    Everyone should have protections against racism, but I’m sure whatever the Trumptards are doing is probably wrong.

      It’s protections for white people to continue being racist and/or ignore their racist tendencies.

      It’s basically “we’re not going to allow you to have more than one donut because we don’t want to lose out on our ten.”

    This is the pattern for conservatives. For years, they’ll rail against left ideologies until they realize how effective the arguments are, then adopt those same arguments for their own purposes.

    Reverse racism is the classic example. But my favorite is how MRA bros have completely co-opted the language of feminism and gender criticism. Some of those bros sound just like Judith Butler, except from the parallel reality where everyone has a goatee and is evil.

    The way to combat this nonsense is to use their own bullshit against them. Object to lesson plans surrounding the American War for Independence by saying that students of English descent may feel uncomfortable.
