From a certain non-white focused community:
Does it make me sound raceist that I don't like white people? I have my reasons not to like them....
God, damn, this just pisses me off. People rag and rag on whites for stereotypes, power games, bigotry, and all that shit, but get lumped into one great big "them" category by ethnic minorities. Hypocrite much?
Excuse the fuck out of me for not having been born with your special cross to bear, bitch! Nevermind that I have my own, including asswipes like you who just take one look at me and assume I somehow have some great privilege and advantage because I'm white.
If I have this great white privilege, where's my college degree, house in the suburbs that I own, car less than 5 years old, fat stock portfolio, and 6 figure income? Seriously, if I were a young, able bodied white male, from a rich family, I might be said to have "white privilege". But that's not me.
Yeah, some folks in some areas are assholes, judging people by their skin color, but not everyone does that everywhere. So get off the damned persecuted minority cross, we need the wood!
Seriously, if you don't like racism, stereotypes and bigotry, don't practice them yourself. What's so fucking hard about that?

Giving people a by on that because of the color of their skins is condescension. It's not kind, and it's not a matter of "white people being more dispassionate about these things." Prejudiced is prejudiced, Nation of Islam members standing in Times Square calling whites the devil are committing hate speech, and racism is racism. Period. What kind of favor does one do anyone by saying "Oh, you can't be expected to be rational/not a hypocrite"?
Bah. Yes, I know people get tenure for espousing this kind of claptrap. But they also get tenure for saying males are responsible for all the ills in the world. And at some institutions, for denying evolution. Doesn't mean I respect it or them.
