Depending on what you mean by 'directly', it's been fun to see people say people who look like me are "born to not being human" and another (a professor of education, to boot) assigning reading (not as a warning) saying "white people are born human but abused into whiteness". There's a TON of double standards. Asian people want to cater to their own interests? Understandable. Whites would want to do the same? The first question is "who do you hate?" as if that was the only possible motivation. If I went to America they'd call me a colonizer when only 150 years ago my ancestors couldn't even conduct their official business in their native language and some time later huge chunks of them were killed or taken into slavery by Russians - slavic people whose very fucking name means slave because they got oppressed that badly back in the day.

By "directly" I mean nobody has ever made, or tried to make, me feel bad about being a naïve [0] rich white dude. Plenty of other things about me (sexuality, politics, my facial hair, formerly my interest in paganism) lead to people trying to get at me, but not any of the issues normally associated with SJW. [0] I self describe as naïve here because of all the times I've had to update my world view because British history lessons lacked important details like "why did the Irish and the Indians not like British rule in the first place?" and "Kenyans and Cypriots literally took up arms against the British" and "Malta was under British rule and asked for a seat in Westminster".
