  A small number of people hold lots of wealth and power. Most white people, male or female, are not Jeff Bezos. When you start generalizing based on skin color and gender, that's the actual dictionary definition of racism and sexism.

  > White males hold a lot of power in society, so -- as a group -- What about > Muslim men commit a lot of terrorist acts, so -- as a group -- this entire line of thinking is the definition of racism and sexism. You take some tiny minority (people in power, people committing terrorist acts, etc) and extrapolate the traits of that tiny group onto some giant group based solely on some immutable trait, where the people in that giant group have nothing to do with it except that they happen to have the same immutable trait.

  The implication that they hold that power because they are white men´, with the addition that there is nothing even tangible to the comment, it's impossible to disprove because there are no specifics to what "power" even means. One could make similar comments like "Most corporate issues are caused by white women" or "Asian women hold the most societal power" or "Black men are the most favoured by their families", there is nothing to these comments but prejudice.

    Thanks for elaborating. In the future I'll try to be more specific.

      Thank you, sir. If I may also suggest, you could also try being actually factually correct in your initial assertions in the future. In the United States, White men are pretty middling in terms of per-capita power[1]. If you really intend to make the correct selections for the racial Revolution, it's those goddamned Taiwanese-Americans, Brahmin Indians, Jews[2], and Filipinos you need to line up against the wall first. I think you have a solid plan, dehumanizing the most successful groups. Pol Pot and Hitler were pretty effective at this, and I'm sure you have a good shot of doing it too. I'm just a little sad that authentic Thai food will go away before I get the bullet.
