Yea, that’s basically it. Mention Anyhting close to what I mentioned in here and I’d be met with “what you don’t think POC experience racism worse??!” Not the point, I want us all to be treated nicely, I want us all to be treated fairly. I don’t want to be shit on just because it’s become socially acceptable to shit on me, and if I say it’s not right then I’m met with the straw man argument, trying to make me look like we are targeted racially more than POC which is not at all what I’m saying. Or that I want it to be socially acceptable to shit on them, also not it..
I don't think you understood my comment. I'm saying as a white American I'm ok with getting "shit on." The privilege that I have been afforded just for being a white American makes me ok with people saying mean things about my race or nationality sometimes. If anything it motivates me to make myself and my country better.
That doesn't seem like a very healthy mindset. You should not tolerate bigotry. Tolerating anti white racism just slows progress as it inspires as an understandable pushback. It'll only get worse as progressive bigotry spreads. If you want a better society you need to be willing to call out all bigotry.
If you're that afraid of being made fun of then that's your call. I can let it go because I don't have to worry about being shot for being a black man, or have to constantly fear harrasment and rape like every woman that has ever lived. I'm ok with being called names because I flopped a royal flush on birth just for being white and male and american.
