How so? Can you elaborate? I am white and don’t feel as though anyone is oppressing me because of that fact.
I'm white and queer. There's only one of those characteristics that gets me abused, threatened and made to feel uncomfortable and it's not white.
So I know this isn't going to be popular, but... I lived in Saudi Arabia at 14. White people were targeted for kidnapping and rape continually, and no, not only women. Men too.
I myself was very close to having both happen multiple times and escaped by pure panic and luck. My father and I were nearly killed by police with assault rifles because they wanted a bribe from my Dad. We were forced to drive into the desert at gunpoint to a "second location."
This was not unusual for the expats.
I also went to school in Cincinnati and had the shit beaten out of me multiple times because I was white.
Racists no matter who they are racist to are fucking gross and I'm sorry you had to go through what you did. Please don't think your experience applies worldwide though. Being white, gay, black, brown, trans, or damn near anything in some places is fucking dangerous.
Ditto. Usually when I realise I'm white it's because other white people are being dumb and out of touch and I'm embarrassed by them.
Caucasity is a hell of a way to wake up to the realities of race in this country
Caucasian+audacity, in case anyone else is unfamiliar with the term.
Why? Having correlary traits in common with someone doing something dumb isn't embarrassing.
Andrew Tate doesn't make me embarrassed to be a man, he's just embarrassing himself (and anyone who chooses those views are doing the same). We are individuals.
