I agree. I wish my country would stop teaching that individuals the government racialize as white people are privilidged due to historic advantages when they certainly were not with these advantages. It's in such poor taste too when my own government will say that with a straight face, when it spent decades interning, abusing, enslaving, rapeing, and murdering various people it racializes as white.

I feel society in North America is coated in a deep amount of racism towards individuals racialized as white. They are often blamed for the problems of every other group of people, and they are told their problems do not in any capacity matter. This racism is so pervasive it is often internalized by individuals who are racialized as white and they themselves can be the biggest perpetrators of this racism. When any amount of equal playing field is asked for, or accountability for the actions of others is asked for, they are often told this is racism. Attempts to establish equality feels like oppression to so many people.

It's definitely not real. People cannot have systemic privilige due to their race when their race has systemic discrimination against it in hiring and employment, aswell as a ton of social discrimination against it. It definitely cannot have historic privilige either when many of the individuals racialized as white were victims of systematic and systemic rape, murder, enslavement and theft by their own government, which has admitted to these being acts of genocide by said government. Or historic social discrimination, like the KKK lynching and murdering them for their race and ethnicity.
Thanks for being part of the problem.
