> I'd say the media is playing both sides except you all can't deny that there is systemic discrimination against white people in multiple countries' law books right now, in 2023.
Sure I can. Many of the laws cited as "discrimination against white people" in North America and Europe are either things like affirmative action or laws to the effect of "don't be a dick to minorities". As a white guy I've never felt disadvantaged by such laws, but maybe I'm just made of sterner stuff than people that claim to represent "western values" and prattle on about how weak men are these days.
- zo1 3y agoThe older I get, the less "turn the other cheek" I feel like being towards bullies, and that's what this is, bullying. I want to leave a fair and equitable world for my (white) children, not one filled with hatred and racism. And to answer your point, I say this in the context of an african country where white people are a minority and yet still discriminated against with laws passed by a "democratic" government. Of course, it's all under the guise of "Affirmative Action" and "Black Economic Empowerment", giving it that "noble" aura of "fairness". Meanwhile the country burns as the laws enrich the elite, keep the black people poor, make the white people poorer, and ultimately cause everyone to blame everyone else.
