Why is it wrong to be a white man in today's society? Coming from a Mexican man, I simply can't understand it.

    It kind of depends on the person you are, I think. My mom tends to use "old white guy" or "old white man" when she talks about politics.

    That's the thing, I was never raised to group people by their skin color, but rather by their personality.

    Maybe it's just backwards now, and I'm not up to the times of being "woke" about some dumb shit, but to me, skin color means nothing of value.

    Why is it wrong?

     

    1. Males are not females.

    2. Whites are not minorities.

     

    Combine the two, and ta-daaaaa...

     

    Doesn't mean much in most real-life situations (because most people don't care, see?), although there aren't exactly any scholarships for being a white male, y'know?

     

    I have the smug privilege of being a Native American in addition to being (and appearing) white.  If some SJW starts going off on me for being a white man, I have an Indian card that'll be happy to bitch-slap them. :P?

    Yup. I remember my dad, mom and I got pulled over for some tiny little driving choice my dad decided to make and my mom said that the police were racial profiling my dad because he looks browner in the summer with him being a Filipino (that means theres spanish in him, too) and greek mix. 

     

    What's funny is we live outside of Portland, Oregon and everyone including my family is pretty liberal. Not sure what the police were doing, maybe they had a slow day and were looking to do something? Not sure.

    @handymanshandle I believe that most people judge each other based on personality, as they should.  Every once in a while, though, you come across a stinker who is too shallow to do that.

    @Techstorm970 Did you just assume their gender and race? REEEEEEEEEEEEE

    It is very weird to say the least.  What I think is weirder is on some days I'm "whitesplaining" things yet I go outside in the summer and tan and suddenly I'm not?  What changed?  You can PM me more for the story on that one.

     

    I do think colleges do have a hand in it though making it seem as if only white people have committed atrocities in history because that somehow takes a critical look at history and is more "academic" and groundbreaking.  While ignoring that all humans regardless of location, race, or nationality have committed atrocities against each other ever since cave men learned how to use rocks...but heaven forbid you ever bring that up...
