No, they get pissy about white people doing things from non-white cultures too.
So, like, listening to blues/jazz?

Sort of, but they're actually a lot more against whites participating in hip-hop culture for whatever reason.
They're pretty much against anyone doing anything that's not to do with the specific groups that they have been assigned. Like people who aren't furries wearing clothes that are styled like animals or w/e.

Silly me, thinking that TSJ couldn't become any more insane. Next they're probably going to start arguing that people shouldn't move outside of their economic class, either.

It's like they're trying to communicate some sort of message. I can't understand it though, there's too much stupid.

Best not to try to decipher it. I tried to decipher stupid once, and it damn near killed me.

Right, I believe what they are trying to say is that some white women, specifically in the 'upper class', feel so privileged that they believe themselves constant victims.

No, they're saying that white women have so much privilege that they are not victims of privilege, and thus if they are raped they aren't suffering in any special way like the actual victims of privilege are. Thus the tag SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen. A truly disgusting sentiment, but one that I am not surprised at. The SJW's have been contracting the "protected classes" for a while now. Gay men and straight white women are out in the cold by this point.

On the previous subject of racial correctness, to which I was unable to respond promptly: I have seen at least one SJW claim that white people should not be allowed to speak Spanish because it appropriates from indigenous PoCs.

Viva la apropriación!

(also, ninja'd by MSH: I don't even. Though I've seen someone ELSE make a "hierarchy of privilege" in which white, middle-to-upper class cishet women are being oppressed by poor, gay black trans people.)

What's a SJW?

... And isn't spanish an imperialist language... (at least to the native americans) I guess that's one of the reasons why it's a stupid thing to say.

Social Justice Warriors, mostly exist on tumblr. They fight oppression in all forms, everywhere, reality be damned.

In truth, they are some of the most racist people on the internet (the fact that they put everyone who isn't white in the category of People of Color should be a decent indicator).

It's an incredibly interesting phenomenon. Also it's likely Tumblr gained its SJW crowd simply by drawing from the same demographic as reddit [see; no neckbeards].

So basically this whole thing is just a case of trolling gone horribly real?

I find it quite fascinating that someone would know so much about the history of weird internet movements. You should write the Secret Chronicles of the Internet or something, sociologists of the future might be really grateful.

However, the number of goons who believed the propaganda soon outnumbered the trolls and so /SRS/ grew to become a formidable trolling force on reddit.

This strikes me as a thing that happens outside the internet.  Imagine if Glen Beck is just in it for the money, or trolling everyone...

While I know very little about the Tumblr Social Justice crowd (this board is the first place I've heard is significantly discussed) I have heard that they like to abuse the term "privilege", and have this picture showing how that can be hilarious:

Its basically a scoreboard for how disadvantaged you have.  Except that if you analyze it even a little, you'll realize that the numbers make no sense.  Blind is three times worse than paralyzed, being Muslim makes you less privileged even if you live in the Middle East, being very short apparently puts you at a net disadvantage even if you're rich, ect.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure this was meant seriously.
