Ever since 2016 I've noticed more and more of the racists, bigots, and fuckwits of all stripes have started to cease using the euphemisms that once gave them plausible deniability for their horrid beliefs. There's a video on this that I recall basically saying when euphemisms stop being used that's a very bad sign because it indicates the people who used them no longer think they'll be punished for going mask off, meaning society is shifting and not for the better.
Yeah the Overton Window has been getting shoved to the right as of late, and it sucks so much that the President, ostensibly the leader of the party ostensibly in opposition to the Far Right in this country, can't even hold some press conferences to unequivocally condemn this shit, much less actually push federal legislation to protect against GOP-held state legislatures stripping away people's rights and criminalizing their very existence.
Remember when he gave an address to the nation in the fall about that stuff and the networks refused to broadcast it?

apparently, on September 1st, 2022, Biden gave a speech that the networks (ABC, NBC, CBS) decided was "too political", especially in light of the then upcoming midterms.
It's always interesting how these self-styled "independent thinkers" who don't fall into our mundane "left/right" categories sure do only ever seem to flock together with right wing racist shitbirds.

I work with a dude who basically says this kind of thing all the time.
Discreetly leave this printed out on their desk/dashboard/register?
Honestly wouldn't affect him at all.\
Also the Scott Adams thing is literally the joke
"I got banned for my conservative beliefs!"
"Wow you got banned for wanting no taxes or social services?"
"No you know the ones..."
Just like ol Steve Bannon, Scott got high on his own supply. Don't me wrong, I always known Adam and Bannon were pieces of shits, (no one tops John Wayne's virulent racist ass though .)
Pretty much the old Hollywood, entertainment types, that hate that more ,"not them" are now much more prevalent in Entertainment now.
It's gonna be fun watching society forget him and his legacy as quickly and completely as Al Capp.
JICYDK, folks:
Al Capp was one of the biggest newspaper cartoonists, literally ever. But thanks to a later-in-life turn as a political reactionary and disgusting sex pest, you'd never know it now.
He famously told Goldie Hawn, who had just basically fought off his assault attempt, to "Go home and marry a Jewish dentist," because he would make sure she never got work in Hollywood after rejecting him.
Tbh, given that "white" is a constantly evolving definition that doesnt really describe historical, geographic, ethnic, or cultural identity, it kind of isnt "ok to be white". "Whiteness" as a thing was constructed, maintained, and updated specifically to prop up white supremacy. It has very little meaning or purpose beyond saying "these are the good ones', and expanding or contracting that as the situation permits. We'd all be in a much better place if the idea of a white identity was discarded.
Having a lighter skin pigment and a largely western European heritage is fine though.

Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.
Now, I want to be very clear — (applause) — very clear up front: Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology.
I know because I’ve been able to work with these mainstream Republicans.

No mention of Roe v Wade being overturned, no mention of the waves of anti-trans bills being put forth in state legislatures. Yeah, that ain't what I'm looking for.
Musk is going to have his Scott Adams moment eventually, probably sooner rather than later. He's falling further down the rabbit hole every day, and he doesn't have the restraint to keep it hidden.
I mean even if he does, what consequences can he face? He owns the platform he's going to pull his own pants down on, so it's not like they can kick him off. The government's going to keep using his rockets because they don't have a better option and people are going to keep buying his cars because there aren't many better alternatives (yet) and everyone in his cult of personality will rationalize away literally anything bad that he says.

Not that I'm looking to defend Musk, because ew, but that's what the tweet says. The media used to be racist against non-whites, now it's racists against whites and Asians (who aren't non-white, apparently?)

Also the UN was told within hours that the evidence was false. One of the key pieces was done using out of date letterhead and signed by someone who left that position over a decade earlier.
At least four major suppliers of Hyundai Motor Co and sister Kia Corp have employed child labor at Alabama factories in recent years, a Reuters investigation found, and state and federal agencies are probing whether kids have worked at as many as a half dozen additional manufacturers throughout the automakers’ supply chain in the southern U.S. state.
At a plant owned by Hwashin America Corp, a supplier to the two car brands in the south Alabama town of Greenville, a 14-year-old Guatemalan girl worked this May assembling auto body components, according to interviews with her father and law enforcement officials. At plants owned by Korean auto-parts maker Ajin Industrial Co, in the east Alabama town of Cusseta, a former production engineer told Reuters he worked with at least 10 minors. And six other ex-employees of Ajin said they, too, worked alongside multiple underage laborers.

It's cool, I'm sure those companies will get fined for a tiny fraction of their profits and nothing else will happen
Given the historical context that whiteness is used in. I'd argue anyone of European descent isn't well served using the term if they want to avoid appearing racist. The term used to only cover Anglo-Saxon Christians and then when the racists of that group no longer had a reliable majority, it was extended out to include other shitheads from other European ethnicities. If you go far enough back, I wouldn't be considered white simply based on my French, German, Italian or Irish heritage (probably missing a few others, pretty sure there is some Greek in the genetics as well). Hell, would probably run into issues even today because some of my Jewish ancestry is pretty noticeable.
This gets into the other area, where the asshole didn't consider some people white because of their religious beliefs or cultural traditions. It didn't matter how pasty white someone's skin was, if they didn't perform all the customs that the asshole white supremacists considered to be white customs and didn't have Anglo-Saxon names. They weren't considered white. Hell, you can see criticism of that very habit even today. One issue many Indian Americans have with the GOP, is that they point how people like Nikki Haley and Bobby Jindal got to be republican governors by abandoning their heritage outside of being able to tick the Indian American box. Another example of this is Ted Cruz, the asshole started using Ted, so that he could better integrate with the white supremacists that dominant his political party.

it sounds like the survey wording and the response to it are exactly what the white supremacists are aiming for when they codify the phrase "it's ok to be white" as a signal to each other. Nonwhite people become aware of it before white people because it's necessary for their safety to be aware of things like that, and then when white people to hear about it, the innocuous wording is a "they're the REAL racists for pointing out our racism!" shield. Same with the fucking hand signals and the 14 words.
I like to write in European Mongrel if they give me the option. Would be happy to see white get replace with European. Would be even happier if they broke that down further.

Elon Musk liked this reply:
lol
I remember the Wuhan virus
racism against Asians is still a thing
Speaking of, Wall Street Journal and one of the “IRAQ HAS WMD!” Assholes have decided to stoke that fire back up
Unsure how many of that 22% answered "it's not ok to be white" ior whatever to whatever bullshit question it was.
He then applied that to "checks notes" every poc in the U.S.

It's going to be a tragedy when, one day soon, he's all alone at Twitter and needs to fire someone to stroke his ego but there's no more employees.
It's like Harlan Ellison warned us:
