Common slang term for a straight white male who doesn't automatically hate himself and wish to give all his rights and property to groups which deem themselves less "privileged" on grounds of religion, race, gender or sexual orientation.

Especially relevant if the Imperialist Pig in question is English, although it's gaining popularity among east coast Americans.

The English are regarded as Imperialistic because they used to have an Empire - the fact that this is a case of used to is not often recognised. Americans are also accused because of the process of Cultural Imperialism or coca-colonization which has taken place around the world since the 1950s.

Calling someone an Imperialist Pig started out as a marxist insult - Capitalism and Imperialism being just as bad as each other - and in fact, symbiotic according to Karl Marx's viewpoint. However, it's a pretty good insult and immediately applicable to anyone who can possibly be perceived an an "opressor", so it quickly spread into the lexicon of the communists, Leninists - ironically enough - and every other group which felt that a revolution was the best way to solve their particular issues. Now it's pretty much a joke term and is more likely to make the accuser sound foolish than the accused sound evil.

One day, all insults will go this way, I hope.

It's true: Everywhere you go in the world, this term is used as a standard form of address in speaking to straight white males. Mostly, it's propagated by the liberal media. When I can't turn on my television, set foot on a college campus, or walk into a restaurant without being called an "imperialist pig" by half the people I see, there's a real problem there.

The origin of this term lies in the great age of European "colonialism" in the 18th and 19th centuries. During those years, the benefits of European civilization were brought to a majority of the world's population. In countries like India and China, thousands of years of brutality and barbarism were replaced by enlightened rule and free markets. Naturally, the nabobs and pandjandrums of the Old Order in these backward nations were horrified, and they fought back. The so-called "Opium War" in China is a case in point. Leftist revisionist historians have painted a wildly inaccurate picture, hijacking history so far as to invent a fictional name ("Opium War") for what was, in fact, a Free Market War. The Mandarins were fighting to regain their stranglehold on the economy, while the English merely strove to preserve the market liberalism they'd so recently introduced. Opium had nothing to do with it; the "histories" you've read are a mass of spin control and ideologically motivated gibberish.

So, "imperialism" is really the practice of freeing third world peoples from the horror and slavery of their barbaric past. "Imperialism" is our greatest pride, our greatest achievement, our generous gift to the myriad peoples of the world. The Leftists hate that. Oh, boy do they hate that. So they coined this term, "Imperialist Pig", in an attempt to hijack the language and distort reality.

The next time you walk into Denny's and the welfare mother waitress addresses you as "Imperialist Pig", smile. She doesn't know it, but she just paid a great compliment to your committment as a white male to improving life for all the human race.
