What I say is judge a person by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. (props, MLKjr) And that means if they're a piece of shit, no matter the color of their skin, then they're a piece of shit. And if they're a decent person, then they deserve to be treated as one.

Wouldn't the same thing happen to white people in African/Asian countries?
Yeah, I know someone (white) who used to live in Japan and they treated like shit. (This was probably about 10-20 years ago however, but I'd imagine the problems are still there as they are in the west.)

Actually being male and white is more of a liability these days than anything. You get screwed with job quotas even if you're the most qualified candidate. You don't get the sweetheart deals on collage entrance and student loans that non whites get. There's myriad programs and preferences you don't qualify for including small business loans and govenment contracts. Is suggest if you're while that you go and scour your family tree for some black or native American blood.

Everyone knows that being born white in the western world is basically winning the lottery of life. But nowadays racism is very much a borderline issue - only the backwards retards who will never change their opinion, no matter what campaigns they are exposed to, are actually racist. Any sane human being is rather more accepting of people who are a different race to them.
To make this related to video games: has everyone seen how Bioshock Infinite is going to tackle America's VERY racist past? Should be decidedly interesting.

From what I've read, Japanese opinion towards foreigners hasn't improved much.

Really the whole "racial privilege" is just if you're a minority in a country. It just so happens that the more powerful nations are predominantly white hence the term "white privilege".

Being white is being white. Racism has nothing to do with skin color, it's just the mentality of people who creates racism.

Affirmative action. absolute racism right there.
In state Caucasians applying to popular colleges get sacked to the back of the line, behind out of state Caucasians, in state Blacks, and Out of state blacks. my sister applied for USC(University of south carolina) denied with a 3.8 GPA and near-perfect S.A.T scores because A black woman from North carolina applied with a 3.4 GPA And average S.A.T scores, We took it to court and guess what? They won because affirmative action is LEGAL,

TL;DR: Caucasians who live in the same state as their chosen college/university have a slim chance of getting in because of affirmative action.

You don't honestly believe this, do you?
Affirmative action exists to counterbalance these differences. Quit yo bitching.

So true I have a 87 average total for HS, and the Bill Gates scholarship they give you have to have a 90+ average, but if you are Black/Hispanic then you only need an 85+ average. Totally not fair, and the score they need to pass the mcat's is much lower then a white person needs.

If you want to live here, the least you could do is learn our language...

I'm was born and raised a poor Mexican. No one ever gave me anything. I busted my ass and am now comfortably living in a decent house and supporting my family. But I do know...in the back of your mind...after learning this of me...you're thinking...

Out of interest, given the news that White British people are now in the minority in London, are there any major North American cities that have a similar demographic?

yes and no... because of our problems of illegal immigrants white probably is now the minority, in quite a few cities.... but without anyway to count we cant say for sure....

ADD: and being white doesn't really do much anymore... unless you're white and born into money... (the 1%) we all basically are screwed over the same

You're absolutely right. Everyone in the world has a brown eye, regardless of skin colour, gender or religious affiliation.





*probably an inappropriate place for an arse joke.
Congratulations on deforming my words, I guess.
