This notion of the "white genocide" has always, well, surprised me - I can't see whites being genocided anywhere in Europe, America and Australia (despite the fact that whites did come to the latter two continents as violent invaders and colonisers).
White people do have problems, sometimes, with some authortitarian segments of the modern Left movements (which cannot be equated with the Left movements in general). They can indeed, sometimes, be a target of aggression by some overenthusiastic SJW-types. I, being a Libertarian Leftist, do not support such acts of aggression, and think that modern Left movements need to acknowledge that some of their participants are openly authoritarian.
Yet such acts - which are in most cases are not even physical, let alone lethal - is a galaxy away from a genocide, that is, a systematic massive murder (directly, by physical killing, or indirectly, by a stuctural oppression intence enough to ensure that the oppressed would not survive it) of people who do (or do not) fit some criteria in which their murderers believe. As for now, white people are not subjected either to mass slaughter or to the lethally intence oppression.
Being insulted by some angry SJW, or being directed away from a "people of color safe space" on campus, or being forced to cleanse one's lecture of "trigger warnings" is not a pleasant experience, surely. Yet it is not on the same level - not even remotely so - of the one of being sent to a concentration camp, or assassinated by a death squad, or forced into a slave labour, or banished into ghetto / reservation, or deprived of food and shelter.
Thank you for putting this so eloquently! I just can't understand where the white genocide idea came from. Yes, there are extreme SJW's who spout hateful nonsense, but those are the minority who shouldn't be paid attention to. I do think "the Left" should make a bigger effort to denounce such violence and hate from the SJW movement. Being threatened online does not equate mass murder of a race. If so, then ALL races are currently in a genocide.
On a side note, I also do not understand the problem with "people of color safe spaces" or any "safe space" for that matter. I remember the uproar from that and was really confused about it. Not everything has to be open to everyone. As I've mentioned before, I am apart of a local group of black activists. Every Monday, they have a "dark skin only safe space" meeting where people can discuss issues regarding colorism. I have zero problem not being able to participate in this group, because it is not meant for me. As a light skin biracial woman, I have a privilege and recognize that dark skin people need a place where they can discuss colorism and the struggles they go through. It has nothing to do with racism or discrimination. Sorry if this is off topic, just wanted to add my two cents on this matter.
