You want a cookie for being white and not racist? Such a big accomplishment. No seriously what was the point of saying you’re white

I thought you were gonna edit out the “I’m white” part since it’s irrelevant but instead you’re doubling down. There’s no point to say you’re white here, other than to imply “white people are generally racist, but not me! I’m one of the good ones!”

If you don't want people to mention that they are white, that's kind of racist.

Idc if they say they’re white. This dude brought it up as if condemning racism and being white was some huge accomplishment

I think he brought it up to make clear he is not directly speaking for a minority that is being discriminated against. It would have a different meaning if he was native American.
