TBH this sounds almost like internalized racism, but the other way around. We're not our ancestors, but still we need to remember that we're prone to their mistakes.
Also this looks condescending
Even though I came from a working class family from the West, I still have a fuck of white privilege. Having to hear "fuck white ppl" like 2x a year barely comes close to what non-white people have faced.
DID COLONIALISM AND GENOCIDE NOT FUCKING HAPPEN?!?!?
Honestly, how would you like it phrased??? Oh please sir, care more about Palestine than your ego.
It is happening right now, but somehow we focus on past events and some abstract guilt
No, the reason it's relevant is because white people still benefit overwhelmingly from the colonization that still happens. In addition, racism towards white people isn't possible in imperial core nations because they are overwhelmingly white supremacist. Bigotry can in specific cases happen against white people but racism requires the backing of culture at large, bigotry is individualized while racism is systematic.
