content: It's also hilarious because most of them pretty clearly don't even have an elementary level understanding of sociological concepts. For example the "racism = power + privilege" line that get's thrown about, and when you respond with the dictionary definition of racism they lose their shit. The entire "racism = power + privilege" concept was never meant to be a replacement for the definition of racism, rather, it was meant to be a stipulative definition. That is to say, it was meant to be added to the existing definitions of racism and effectively introduce the concept of "institutional racism" into the definition of racism. Of course, this shit goes into the internet/tumblr machine and comes out the other end completely divorced from its original mea  7ff8  ning and intent. It's the same way how "cultural appropriation" can go from, "You probably shouldn't run around with face paint and a giant headdress on, waving your over your mouth going 'ABOHBOHBOHBOHBOHBOHBOHBOH!' if you're not native american," to, "OMG! These white people were making homemade sushi for their foodie blog (which is problematic in and of itself but I digress) and, get this you guys, THEY TOTALLY PUT SOMETHING IN THEIR SUSHI THAT ISN'T TRADITIONALLY FOUND IN SUSHI! OH THE HUMANITY!" That's another way they utilize the motte and bailey argument, is they take something that sounds reasonable like, "don't pervert or make a mockery of someone else's culture for your own gain," and turn it into "white people eating tacos is literally destroying thousands of years of culture." It's just insanity all the way down.
