To very loosely paraphrase Kermit the Frog, it’s not easy being white.
Here, one worried Redditor, posting in the Tumbler In Action Discussion subreddit (r/TiADiscussion) wonders what horrors will await him and others like him in the future if the dreaded SJWs get their way.
A White Tax?
Don’t be ridiculous. There won’t be any White Tax.
There will be a straight, cis white MALE tax.
BY DWORKIN’S HAMMER, what a tax law!

@kupo, did you offer to take their raise instead?
@Grettir
Can’t say I’m surprised. We’re talking about the same dipshits who run in here to scream at us about everything from “Free bleeding” to “Spermjacking,” all of which they made up in the first place.
@EJ
As a fan of necromancers, I wholeheartedly approve of this. 😀

CAN I GET A LINK TO THAT EXTENSION BECAUSE NECROMANCERS ARE AWESSSSSSOME

At those campus “bake sales”, they always charge Native Americans 25 cents per cupcake, and women a further 25 cents off the listed price. In theory, one Native American woman could show up and walk off with the entire inventory for free, effectively shutting down the bake sale. Serve them right, too.
The bake sales always miss the larger point, too – that the ingredients originally belonged to Native Americans but were stolen from them, that the ingredients were picked and refined and milled and baked by slave and immigrant labor, and most crucially, EVERYBODY WHO BUYS AND EATS A CUPCAKE IS QUALIFIED TO DO SO, the same way that every student at that college is qualified to be there. Minorities have already paid into the system through exploitation. They’re not getting some kind of free ride, regardless of what libertarians think.
@ Gettir:
That’s not entirely true. Progressive groups have held bake sales that charged white men more than other customers.* It’s just that when progressive organizations do it, they’re adjusting their prices in order to make a point about the wage gap instead of whining about how terribly unfair affirmative action is.
I’m not sure whether the opponents of affirmative action who stole the idea from progressives or the other way around. (Or if both groups came to a similar idea independently.)
*For instance, see here and here.
dhag85 won the thread, we can all go home now!
You all get medals just for showing up, though, that’s totally a real thing that happens so we won’t fail that tradition today!
How the fuck does one Java.
They do realize that social justice movements were not invented by teens on Tumblr, right? And that a great many so-called SJWs are white, right? Right? RIGHT???
People like Spritanium think that the descendants of those their ancestors oppressed will take some sort of revenge once they get power. Given that Whites appear to be living in South Africa and haven’t been massacred as yet, I would say that he and his ilk have nothing to worry about. Most of us “minorities” just want to be treated equally. There are no fantasies of enslaving or brutalizing White people. I’m sure Spritanium knows this and is just projecting, i.e., he’s upset that there are no more groups of people he can dominate and live off like his ancestors did.
Why oh why can’t there be an Asshole Tax? We could charge it for everyone who complained about the existence of an Asshole Tax, instead of trying the simple expedient of Not Being An Asshole.
This bloke clearly wasn’t around in the 80s, which, as far as I am concerned was a much more ‘social justice’ orientated decade than now. And sexism and misogyny are worse now than they were then – the everyday, hassly kind, and the shit in the media.
@Tara, I’ve heard that in lots of places in Latin America, there is a “gringo tax”, where rich unsuspecting tourists pay lots more for local artisan goods than the homefolks do. But it’s nothing formal, official (or, I suspect, even legal). They just charge one price for the locals, and a much more inflated one for anyone with a yanqui accent. Maybe someone could come up with a similar thing for blinkered bozos here.
I changed the extension icon to the Necromancer’s Amulet. The version from Skyrim.
Someone slept through the entirety of every history class he ever took.
@Dodom & Arctic Ape
Aww, thanks 🙂
@Jeff Fecke:
Well, the ones that don’t know the secret handshake, anyway…

Coach Oleander!!! (guess what I’ve been watching :P)
There kind of is an Asshole Tax already. It’s called “donating to A Voice For Men”.
Goddamn you blockquote mammoth.
There is definitely a gringo tax, it can be kind of annoying but it’s not usually like massively inflated so the difference is probably a few bucks. In my experience in Peru anyway. . .
@Buttercup Q. Skullpants:
I am glad that I wasn’t drinking my water when I read that. XD
But the gringo tax would basically just be a tourist tax, right? “He’s obviously not from here, he doesn’t know what this is worth, I’ll charge him extra.”
@katz
That’s what I thought it was too.
David Futrelle,
Talk about a paranoid racist loser!
