Related: About this forumI don't see any white privilege, do you?
Now all of a sudden, were the bad guys. Ungrateful brown immigrant children demand soap and toothbrushes. Navajos and Cherokees keep bitching about how we stole their land (shouldve had better guns, Chief!), and black people run around demanding reparations for slavery, like just because you were kidnapped, dragged here, forced to pick cotton for 250 years, then had to sit in the back of the bus, and still cant get a bank loan, well, thats not my fault.
