Their ideas didn't even seem to matter, and despite being people who act like you should never put consideration into someone's physical attributes - they seem to really care about who's saying something and not what's being said.
Anyone else got any examples of this?
Most of the human race, actually.
They just have a different conception of "us" which paradoxically excludes white people despite most of them actually being white.
So one difference is they're delusional and have an incoherent concept of themselves and the other is that they take this normal human attribute to absolutely ludicrous extremes.
So for instance, the "normal" white male is, by and large, going to be more comfortable with people they're familiar with. This might shade into casual bigotry. Someone more socially conscious is going to try to minimize their own prejudice.
However, someone who takes this to an extreme is the type of person who ends up on Stormfront and its progeny ranting about white pride and the dang dirty Jews.
SJWs are just the leftist version of this with a mirror image of the "us" that the traditional racist has.
I'd distinguish this from the racism expressed by, say, Malcolm X. He was angry and it was on his own behalf and that of his group. And, since he is often cited by SJW types to justify racist attitudes toward whites, it should be noted that he actually eventually renounced his racist views.
The reason SJWs look even more ridiculous doing this is because they usually look exactly like the people they're denouncing as the evil cis whitey monster.
Somebody throw me a doughnut, I'm tired and I could use a bit of definitional assistance here.
What is perceived to be the difference between a "social justice warrior" and a person who works for and/or supports social justice causes? Like, what makes one an SJW as opposed to a person who does a lot of volunteer work for marginalised/underprivileged groups?
Suppose you're a bicyclist, whether to commute or just for fun, and think there should be more bicycle trails. You might work with the City Council, create a lobbying group, work with national networks of organizations that have done similar things in other cities, and if the local authorities end up recalcitrant, actually start demonstrating and protesting.
Even when protesting, though, you would usually try work with the police to minimize friction, make sure everything went in an orderly fashion, and put out a coherent message so that the general public slowly but surely comes around to your point of view.
Obviously, you can't always do this, but it should be the goal. You want your goal to become popular enough that people who want to be elected, or stay in office, adopt it as one of their own positions.
Now, suppose you're an SJW with a pro-bicycle stance. You go straight to protests that consist of acting like a complete piece of shit, blocking traffic, screaming that cars need to be outlawed, and smash car windows and the like.
If you show up to council meetings at all, it's to jump up and scream and yell insults until they're forced to remove you.
The general public develops the view that any idea espoused by such a complete shithead must be bad. (Incidentally, the latter is basically the "strategy" of a moronic group called "Critical Mass.")
