Why is #ItsOkayToBeWhite trending? The seeds were planted by @UpAndOv3r on Dec 27th, but didn't start bearing fruit until Dec29th when @UpAndOv3r quote-tweeted its own tweet. Most of the tweets the last couple of hours are (negative) reactions to the trend.

@UpAndOv3r @ZellaQuixote Thus far, 1022 accounts have retweeted @UpAndOv3r's #ItsOkayToBeWhite tweets. These accounts by and large don't appear to be automated, but they were disproportionately created in 2019 (and lack the 2009 creation date spike we generally see with English Twitter accounts.)
@UpAndOv3r @ZellaQuixote Here's a visual comparison of the hashtags used in the profiles of the accounts pushing @UpAndOv3r's #ItsOkayToBeWhite tweets and the accounts reacting. The promoters use mostly right-wing hashtags; the pushback seems to be largely coming from KPop accounts.
@UpAndOv3r @ZellaQuixote A side effect of the above - the trend is now labeled as "K-Pop" related.
