As the standoff continues, social media is mocking the protesters. One viral hashtag is #YallQaeda, with Twitter users comparing the cowboy-hat wearing gunmen to Islamic terror organizations. The hashtag combines the al Qaeda terrorist group name and the American English contraction y’all. Y’all is often used by rural Americans. Twitter user PatOndabak wrote, “whoever coined the hashtag #YallQaeda is brilliant. Redneck terrorism has descended on Oregon.” Twitter user Annie Post wrote, “If your master plan is to overthrow the world's most powerful government and you attack a remote bird sanctuary you might be #YallQaeda.” Other hashtags like #VanillaISIS and #YeeHawd mocked the protesters in a similar way. The hashtag #whiteprivilege also trended in connection to the protests in Oregon. “White privilege” is a term for social privileges that benefit people who are identified as white. The Oregon protesters are all white.
