Anti-White Racism as a Minority

Identity Politics makes society more divided, and not surprisingly, more tribal. A divided society makes life miserable, which is why it's so unpopular in the mainstream. Radicals in America react to the constant stream of Identity Politics, being fed from the scapegoating and racial harassment. This causes racial groups band together and increases the division. If we stop Identity Politics people will become less tribal and society will be less miserable.

Unless the goal is to cause division and chaos and make everyone miserable...
Someone who is complaining about "racism against white people" is usually just a white racist trying to justify his own racism against various other colors.

And I'm saying this as a white guy, just to be sure. My life is fine. Racism against white people is a complete fiction.

1. This thread was created by a mixed race person who experience racism as both an Asian and a white
2. You are making sweeping assumptions about what motivates people to discuss certain political ideas
3. "Reverse-racism" is still racism. It's possible to express racism towards whites and definitely not a "myth"

> And I'm saying this as a white guy, just to be sure. My life is fine. Racism against white people is a complete fiction.

There are mainstream policies that discriminate against Race--which is illegal in America--but somehow still remain law. Last year our Supreme Court ruled against "Affirmative Action", which explicitly discriminated against Asians, Jews, whites and other groups. We still have "Racial Quotas" that are explicitly racist. These policies are not based on Liberalism or Enlightenment Philosophy, but rather on a Marxist interpretation of race relations.

There is a deeper discussion here about ethics and legal rights.
Of course the side targeting White Asians with derogatory words like King Flu is not dividing. Some of my White Asians friends are discriminated because of their Last Name that is nothing like Catholic or WASP. If they're lucky enough to get hired they will have lower probability than me to get promoted in the business hierarchy. Also they'll be the first victims of spending cuts.

I do not know why someone can assume simple explanation for suicide exists?!

>Over all, the C.D.C. report found higher suicide rates in rural America than in medium/small and large metropolitan counties. Most gun deaths in America are suicides, not murders, and white men are more likely to own a gun. The C.D.C. report said rates of suicide by gun in rural counties were “almost two times that of rates in larger metropolitan counties.”

>The group with the highest suicide rate
>Suicide rates are highest among Native American and Alaska Native populations: 21.8 per 100,000 people.

Alright white guy, shut up, you're a evil oppessor and you shouldn't be allowed to talk on lichess, all white people are racist, privileged, homophobic.

Are you stupid?
How on earth comparing teams pay has to anything with that post, even if it was racist, that has zero connection with 99.9% of people, it is so important that some random top elite team doesn't get 500000£ instead 475000£ because someone prefered some other team, sure it isn't fair but life was never fair and compared to other equalities, you should be happy that this is you get from life, instead cleaning dishes for minimum wage. Atleast make a comparason to problems of average people not for top elties with have better than 99.99% that's a true inequality right here btw. And when I'm going to treat your argument seriously

The problem of average peoples might be the result of those elites ruling the world, the Politics or Professional Sports.

Usually the privileged elites at the top are making sure that things won't get easier for the so called average folks.
