Probably true. So we fight them. It stinks and it sucks, but it's on all of us to do so to the best of our ability and those of us who were dealt a more fortunate set of life's lottery balls (and I say this as an affluent, straight, white, cis American) have a duty to use our good fortune to help others.



I want to help others. I also don't think it's a prerequisite to turn every majority white country minority white to help others.


Isn't considering yourself lucky for being white a somewhat racist viewpoint? Perhaps you have more in common than you thought.


The "if you acknowledge racism exists, then you're the real racist!" argument has never held water before.
