Just as in 2016, white women were scolded after the midterm election for not voting in their best interests and instead for white men who want to take away their rights. It was mostly men saying this, like Wahajat Ali, who noted that women of color can do only so much.
We’re not sure how Saira Rao came to fame — we know she likes to post racist tweets on Twitter. Somehow she was noted by publishers and now has an “instant New York Times bestseller,” co-written with Regina Jackson, titled, “White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How to Do Better.” It’s also Amazon’s No. 1 new release in “Discrimination & Racism,” a category which could be taken two ways.
We’re pretty sure we know who’s buying it, and if we see Rao on a publicity tour telling her white female hosts what’s wrong with them, we’ll let you know. Today, though, she’s just back to her normal, everyday self:
White people wake up every day and choose violence.

She didn’t use to limit replies. Guess she’s too busy with the book to argue on Twitter. At this point, we even wonder if she’s worth covering; there’s absolutely nothing new in her tweets.
But mostly we choose coffee. The sweet, sacred, rejuvenating power of coffee. https://t.co/W488qDS7fX

It’s true. My wife got up early to go to work this morning and had to turn on the light in the bedroom for a quick second to find matching socks.
I’m still shaking. https://t.co/cT0du2um5D

This is absolutely racist.
I'm a brown person, and I too wake up every morning choosing violence.
WHY DOES SAIRA HATE VIOLENT BROWN PEOPLE? https://t.co/T9CpmmBIgZ

If she were just trolling, she might have been banned. But since she’s serious, it’s OK.
Here's more of that rampant racism that is allowed on Twitter since @elonmusk took over. https://t.co/BcJ1QFM7eL

I have toddlers, I don't get to wake up. They wake me up. Then they choose which books we're going to read and what cereal they want. It is only then that they choose violence, usually over a toy. Good talk. https://t.co/05elLJ3cz2

GP Well, apparently I haven't been white people-ing correctly according to this genius.
I'm really going to have to up my daily goals for racial violence and discriminatory oppression. https://t.co/KwvcIoaPdq

This tweet is literal racist violence https://t.co/tqFBz1yEDR

Earnest white liberals think that the racial reckoning is about theories and healing and other abstract stuff but ethnics who hate whites see it as a very concrete opportunity to vent their racial hatred of white people. https://t.co/MPaipK2USY

True.

Hi @elonmusk 👋 I’m hoping that racism, in all its forms, has no place on Twitter? https://t.co/qRA0jqzlln

If this were true, you wouldn't be tweeting about it. https://t.co/zIBdWuFoXC

Nah. Usually I choose cereal.
The violence comes later. https://t.co/WfnAB9DZ4H— Gatvol Swaantjie (@DieSwaan) November 16, 2022

Sorry … it’s just boring at this point and a joke that Penguin Books picked this up. Remember, Penguin is where several employees literally broke into tears learning that Penguin was publishing Jordan Peterson’s next book. We haven’t heard of a similar outbreak, but we’ll keep an eye out.
