No, not at all.

Actually I'm not even usually offended when non-white people make racist comments about whites. I'd be WAY more offended by a metalhead making fun of my music or South Park making fun of liberals than if some black guy called me a "stupid cracker" or whatever.

Get help if those things offend you.

It kind of upsets me that in addition to everything else, white people have now appropriated making fun of white people, too.

It's grating. But yes, white people unironically calling each other honkies or whatnot is wrong. I also do not like being called n--ger, by anyone.

It strikes me as an attempt to be edgy and shore up the notion that they are the most certifiably liberal, and, more importantly, tolerant. If you're actually liberal or tolerant, you shouldn't have to reaffirm such through saying "Ha ha, look at this race I totally have nothing to do with and have never benefited from! Yeah!"

No, of course that's because not much in general offends me. I mean, what's the point in getting offended by things? If people like you, good, if not, than f***K them and move on with your life.

Systemically that's correct. Individually it isn't, and I'm confused how you even came to that explanation.

Either way, I'm white and I make racist comments about white people all the time, so I'd be a hypocrite to say it offended me.

Yes, it's stupid.  If you buy into the notion that race is a relevant concept, you're riding the line of endorsing racism.  

If you really care about defining "white" characteristics, you're implying that those things are not black characteristics.  We shouldn't be building up barriers or trying to define races with certain traits.  Rather, we should just treat people like people, with no regard for their race.

Are you offended by whites making racist comments about whites?

I reckon it depends upon the comment. 

Hard to give a one-word answer.  It's rather like asking whether I like Mexican food.  Well, some of it:  I do enjoy tacos al pastor, with pico de gallo and salsa de aguacate, but I'm not very fond of menudo.

I'm not particularly offended by it (being offended too easily is one of the problems with our culture), but it's definitely pretty dumb.

Does a sigh and an eyeroll count as offense?

Nah, but it's idiot behavior. The overlap between them and the people that roleplay black people from five years ago online is probably pretty high.

I have no idea what you're talking about.  Though I"m learning a lot about myself today.

Yeah, I had heard that.  The highest form of flattery, though next time maybe they should get somebody that actually pays attention.

No, but I'm not white. However, there is one phrase I definitely object to: calling white working-class people "white trash", which is something I heard quite often from liberal friends who don't like the way white working-class people tend to vote. I will always voice my opposition on that. People, regardless of color, are not "trash", period.
