I don't think whites are under attack

I think that all races have the ability to be racist but only white people are just assumed to be racist. It’s sad.

I think these people are afraid of being treated the way whites in history have treated everyone else. It is a scary thought.

You friend is racist and seems most likely limited in intelligence. You should chose better friends.

A classic move by authoritarian politicians who want to manipulate the masses is to convince them that they're under attack, and that only one powerful man (and it is virtually always a man) can save them.

As it happens, I came across a quote of something Trump said back in March 2016 when the political establishment on both sides considered him an amoral blowhard without a chance: “Real power is – I don’t even want to use the word – fear.”

The man is a total asshat and the depth of his ignorance on almost every topic you can name is astonishing, but he clearly has an instinctive understanding of how to manipulate people. (Possibly learned from his father who was just as big a jerk.)

Research has found that those on the political right have one major psychological difference from those who have progressive views: the conservatives are more fearful. They see the world as a place filled with countless hazards and they consider their position in it very precarious. So if someone comes along and spews some crap about how they're under threat by some shadowy group or contrails or 5G radio waves or vaccines or people with darker skin or fluoride in the water or some other damn thing that they know fuck-all about, that validates their world-view, reinforces their paranoia and tends to pull them deeper down the rabbit hole of delusion.

I don't think there's anything you can do to help these people. You can't argue them out of their position, because they're too invested. Their sloppy thinking habits mean logic and hard evidence don't matter to them, and if they don't dismiss you as just a sheeple or a flat-out agent of evil, they'll go through all sorts of absurd mental contortions to justify their beliefs with phoney data and ridiculous conspiracy theories.

About the only thing you can do is to try to prevent others from starting off down that dark path. If you hear someone musing that some alt-right wingnut might be making a good point, don't hesitate to express a contrary opinion.

It's true, to a degree. It's politically trendy to attack white people now, atleast from the left.

Its just that diversity is only being called for in white countries. You dont hear them calling for diversity in places like india, asia, africa. Its only white countries. Also they media constantly talks about white countries being "white supremacy" but you never hear the media say asia is "asian supremacy" or africa is "black supremacy".

In a country where the majority is white, I don't think you can understand it. Visit Africa's Southern part and witness the hate, but go as a normal person without limitless money to spend.

They have been in parts of Africa in recent years. Not under attack where I live though.

Who thinks they are looool

White isn't a pure race and they immigrated from Europe wtf

At that point I would just shake my head and walk away. Funnily enough though out of all the jobs I've held I've had more white coworkers in shitty paid jobs. At my current job (17$ plus benifts) whites are the minority. It's rather intriguing
