    “fellow whites”, as if people alive today had anything to do with it. That’s racism, and I hope you can do better.

      And yet we benefit from it every single day all the same, while throwing out hands up and screaming “that isn’t on me!”

      We’re not responsible for what happened to them then, but we are responsible in what we do about it now. Turning away that responsibility while continuing to reap the benefits is racism.

        Instead of just calling it “bullshit”, can you please tell me why you disagree?

          Because a white guy making fun of white guys isn’t racism. It shouldn’t need to be explained. And that’s just the very basest level of why it isn’t racist.
