    OP isn’t ignorant because they’re white, they’re ignorant because of the impact of their social economic class on their education, life experience, and world view.

    Your comment opening with:

    “Leave it to a white person to…” Is blatant racism.

      Thats a good explanation. I’m saving that for future use. It seems easier to empathise with these people when you understand that they’re a product of their environment and as much victims of the system as anybody else.

      Yeah but it’s the cool kind of racism that’s allowed so it’s okay!

      If I can be racist against my very own (according to the 23 and me dealy i got for Christmas 4 years ago) kind, than you know what? Fine I’ll take that. White people, especially Americans who feel the need to preamble that with some other European nation like it was an additional qualifying ethnicity, suck. I dislike them. It’s like, ooh look at me I’m extra white. Fuck that. They are attention seeking children and a net negative for society.
