>You've probably never watched a video of a race debate/relations type of meeting that's not designed to be PC or have white apologetic speakers...
So there's a video that says bad things about people who look like you, and this upsets you? Is this video on the internet, where everyone can see it?
But in all seriousness, my primary point here is that identifying with your race? it's a class marker. A low class marker. Socioeconomic class matters more (in terms of how others treat you) than race. A lot more. (some would say that the two are related, and there certainly is a correlation, but in the end, green is the color that matters.)
My secondary point is that I've never seen serious real-world discrimination against white folk, so quit your whining. (I mean, yes, we're all a little bit racist. I'm just saying, I've not seen /serious/ discrimination against white people. Nobody acts weird when someone shows up for an interview, and turns out he's white.)
