and move on with their day without making a big fuss about it.
Are you serious?

When your go to tactic is this, you are as much the problem.
I know, right? the leader of the free world says something controversial and it makes the news. really, really weird.
Surprising since his tweets are what everyone is talking about since Sunday...
Trump's tweets thread is my favorite in the Political forum. He (or someone purporting to be him) tweets so many inflammatory, inaccurate, and contradictory things and often mean-spirited to boot. It absolutely amazes me that a President of the United States would say these things, especially when they are so easy to refute as BS.
No, actually it is unfair.
Not sure either but I’m hearing it everywhere this morning, mostly from conservative sources, as a rebuttal against criticism of President Trump’s comments. Rather than specifically address what Trump said, the argument seems to be “you guys shout racism all the time and we’re sick of it.”
Isn’t this just a long version of what I just wrote?
This is all true, but you're overlooking the best parts -- the grammatical errors, weird and Random use of capitalization, misspelling, etc. His tweets are really just a perfect blend of awfulness that it almost makes them kind of endearing.
Trump managed to mention them on Monday in his diatribe against the Squad. He’s giving a rally tonight in North Carolina. No doubt they will come up.
Yes I did neglect to add that it is quite entertaining to point out all of the mistakes and goofiness. It is kinda like Mystery Science Theater 3000
This is another falsehood. Plenty of people get accused of racist statements when they don't make one
I don't know, but this is pretty telling
Hey, murdering scumbugs deserve a chance at the American dream to. Why should there be laws getting into this country, it's just not right that they have to cross illegal to kill people. They're probably just misunderstood.
With all due respect this is really naive. The American experience for blacks and whites has been, and continues to be, very different. It appeared to be getting better, but I think has stalled or taken a step back in the last couple of years.
LOL at "cracker" isn't racist. What is it a term of endearment? Nothing carries the same weight as the n-bomb but that doesn't mean other terms aren't racist.
Listen I don’t think Gary needs an American civics lesson from a Canadian citizen.
No, but it would be rude. What makes that comment racist when saying it to a black person is that you are assuming they are from Africa based on their color or you are going our of your way to be hateful because of their color. Telling Els to go back to Africa would be based on the fact that you know he's from Africa so it wouldn't be racist.
Telling how? We already know that the vast majority of undocumented immigrants are not gang members; in fact they are typically more law abiding than native born Americans.
If I told a black guy I knew was from Africa to go back to Africa is that just rude or is it racist?
You've got to be kidding. And here lies the hypocrisy, telling a group of people to just suck it up and take it. What a joke.
