Wypipo

72. "The term is meant to refer to a group by skin color ..."

Any other posts,
other than the recent 'Wypipo' threads,
pointing out people based on their skin color would immediately be deleted from DU.

"Humorous" name calling against Asians, Native-Americans, African Americans, etc based upon their skin color is racist,
and so is referring to white people as 'Wypipo'.
And attacking or mocking those who find it offensive is also disgusting.

Over recent months we have seen 'progressives' attacked;
we have see men attacked as 'misogynists';
and now we're seeing white people mocked as 'Wypipo'.

It's as if some posters intentionally set out to alienate other DU members.

I thought DU was one place where Democrats could come together to support each other and other Democrats.
But there seems to be a segment of posters who enjoy name calling and attacking other members for sport.

It divides us and separates us. And I don't understand why DU allows it to continue.
And I don't understand why some members think it's OK, and even funny.

Substitute ‘Wypipo’ with any other skin color, and tell me it's OK and funny.
