Nah but for real, Challenger is right. You don't see Asians looting and robbing and blaming white people. Even though they arguably, had it just as bad as blacks in america. Same as the Irish.

To say otherwise is just ignorance of basic American history. Blacks were treated like shit for the majority of Americas existence. And that was just under the law.

And that was just under the law.Irish and Asian immigrants were basically slaves long after slavery was abolished, and 70 years ago we literally rounded up Japanese and Chinese Americans and put them in camps because we didn't trust them. It's not a pissing content, but it is apparent that Asians assimilated much faster than blacks, despite institutional racism for both groups.
"Why do black people always make it about race?" These are the kinds of moments that threaten to ruin my day

And when asked to define it, the author throws out the pathetic analogy to asking a fish to describe water -- we're so used to it we don't even see it. How convenient.If white privilege is genuine, why the fuck would white people do anything about it?Shit man, I want to make life easier for myself, not harder.
