  See, the toxicity of this is that, were the facts in support of your obvservation, it would cause many to completely ignore whatever I'd said as "typical white male privileged bullshit." Don't you understand how much damage that type of thinking does, and how it's as bad as the progress we've been trying to make against, for example, dismissing a woman's opinions out of hand because they're a woman's? Don't turn try to turn back the clock on equality, especially in a medium where ideas actually can stand on their own merits (or lack thereof).

    I find that white people complain the most about racial categorizations... but also talk about racial categorizations the most. And who made up the categories, and laws that discriminated based on categories, and who still holds the power to use those categories. It's largely white people. It seems to me like denial, hypocrisy, or both. (I say that as a person of color. Being Asian, I am a relatively privileged color, too, compared to black and brown people. That's just a fact. At the individual level, though, I know plenty of black and brown people who not only have more privilege than I, but grew up with more than I did and have networks that are more powerful than mine.)
