Don’t Call Me ‘Sis’: White Women Ignore Our Boundaries

It was the social media post heard all over TikTok.

User Bratt4U made a simple post, a video saying this: “If you’re white, don’t call me sis. Point blank period.”

Their request was met, not with understanding or respect, but by immediate backlash, hatred, and racism.

Numerous people, the majority of them appearing to be White women, responded in Bratt4U’s video’s comments or with their own TikToks, finding some way to disrespect Bratt4U’s request, call them racist, or find a way to ignore their boundary and call them what they asked not to be called.

After enough of this treatment, Bratt4U shut off the comments for that particular video. It hasn’t stopped the video from reaching over 1.5 million views and counting.

Finally, in a now-removed post, the user takes Bratt4U’s sound from their video and places it over a video of an ape. (In case you don’t know, referring to Black people as apes or monkeys is racist.)
