*nod* This reminds me of how the Culture Club (originally for non-White scholarship students at the boarding school I attended) was smushed out of existence. And between this and supposedly-ironic hipster racism... *sigh*
"Hipster racism" sounds like regular racism to me (& sexism & antisemitism), replete with all the old attacking-defenses ("Oh, you're too sensitive", "you say that all the time even when it's not true!", etc.) - did they think that giving it a new name would fool anyone? Well, racists ARE stupid, so the answer is most likely, "Yes."
