[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people saying “it’s racist to categorize people at all” sound to me like naive and defensive adolescents. If you are white, the world treats you differently — even if you are a single parent, have a substance abuse problem, are poor, whatever. If you are white, how many times have you been pulled over while driving? Been followed in a store? Had someone clutch their purse when you got on an elevator with them? Had people cross the street when they see you coming? Your blindness to these things is part of the problem.[/quote]

Oh my gosh yes I’ve been pulled over for being white, had negative assumptions made about me because of my perceived privilege and race like that I wasn’t going to be coming back to work after I had a child a job that I needed very very badly, called racial epithets like cracker and worse.  Does it really help anyone to play the who’s the bigger victim card? Why is it so hard to admit that if whites have some so-called privilege so do people of other races? As many posters have pointed out it’s not a golden ticket to be white.   Many white people struggle have been victims of racism classism or discrimination for a disability etc.  The world may treat you differently when you ate white sometimes for the worse sometimes for the better and if you’re black the same thing applies especially in Washington DC land of the Uber left and alt political correctness elite.[/quote]
