4chan is just a bunch of people pretending to be racist/homophobic/... for the lulz. Only a minority are hardcore trump supporters, neonazis, ...
My issue is even if that's true it kind of doesn't matter because it's making the people who are ACTUALLY racist/homophobic/name your bigotry flavor feel comfortable enough to be genuinely horrendous. Fucking with the Overton window like that ain't cool.

Japan: am I a joke to you!?
It's nowhere close to true even with the most revisionist views of history - what's also funny is the definition of white also isn't some set in stone thing and has changed greatly over time.
Colonialism absolutely fucked things up in large parts of the world (all of it?) but it wasn't just done by anglo/white dominant countries though England and Spain together account for a loooot of it.
