You are determined to start an argument where there is none. If you can't see that whites have been privileged to live their lives without harassment due to skin color then that's your problem. Stating facts is not racist....it's stating facts. I don't think anyone with one eye and half sense would quibble about whites being privileged. It's not my "opinion", it's a fact. Ever since this country was settled by mostly white Europeans, we have been the privileged ethnic group. Native Americans, blacks and Hispanics have not been so privileged. I have no "slant". But I have been lucky enough to be immersed in other cultures long enough to see a different perspective than others do and therefore I don't always have that knee-jerk reaction to 'Murica, right or wrong.I never said it was a change for good OR bad. I said it will be a change. How can you read into that something racist?It is certainly being presented here, and has been else where as a change for the good.
Yet, celebrating the decline of a whole race as a good thing, how is that not racist?
And could you also tell US why you think it is a good thing?
Your words.
".it's a fact that we blase' and privileged whites/caucasians will have to live with. I've been lucky to live among many different ethnic groups and the idea doesn't frighten me, but it will a lot of people."
YOu refer to whites in negative terms and state that WE may be frightened, but we have to live with it.
Your slant is obvious.
So, as I asked,
1. How is that not racist?
2. Why do you think it is a good thing?
Have we not been the privileged group? Have we not been blase' about how other ethnic groups cope with being discriminated against? Show me where I think it's a "good thing".
No, we have not been the privileged group, not in my lifetime.
No, we have not been blase' about how other ethnic groups cope with being discriminated against. Fighting against such discrimination has been the consensus of this nation, and it's white population for generations.
And your negative opinion about whites in this context shows that you think it is a good thing.
Now that we are past that.
So, as I asked,
1. How is that not racist?
2. Why do you think it is a good thing?
