I'm late to the party, but I completely get it. I noticed the same thing. They really ramped it up in later episodes; the "WHITE POWER" screen saver in the house of white supremacists that kidnapped the kid--and of course they'd be white supremacists, right?--was a nice touch.
For me, the point is not that whites are paragons of virtue, with an uncheckered past. It is that they are the ONLY group about which literally anything can be said without real repercussions--and the fact that this reality is increasingly taken advantage of.
That bears no resemblance to what krl97a posted.
I thought the point being made was that Westerners were and are not all evil, but the prevailing narrative out there is that they are. And even pointing that out results in childish mocking, as we see on this very web page.
No group, past or present, was or is all good or bad. And yet anti-white vitriol is constant and impossible to miss.
Triggered much?
People sure seem to use that line a lot--"Triggered?" I guess it's just a scornful, mocking jab, but it's also a rude, low-effort, and senseless.
You could say "Triggered?" to anything at all. Someone was wrongfully imprisoned, and ranted about it? Triggered. Someone's child just died in their arms, and they're emoting a little bit? Oh, they're just triggered.
But in this case, it reinforces the point. No one would mockingly say "Triggered?" if a non-white was complaining about something along the same lines.
And yeah, I'm aware of the obvious potential response to my post... "Triggered?"
Let's all just stop caring about everything. Apathetic zombiehood is the way to go. That's the only way to avoid ever being triggered.
