“Not everyone is eligible for these honors. Only the small subset of white people called “wypipo” — those who trade in privilege, hate and what our panelists call “white people s–t” — are eligible to receive a nomination. Without further ado, here are the nominees and winners of the 2016 Wypipo Awards…

Best New Wypipo

Nominees:

Tomi Lahren: For her toxic whiteness;

Maine Gov. Paul LePage: For saying that his state’s heroin epidemic was caused by black men named “Shifty” and “D-Money” who traveled there to impregnate white girls;

Secret white emailers: For sending secret white emails after secret white meetings;

Wypipo who can’t stand that someone else’s life matters besides theirs: For “All Lives Matter.” For “White Lives Matter.” For “Blue Lives Matter.””

These are so great.
