Let's play Priviledged White or Asian Kid Mad Libs!

insert how someone you know is a minority, so you couldn't possibly be racist here I'm white and one time someone called me a insert anti-white epithet. Now that's really racist! I'm not a racist, because I've never used a term like that for someone. Yeah, like, when I walk into the neighborhood of people who don't look like me, I get nervous, but it's because they're so known for insert something "deviant" or criminal here.Seriously, doesn't everyone know that insert one, maybe two black people here did something racist once? That makes him or her, and therefore all people of his or her color, horribly racist! Hey, it's not my fault that slavery happened! Actually, I'd prefer if we'd all forget slavery happened. It was bad and wrong, and it made lots and lots and lots of black people poor and lots and lots and lots of white people rich. That lead to insert statistic supporting "deviant" or criminal behavior of people of color here, but I don't want to acknowledge the reasons for that, just the outcome, because it makes people with tans look worse than my ivory kin. I just want to pretend that because I don't agree with slavery, it doesn't affect us today.

Man, I'm not racist, but when black people suggest that I have a lot of unearned shit, it makes me so uncomfortable, I forget that when I go to apply for a job, my interviewer will probably be from my race and share a lot of my mannerisms, patterns of speech, and values. Sometimes I forget that the laws for prosecuting cases regarding crack cocaine are disproportionately more harsh than those regarding greater amounts of powdered cocaine, which are generally black and white drugs, respectively. If I'm really freaked out (like if they get in my face because maybe I called them "well-spoken", said I wanted to touch their hair, or suggested that they knew another person just because that person is black), I forget that I can always come on the internet and talk to a bunch of kids who, like me, are equally persecuted, just for being white.

insert Whitney-hate here



Alright seriously. I just wish people would try -just try!- to look at things from the perspective of people who didn't grow up just like them. I don't like when people dismiss the concerns of people of color, women, people with disabilities, whatever, just because they've never really given any thought to what it would be like to be in their position.

I should join the Fantastic Four. Flame on!
