In America white people are never reminded of being white but anyone who isn't white is always reminded of their non whiteness. That seems racist to me. It's as if being white is just the default, and being anything else is seen as 'different'.
Lol white people don't really remind each other of being white but people who aren't white do like to point out "white" qualities when white people show them. Maybe not in your social circle but I hear these things fairly frequently. Most are in humor and the rest well, everyone has some shit to say about someone I guess.
As a white man: I'm so sorry, it's my fault, everything is my fault and I'm sorry.
I personally think the opposite is true in our current culture of douchebaggery. Political correctness is the scourge of the modern age! I'm so damn tired of entitled, hypocritical, leftist dirt bags hating on white people especially straight, white men! The worst ones are the self-hating, ultra left wing whites.
America is a particularly racist country. Everyone seems to define themselves as some race or other over there.
That's what happens. They are the majority. Try being white in Japan or Kenya.
this is so vague i don't knoe how to comment. How are other races reminded they are what they are and how are whites not.
Honestly with a post this vague and controversial you sound ignorant.
There too many white people in da world man. White people glow in the dark, man. Green people is cool. Green people da sneakiest.
Whichever race is the majority or has the most influence gets to be default. That's just the way it is.
5 years ago+ I probably would've disagreed with you and said what most of these commenters have said but honestly, you are right. Almost every person I encounter is white. Almost everyone on t.v is white, almost every cultural reference is 'white' and white people act all offended when anything other than what they are comfortable with is even slightly interrupted. Putting a 'colored' show on primetime t.v is 'shoving p.c down our throats'. OK then, go sit down and watch BET for a week straight and see how you feel. What if BET was ALL there was to watch? If you don't relate to it because you don't identify with it, are you a p.c prick for complaining and wishing for something you DO identify more with?
Ohhh boo hoo why's there BET but no WET? Because every other channel is WET.
Grow up. Not you, the other posters.
I've been reminded of being white including being told the obvious, "You're just a white girl...".
they get to personal and it becomes a thing around you. others will point it out because you may stand out as asian or white but they get over it.
