Also, the Vietnamese community near where I used to live really didn't like white people. As soon as you walked into a store, all the laughter and conversation would immediately die and the shop owner would just glare at you, like "The **** does this spoiled ******* want?"

Like I said before, I don't really care about this argument, I'm happy to just watch on the sidelines as you guys go back and forth. I just think your weird absolutes are funny. Of course people have been given **** purely for being white. If there is something about you that makes you different from other people, then just by virtue of being born the way you are someone out there immediately not only hates you but considers you to be the epitome of everything wrong with the world.

The problem isn't that all white people magically have a get out of jail free card in every situation, and never ever get followed or harassed (or even kicked the **** out of, and yes, it happens) just because of their skin. The problem is that minorities in the U.S.A. are overwhelmingly targeted and stereotyped in comparison.

Okay, you're right. In places where whites are the minority I have heard of whites being harassed by shop owners but not in the same kind of ways or to the same extent. I know somebody that moved where most people are black and they won't give you hair cuts or hire you if you're white. Which is very much a problem that doesn't get talked about. I'm not talking in absolutes even though it seems that way. More so that it's a lot less likely to happen in most of America because most of America is white.

I mean, yeah, the shit I've experienced is nothing compared to getting shot in the face twenty times just for walking around with a packet of skittles.

Tbh, all cop uniforms should have cameras embedded in them. And if any departments try that "Oops, we lost the footage, lol," crap, they should all be thrown off a cliff, and only the ones that can climb back up will be worthy to continue enforcing the law.

America's first President with an ambiguous gender and sexuality.

I think Bisexual male but I don't want to know because it ruins the secret.
