Quote reblogged from the bad dominicana with 197 notes

On Racialicious, Carmen Van Kerckhove dubbed hipster racism one of 2006’s top race and pop culture trends, which means that hipster or “ironic” racism has been a topic of conversation by writers of color and others in the social justice sphere for literally years. You won’t find any links or acknowledgments of these earlier discussions in West’s Jezebel post, but hey, at least a whole new audience of people will be that much closer to knowing how to talk about stuff like Lesley Arfin’s insensitive, “ironic” tweet last week.

Should we now also have “hipster appropriation” for those times when the works of WoC are appropriated without reference?
