The idea that 'whites' are a homogeneous "powerful" group is as naive is it is prejudice. The standards apply to everybody or they don't apply at all.
- tim333 9y agoI'm a white hetro male. If people have a go at us I'm not fussed it's not going to achieve much. Things like saying let's gas the jews or beat up gays are more problematic because those have been problems.
- aaron-lebo 9y agoYeah, and Jews tend to be white, so when people get in their jabs about white people, it's really ignorant and hateful. You can't tell by the tone of someone's skin what they and their family have been through. We could start discussing things like where the word Slav comes from and how much the Irish were despised in the US for a couple centuries, but those are just white people, right? You tolerate hatred because it's against the right people, and one day some innocent person is gonna die because that hatred is no big deal. Hate is hate, let's be done with it.
- factsaresacred 9y agoDo you have any idea how many 'whites' fled poverty, oppression, and worse, to come to America? The measure of offence is not based on how 'fussed' you, an individual, feel. Nor is it based on a myopic view of history in which 'whites' have never been victims and everybody else has.
