accomplishedI had to bust out with it. With apologies to
blackperson for her original BINGO board, and thanks to zra for the inspiration, and karnythia and lilithcoyote for their help.| B | I | N | G | O |
| Berates one minority group for bigotry toward another without acknowledging role of white racism. | Prefers to be called “a person of European descent.” | “People shouldn’t self-segregate.” | “If we all just married interracially, racism wouldn’t exist!” | "We don’t really have racism here in City/Country/Delusional Little World.” |
| “Knows” something about POC, because her POC friend told her so. | "White people have ethnicities, too!” *pout* | Scolds black folk for calling themselves “nigga/h/z.” | Dismisses claims of invisible white privilege as conspiracy theories about “The Man.” | Thinks growing up among POC/having POC family/a POC maid gives them license to make sweeping statements. |
| “I don’t really have white privilege (or I understand racism), because I’m gay/poor/disabled/Irish/a woman.” | Compares factory farms/eating meat to “the slave trade” and “the Holocaust” or “the Trail of Tears.” | PRACTICALLY FREE SPACE! “I think we should all just be colorblind” or “I don’t see color.” |
“The problem with America today is that people don’t take enough personal responsibility for their actions.” | Agrees that racism has negative consequences for POC, without having positive consequences for white people. |
| Claims that not dating POC is purely a matter of physical preference—“I don’t date short/redheaded men, either!” | Grows matlocks as "sign of respect/admiration." | "POC can’t exactly claim cultural appropriation while using the ‘white man’s’ computer.” | Cites Clarence Thomas on matters of race only or Openly agrees with Bill Cosby. | Wants a cookie for not owning a white hood. |
| Says “Talking about racism is so divisive” or Turns every discussion of race into a discussion of class. | Brings up race of POC partner or children randomly, in order to prove lack of racism. | Believes lack of white scholarships/existence of HBCUs/fact that POC do not like him/her is “kinda racist.” | "The Asians or African/Caribbean immigrants have ‘made it’—so black people should be able to.” | Awkwardly avoids mentioning race to describe folks, or actively mocks such attempts. |
BONUS SQUARE! AUTOMATIC WIN!
| "You need to calm down." |
And, finally:
| Creates "White Liberal BINGO." |
