Laptop-Sticker-White-Liberal
A white person who appears to be liberal in theory but is secretly racist, homophobic, ableist,classist, etc in practice.
Someone who can quote Audre Lorde and has a “Believe Women”, “BLM” and “Abolish ICE” sticker on their laptops but will refuse to actually believe women of color when being told that they are using their white privilege to harm rather than to heal.
People who pretend to be woke by putting virtue signaling stickers on their laptops but do not actually stand for those values when it comes down to it.
Example:
White Person: *does something racist*
Person of Color: Do you have capacity to talk about why that felt racist to me?
White Person: No, also I’m not a racist.
Person of Color: Okay, when will you?
White Person: It’s my “boundary” that you stop talking.

If you believe in systemic racism why do y’all act so furious and defensive when people of color express to you personally that something you did was racist?
Like how do y’all Laptop-Sticker-White-Liberals believe all the science and numbers and history of systemic racism but the buck stops when someone expresses you’ve personally been racist it’s just suddenly unfathomable?
Racist actions can happen whether you intend for them to or not. You can’t just deny something is racist to a person of color and shut them out just because it’s too uncomfortable for your fragile white ears to hold onto. And it sure as hell isn’t a boundary to silence queer brown voices post you hurting them.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
