What?
I know it's just a dumb meme but how do you think racism starts? My experience is it tends to begin as "just a joke" until it's normalised enough that someone feels comfortable enough to take off the mask and either encourage or perform discrimination and/or violence.
Why tolerate white racism when we don't tolerate any other kinds?
I see how it could somewhat fit the third definition if you craned your neck but I don't really think it applies.
(I'll see if I'm able to expand on it later)
