It’s called a joke buddy. Relax. I’m a fucking intern, that’s barely a job so no I don’t hate it. And the sex joke was bc u act like u need to take a chill pill which sounds like pent up frustration. Just because no one has been racist towards you doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist lmao. I’m not even a SJW but you’re an idiot if you don’t think that on the whole blacks/Hispanic/native Americans aren’t at a disadvantage to white people nationwide and especially in the finance industry

 

Props to Asians but to use Asians as a strawman to suggest Black people for example don't face racism is stupid

What's stupid is to say or insinuate--as the Left does--that America was built by, of, and for white people and that white supremacy is intertwined into all institutions while Asian people are the most successful race in America by far. Asian people are an inconvenient truth for the race-baiters--they undercut the entire premise of critical race theory and other race obsession. It's why the Left cherrypicks when Asians are considered to be "minorities."

Lol I didn’t think I’d have to spell this out for you but I can. First off, america was obviously built by mostly white people in power and that’s just a fact. Secondly, the reason why URM are disadvantaged and Asians aren’t si because it is completely different circumstances. Many Asians who are here are second generation immigrants whose parents were brought here through a work visa sponsorship meaning that they are highly qualified individuals and often in the middle to higher class in their respective countries or in respectable careers. Black people were enslaved , not allowed to read , and faced Jim Crow less than a century ago. Obviously they don’t have generational wealth or opportunities that many white people do. So they are disadvantaged naturally. Hispanic people are also disadvantaged because as Mexico is right next to the US, many Hispanics are of illegal immigrants descent meaning that they come from extremely low income housing and have very poor resources and access to resources so it’s a completely different wealth class of immigrants that come to America vs the type of class that comes form America from Asia

This is where your logic breaks down--America wasn't built by white people FOR white people. It was built by rich and powerful people for rich and powerful people who also happened to be children of the Enlightenment. Rich black people don't help poor black people. Rich Asians don't help poor Asians. And rich white people don't help poor white people. This idea that because there are powerful white people who run America that this somehow advantages the common white person is so laughably false and so devoid of any self-awareness (for someone who wants to work in FINANCE) that it absolutely takes the breath away.

Also, Vietnamese Americans, for example, who are largely South Vietnamese refugees from the Vietnam War and their progeny, do just about as well as white Americans in median income. These were not children of the Hong Kong elite--these are children of people fleeing mass murder coming from an impoverished country. (My Vietnamese barber told me one time that when he arrived in the U.S. in the 1970s he got 6 months of welfare and then was cut loose to rise and fall on his own.)

Once again, Asians completely undercut the myth that white supremacy is ingrained in all of America's institutions. Besides, all of America's most powerful institutions (Hollywood, mainstream media, music industry, Big Tech, gov't bureaucracy, public education, higher education, corporate America) are run by leftists, so if anyone is a white supremacist or white supremacist-adjacent it is the Democratic Party.

Knew a white guy, who is now a VP at a VC fund doing extremely well. He grew up in an extremely poor neighborhood, school was trash, and his mom actually died of a drug overdose. Dad was a POS who beat him. All he wanted to do was get out of his neighborhood and away from his dad. He was smart enough that he got into Georgetown and did well there. Went to a boutique IB and worked his way up. Great character and work ethic. One of the guys that leaves an impression on senior management. He then got pulled over to one of his tech company clients handling corporate strategy. Now he is in VC. He is white. While yes white people have a leg up based on skin compared to black people if you look at it as a whole, the reality is that everyones situation is different. My family mainly consists of immigrants and even I am willing to accept that white shaming has gotten out of hand.

 

Fighting racism =/ most Americans are racist

By the Left's own admission, anti-racism isn't anti-racism. "Anti-racism" is race-hatred toward white people in the name of fighting anti-black racism. This alleged anti-black racism can be proven by literally any words or actions, from an armed black person getting shot by a cop to a white girl attending an Antebellum (before the (Civil) war) party, as millions of people have innocuously done in the last 25 years. 

The reason we have so many race hoaxes in our age is because there is far more demand for racism than society can supply. There is so little overt racism that the ideologues have had to retreat to "unconscious" bias and microaggressions. It's like the vampire that lacks access to human blood reluctantly drinking animal blood.

I'm of African descent, and no I don't believe in white privilege. The sooner we stop making people feel guilty for the colour of their skin, the better.

This. We took racism - prejudice against another skin color, whatever it may be - and turned it into white people are evil. Even had to invent things like critical race theory to support this new insanity. How is this helpful?? People just hate each other more now.
