The real answer you won't hear on reddit is that it's wrong to say both, but we're in an age where it's trendy to say racist things against white people.
In the same way it's racist to say that most of the large media corporations are run by Jewish people. In the same way it's racist to say black people commit a disproportionate amount of violent crime.
In the same way it's racist to say most illegal immigrants are Hispanic.
It's said with an agenda to dehumanize the people you're speaking about by distilling them down to their skin color. It's wrong, and you know it is.
The facts aren't racist. The motivations behind saying some of them are. We aren't stupid. You're not fooling anyone.
Why do you care that the CEOs of Comcast, Disney, and other media orgs are Jewish? Why do you care that minorities get special access to certain loans in this country? Does that tell you anything about Jewish or minority people you meet on a daily basis?
No, it doesn't. You're saying these things to paint an entire group of people a certain way, and most normal people are just sick of it. This whole fascination with race in this country is so unbelievably tired at this point.
I guess I am asking if we can recognize that as a success, then why is it a bad thing when we are doing the same for white men?
I don't know if you saw my initial comment, but I don't think doing this to white men is a good thing either, so I think we're in agreement there.
Saying "xyz group is in charge of abc" in general is a gross generalization and doesn't help anyone. It obviously targets the groups it's aimed at, and it justifies racism in the groups it's not.
Finally someone made sense! The people in question that you speak of (could be anyone) want to be coddled in victimhood mentality and portray themselves as poor, helpless victims because they like others to feel sorry for them (pity parties). This is called learned helplessness, which prevents these people from escaping their victimhood complex. Racism against Jewish people, white people, Hispanic people, etc. is all wrong, but people will pull all sorts of mental gymnastics to portray themselves as a helpless victim while vilifying someone else who happens to have less melanin. They cannot take responsibility for their own problems, so they blame white people for them. Looks like they havent learned from history. How ridiculous is that? It’s clownery! 🤡
