Oh wow, I've never heard of that. I think I can count on one hand the people who I've met who've actually stated that white people are inferior, I don't think that's something to be concerned with.
Somebody is a "warrior" when they are cheering up a group of generally discriminated-upon individuals
See the thing is, I think a lot of the time when people cheer up a group of marginalised people, without saying anything else, people will often infer that they mean others are worse. I've seen peopel take the 'girl power!' phrase used by children and people to inspire young girls to be propaganda that all boys are bad (this happened with a sign in the new Ghostbusters film). And they'd be branded as SJWs, so I don't know if your definition is accurate?
From my understanding, an SJW is somebody who defends groups generally discriminated upon—racial minorities, sexual minorities, transgender … moreand agender individuals, females, religious minorities—while also stating that these groups are superior to their less discriminated counterparts—whites, heterosexuals, cisgender individuals, males, religious majorities. A white, heterosexual, cisgender male is evil by nature, going by this reasoning, which, you might or might not agree, doing this is just as bad.
It's fairly easy to recognize an SJW. Somebody is a "warrior" when they are cheering up a group of generally discriminated-upon individuals while demonizing everyone who doesn't fit that category. It's an even bigger of a double standard when you only defend some of these discriminated groups while completely ignoring others.

You accidentally forgot to include the rest of the sentence, @Flog61! "…While demonizing everyone who doesn't fit that category."
I am talking about people who actually, textually, explicitly say that, not those who leave it up for assumptions. SJWs can be recognized by this unreasonable line of thought. You can look up "social justice warriors" on Google Images and you will stumble on a whole lot of these people.

I wouldn't label those who joke about trigger warnings about social justice warriors, because they themselves are attacking a minority, or "weak-minded people," as they call them. They would be the contrary actually, but assholes for sure.
Its probably depends on what you consider a trigger and what can cause someone to have one or what could trigger them. Triggered has been so… more exaggerated and downgraded to someone being upset about something when its actually a very severe response to deep rooted trauma. Tumblr and other places have made the word a joke so now its a punchline to overly offended culture.
Hm, well I find this confusing in terms of what Bettertosleep says because there's a massive range of things which can, scientifically, trigger PTS.
