((I’m sorry but this kind of thing has to stop.

make stereotypes like “black people only eat watermelon and chicken” and you get attacked for being racist.

make stereotypes like “White girls take pictures of their coffee and stick it on instagram” and you get a 5000+ note text post.

“Gay people disgust me” = attacked by everyone on tumblr as a homophobic fuckhead.

“Straight people disgust me” = “omg lol so funny” 5 billion notes

If this said “black teenage girls” or “gay teenage girls” or ANYTHING like that everyone would be up in arms.

I appreciate that “white people” enslaved millions and were generally shit to what they consider to be minorities. I understand that. But that doesn’t give anyone the right to be racist/sexist/phobic in the other direction.

Racism is wrong

Sexism is wrong

Stereotypes and hatred based on sexuality or gender orientation is wrong.

And here’s the thing nobody seems to get; It’s wrong in both directions.

Equality is about everyone being equal while accepting that we have cultural or physical or any other kind of differences. It’s not about preaching hatred for another kind of person - I believe that’s the kind of thing we’re meant to be fighting against.

This has been a rant from someone who’s sick of the whole white girls thing. It wouldn’t be funny if it was anyone else, it’s not fucking funny when it’s them.))

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The solution to racism/sexism/homophobia/all that’s in between is NOT by bashing the majority.  It’s just not.  That gets you nowhere.  No, actually, it makes it worse.  If you want more support and understanding, then stop doing stuff like this.

Me: Hi, I’m with *** Church and we’re looking at revamping our sound system, so we were hoping you might be able to come out and do an assessment of our equipment.

Sound Co Rep:  Sure, we can do that.  Is there someone who knows the system, that can be there to show me everything and I can work with?

Me: Yes, I am the Head of Sound and will be the person to accompany you around the church.

Sound Co Rep: Oh.  Well, I’d really like someone who actually knows the sound system very well.

Me: Again, that person is me.  I am the main person who runs sound and again I head up the sound ministry at the church.

Sound Co Rep:  To be honest, I’d much rather have a man go thru everything with me since they would know it better.

Me: …

**It takes quite a bit to ruffle my feathers, so to speak.  But, that man made me SO angry.  *sighs*  Yes, my voice is high and many people mistake me for a 5 year old on the phone.  However, that does not discount my many years of experience running sound.  Yet, because I’m a woman, I’m not qualified in his eyes, to consult with him regarding my sound system at work.  Wow.  Just, wow.

What the fucking hell really?  It’s a fucking CHURCH are you seriously going to discriminate in church?  I’m not super religious by any means, but I have a feeling that the higher powers that be aren’t cool with sexism, just… wow.  WOW!  And he flat out said he’d rather have a man there?!

You should’ve been like, “There is a man here.  He’s our Lord and Savior.  And he doesn’t condone your simple minded behavior.”  Just… OMG IT’S CHURCH WHUT?!  I guess sexism really does happen everywhere, Jesus Christ.  LITERALLY!
