Is it normal that i feel guilty for being white?

I'm not actually white, mind, I'm half-Asian. But I look white, and people often think that I'm 100 percent white. So I'm effectively a Caucasian girl.

I feel guilty for being white because people are constantly telling me how lucky I am, and how I have it easier than everyone else. I feel like I'm not doing any work, and still getting more out of life than better minority people. Does anyone else feel the same way?

    You shouldn't feel guilty for stuff that other white people have done - they're not you. People will tell you that you should feel ashamed about being part of the same race as Hitler, but that's just playing the race card at you - it's a manipulative and it means nothing.
    How many black people are ashamed to belong to the same race as Idi Amin? How many Asians feel ashamed to belong to the same race as Pol Pot? How many latinos feel ashamed to belong to the same race as Pablo Escobar?

    why do you have to feel guilty for that?
    you should only feel guilty for things you actually do.

    if anyone tries to make you feel bad because of your skin color... it's time you opened your eyes and realized THEY are the racists

    "White privilege" is a myth. Pure and simple.

    People are dumb/don't think, plain and simple. My grandma asked me if I was racist against white people (I'm half white half Asian) because my moms family were rude to her and her daughter (They're white, moms family - Asian) awhile back.

    You should feel guilty it certainly is partly your responsibility and fault that we colored folk was enslaved and forced to pick cotton 300 years ago.

    Its all you white folks fault.
