me: bo burnham’s song is fine and i like it and he is the exception to this, but in general i think a lot of white men who make jokes about white women are just making misogynistic jokes in general and then tacking ‘white’ onto it to make it seem progressive. this does not mean we shouldn’t talk about how white women are often foundational to upholding white supremacy but i am uncomfortable with white men in particular using it as an excuse to make misogynistic jokes that have nothing to do with those critiques whatsoever
