No. Weve taking a beating for being white for a while now so I think this phrase is apropos.

I wonder if the regressive left will begin to proclaim the Caucasian race isn't a race; that these people are somehow devoid of race. If that sounds too kooky, then there's a good chance this will happen.

I don't think it's racist but I do think it's for hyperreactionary crybabies. There's no reason for a white person in the US to feel threatened enough to develop something like this.

of course it is ok to be it. It's not like we hate ourselves!

The problem is when such a phrase is thrown around by well known hate groups in order to try to recruit people into their hate movement.

If Harvey Weinstein started saying 'it's ok to have a penis' or if Pennywise were real and said 'it's ok to be a clown', I'd not argue that having a penis or being a clown is wrong, but it's certainly problematic when those two adopt those phrases as a battle cry, and it becomes something else.

I don't have an issue with acknowledging that race exists.

race doesn't exist
ethnicity exists but race's definition is completely arbitrary and shifts based on convenience

There's no true equality if you think there's a 1:1 with whiteness and everything else. Be proud of being Irish, English, Swedish, etc. but whiteness either means something contradictory or something bad. There's nothing to be proud of in simple whiteness.

the whole false "whites are discriminated against" is a talking point pushed by the alt right and white nationalists to feed their victim complex.

in that sense, since "it's okay to be white" relies on "whites are discriminated against", then I would say the phrase is racist, yes.

In the context it's being used and the groups that are using it.

That said, obviously there's nothing wrong with being white, no one of consequence is saying so, and you'd have to be a moron to think so.

No, because the phrase itself isn't a white pride statement. It's more so just saying it isn't an inherently bad thing to be white.

Also FYI this all comes from /pol/ to expose anti-white SJWs.

Racists don't believe in racial equality. You just denied racial equality. Here, I'll add the rest of your quote:

"There's no true equality if you think there's a 1:1 with whiteness and everything else."

To say Caucasians are not equal to any other race, is racist.

Caucasians =/= whiteness.

The "white" experience, especially in America, is not the same as that of other races. If you're crying for equality you better give due diligence to the differences. Something tells me you're not too keen on that.

No. Because it's in no way a supremacist statement. It seems to exist to get anti white rascists to expose themselves because no one who isn't a bigot should get mad at someone saying " It's ok to be the race I am"

I think it's a necessary reminder for our generation. Too many people are caught up in guilt for things that are beyond their influence. In fact it may not be accurate to describe it as guilt, but as a coping mechanism to distance oneself from "being on the wrong side".

I feel like only a racist could think society has some sort of issue with white people that requires reassurance that you shouldn't feel bad for having that skin tone.

The sentence itself isn't inherently racist, but anyone who thinks it needs to be said might be.

It doesn't though. That's the whole point of what they did. A lot of alt-right talk DOES as you say rely on this victim narrative, but the purpose of the phrase was to see if even the most innocuous, non-offensive statement that didn't paint whiteness as negative would be accepted or whether people would rally against it. There's no context needed, because the people freaking out over the phrase didn't have the context at the time of their reaction. All anyone needed to do was not react to show them they were 100% wrong, but they couldn't help themselves.
