The idea that white people are the ones being oppressed, and scrutinized more than an actual minority is preposterous! As an American white male I am afforded privileges that most minorities cannot have. White people are generally treated better than most, as we have been the majority and therefor have become used to a set of customs, which is really just a myth. White people have been treated better because we were the ones who oppressed everyone else, be it wiping out the Native Americans, forcing blacks into slavery, or the crack epidemic tied with the Reagan years. White Americans who suddenly feel targeted ones, honestly should feel bad for the things that our race has done, however we should celebrate our differences through diversity, and tolerance. True, the recession did scare a lot of whites, as mentioned it hurt us financially and psychiatrically because we had not had the playing field at a economically level ground. So those who feel like we are falling from grace, and say it's a principle, not racism, I have two things to say to you; It's probably about time we let someone else rule the world for a while, we messed things up so terribly, how can anyone do worse. Secondly, I think it's vital as human beings to evolve, not just from single cells to more advanced stages of life, but to evolve emotionally, and mentally. If we can embrace change as a positive, that interracial couples make some damn cute babies, that people are on a core level all the same, thus deserve the same, equal opportunities, regardless of our race, creed, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ect. We are all unique in our own ways, yet we are all put on the same rock, spinning around space together, for a certain amount of time, we are all going to die in less than a 100-120 years, this is fact. So we must embrace what little time we are given, and accept that things are universal, all humans are beautiful.
