Steinberg's Law 

Steinberg's Law, similar in concept to Bidoof's Law, says that there will never be anything more irritating than seeing a user who claims to be white, tweet out a bad or offensive opinion targeting white people, and then checking the user’s profile, and finding out they are “Jewish”.
Guy 1: Yo dude, I read this tweet that white people should just stop existing, yet the person who wrote it says they're white! I just don't get it.

Guy 2: Check their profile.

Guy 1: Why?

Guy 2: Just do it.

Guy 1: Hm.. alright, well, here it says their jewish, and.. Oh, I see.

Guy 2: Yeah, perfect example of Steinberg's Law bro.
