"White" isn't a race. There is no such thing as biological races [1]. Discrimination against "black" people happens on the basis of legacy concepts of "race". There is no discrimination in absence of access/power differences.

(Yes, some "black" people don't get the race part either. And yes, some of them are dicks. And yes, Twitter sucks.)

Americans love talking about “white” and “race”, but just substitute “irish american” or any ethnicity you want. It still surprising that it’s allowed.

And you think it may be just a translation problem...

But then you see this comment section and they actually mean it in a sense of biological essentialism. Figure, how much you have to unpack in every damn discussion... I would shoot myself twice, every day.

Da ist der Wurm drin.
