It can be argued that they exposed the entire social justice warrior movement as a bunch of white people who use virtue signaling and call people “racists” in order to gain power and attention.
In the lead-up to the episode, Stone and Parker hilariously mocked white people, who through DNA swab tests, get to claim the privileges and victimhood of another ethnic group because they turned out to be either “2.1 percent black” or “4.2 percent Cherokee Indian.”
However, in the episode, we find our favorite social justice warrior, Randy Marsh, going on a tear by getting South Park elementary to cancel Columbus Day and tears down one Columbus statue while defecating on another. He even recruits his son, Stan, to start calling each and every resident of Columbus, Ohio to say they’re a “racist piece of sh-t” for living in a city named after “ethnic cleansing.”
It gets Stan to call his Dad out saying, “We all get your point, but don’t you think you’re overdoing it?”

It later reveals he’s a mix of Northern European, Meditteranean, and Southwest Asian, which closely matches the standard Caucasian British person. However, the test revealed that he’s 2.8 percent Neanderthal, which is higher than average.
Randy learns that Neanderthals were a species that was wiped out by Homo sapiens.
“Wiped out? All of my people?” Randy asks.
“Yes, but, you see, because of some cross-breeding some people like you possess Neanderthal DNA. Isn’t that interesting?” The DNA and Me rep responds.
Randy, discovering that he’s now a victim of oppression from Homo sapiens, begins to flips out.
“Cross-breeding? You mean rape. You’re telling me that my ancestors were raped and then...
