> White Americans have never experienced oppression in America. Full stop. Europeans typically are not racialized and do not identify as white, instead as Italian, German, etc. This discussion is obviously about whites in the US.
Wow, this is an incredibly stupid comment.
If you simply looked at the history of Italian and Irish immigrants you would know so.
- jjeaff 4y agoItalian and Irish were not considered "white" at the time. They were oppressed by the white majority. Lucky for them, after assimilation into American culture, they became impossible to distinguish from the white majority and so their persecution was relatively short lived.
- LunaSea 4y ago> was relatively short lived Well besides all that canal digging and train track building you know. And even after all this oppression they managed to succeed.
