The '#BernieMadeMeWhite' hashtag emerged in March 2016 as a satirical response by Black, Latino, and Asian supporters of Bernie Sanders to mainstream media coverage that frequently ignored the diversity of his voter base. Sparked by a segment on CNN that failed to mention minority support for Sanders, the meme quickly went viral as people of color posted photos of themselves to prove their existence within the movement. It serves as a sharp critique of the 'Bernie Bro' narrative and the broader tendency of news outlets to erase non-white political voices that don't fit established storylines. Today, the meme remains a significant example of digital activism and how marginalized groups use humor to reclaim their identities in political discourse.
