10 Absurd Things the Woke Left Calls Racist

Summary: An objective of the woke left is to steep the minds of non-whites with a perception of pervasivene white racism. To this end, non-whites learn to see white supremacy in sandwiches, polite smiles, and forks.

In the ever-expanding universe of identity politics, it seems almost nothing escapes the label of "racist." What was once dismissed as satire has become a cottage industry of grievance: everyday behaviors, foods, hobbies, and objective standards are now framed as tools of "white supremacy."

Here's a top 10 countdown of examples. Keep in mind, this is the tip of the iceberg. For example, I omitted 'Having white babies" from the list as well as braided hair (cultural appropriation). Truth be known, most blacks couldn't define 'appropriation' if asked, I suppose. Er, uh, axed.

1. Being Polite
Yes, saying "please" and "thank you," maintaining civility, or valuing professionalism is now listed as a characteristic of "white supremacy culture" in materials promoted by institutions like the Smithsonian. Documents tie "politeness" to repressing emotions or enforcing dominant norms. Critics point out this frames universal courtesy as racially coded. The implicit accusation is that non-white lack social civility. russjones.substack.com

2. Math (and Getting the Right Answer)
Objective math is under fire. Claims abound that focusing on correct answers, punctuality in class, or "Western" concepts like algebra perpetuate racism. One professor called the idea that 2+2=4 a "myth" tied to "white supremacist patriarchy," while curricula push "ethnomathematics" to decenter "whiteness." The implicit accusation is that white are superior in math than some non-white groups. christianpost.com

3. Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches
A school principal and a New York Times video once linked PB&J to "white privilege" and implicit bias, suggesting it alienates non-white students unfamiliar with the combo or ties into broader cultural associations. Picnics got similar treatment for historical reasons. NBC

4. Milk (and Dairy in General)
Cow's milk has been called a symbol of white supremacy by PETA and others, with school lunch programs accused of "dietary racism" for not prioritizing non-dairy options enough, citing lactose intolerance rates among some groups of color. When American schools were racially segregated, this was not an issue. So, let's add number 11: Racial integration is implicit white supremacy. PETA

5. Punctuality and Hard Work
Traits like showing up on time, delayed gratification, and a sense of urgency are listed in "white supremacy culture" frameworks used in education and workplaces (echoing the Smithsonian-adjacent lists). The implication? These standards disadvantage minorities. Is this an unwitting admission that white make better employees than non-white. sbctc.edu pdf

6. Grammar and Proper English
"Standard" American grammar has been called racist or an "unjust language structure." Universities have pushed "antiracist" writing assessments that de-emphasize correctness in favor of rhetoric, arguing it marginalizes non-standard dialects. christianpost.com

7. Classical Music, Ballet, and Opera
These Western art forms are dismissed as "white" and elitist. Schools have dropped ballet from auditions for being too Eurocentric, while opera and classical repertoires face calls to confront their "race problem." medium.com

8. Knives and Forks (Cutlery)
A chef claimed Western utensils like knives and forks are racist, pushing alternatives in the name of cultural sensitivity. Eye-rolling and even certain hand gestures (like the OK sign, once a hoax) have faced similar scrutiny. extra.ie

9. Gardening, Hiking, and the Outdoors
Horticulture, weeding, and enjoying nature have been called out for "race problems" or lacking diversity. Some pushed dog-free zones or claimed rural spaces/countryside feel exclusionary. ncsu.edu

10. Sunsets, Fireworks, and Picnics
Even natural phenomena and simple pleasures aren't safe. National Geographic faced backlash over July 4 fireworks; picnics were tied to lynching history in one op-ed. The list goes on: skiing, knitting, cycling—you name it. nationalgeographic.com

This mindset doesn't combat real racism; it dilutes the term into absurdity, fostering division where shared standards once united us. Civilization runs on politeness, precision, and objective truth—not endless racial audits of lunch. What’s next, breathing?
