I am a high school teacher. I have colleagues that, quite literally, tell their white students they're racist, privileged, and living on stolen land. Those same teachers have said they're "saddened" by how many white students there are in the school, and have told white students to "step aside" and let BIPOC students "have their turn." If anyone tells me there's no racism toward whites, I now laugh in their face. It is *endemic.*

I'm white (originally from the UK) and in 1992 I was living in a car with a room mate in Toronto Canada. I decided that it wasn't what I wanted out of life and moved to the Northwest Territories to earn enough to go to engineering school. Once I had the money I found out that there were no scholarships or bursaries open to me due to my race and sex. Paid my way through 2 engineering programs and worked in telecommunications for 6 years living on what the Canadian government allows you to keep out of your paycheck. Moved to the US in 2005 and have lived in 4 states since then always ready to move for the next opportunity. To then have people insinuate that it was somehow easier because of my race is insulting. I have been told that I have white privilege by people that have done very little to better their situation.

No other race is condemned as a whole because of the actions of a portion. Other races are actually exempted from racism because only whites can be racist. And because we are, in fact, the dominant culture in Europe and North America, no one is interested in hearing our complaints.

In hindsight do you understand why people gave you a hard time about being forced to wear a mask? Do you feel now that customers wearing mask actually did anything? Here in the Houston area a few school districts defied the governors ban on mask mandates and made students wear them anyway. The difference in cases was only 2% Later on stadiums were packed with people not wearing mask even though there was a mandate. It made no difference in the number of cases. Sadly some people will never stop wearing mask. I see Asians making their kids wear them when they won't even have them on.

I married a black man. I have never been judged more on the color of my skin than by his black family and friends. It is overlooked because people argue the critical race theory angle that racism is predicated on the position of power one has in a society. But to assume that all white people hold a similar power in the same society is a very biased way of thinking. Also to assume that black people hold no power in our society is to be so very blind. I would like to be friends with my husband's friends, but I know that when I am not there, his second family, the unrelated people he stays with on a long distance job will tell him how they don't like white people and they don't like his wife, why did he marry a white person?

Of course whites are going to have more wealth because poor immigrants who have nothing arrive from poor countries but if you see INCOME instead of wealth ASIANS are doing better than whites (see link below) and at some point they will have more wealth than whites over time. If white people are so racist, how come Asians are doing better than whites in income and in education???? (there are more Asians in Universities than their share of the population just because they are better in school, plain and simple).

[@subotnai1]

It is not family wealth that equals racism.. I think you're missing the point of the lecture.. the point here is to look at things from all perspectives.. Here are some key ways in which generational wealth can influence the accumulation of equity: Easier Access to Capital Home Ownership: Those with generational wealth often have easier access to the capital needed for a down payment on a home. Home ownership is one of the most common ways people build equity. Investment: Having extra capital allows individuals to invest in various forms of equity, like stocks, bonds, or businesses, which can grow over time. Education: Generational wealth can enable better educational opportunities, which in turn can lead to better-paying jobs and more opportunities to build equity. Lower Financial Risks Credit Score: People with generational wealth often have the financial support to maintain good credit scores, which can make it easier to take out loans for homes, cars, or education at lower interest rates. Risk Tolerance: With a financial safety net, individuals can take calculated risks like starting a business, which could potentially offer high equity returns. Long-term Planning Estate Planning: Generational wealth allows for more effective estate planning, including the transfer of assets that can benefit future generations. Tax Benefits: Wealthy families often have the resources to hire experts to minimize tax liabilities, thereby preserving more of their wealth to pass down. Socioeconomic Mobility Networking: Wealth often provides access to social networks that can offer opportunities for further wealth and equity accumulation. Job Opportunities: The connections and educational opportunities afforded by generational wealth can lead to better job opportunities, making it easier to build equity. Potential Downsides Income Inequality: The accumulation of generational wealth can exacerbate income and wealth inequality, as those without such advantages may find it much harder to build equity. Economic Stagnation: Extreme concentrations of wealth can lead to economic inefficiencies and less upward mobility in society, which can have a broader impact on the economy. Public Policy Implications Taxation: Policies like inheritance taxes aim to redistribute generational wealth to lessen inequality. Affordable Housing and Education: Public policies that make housing and education more accessible can help those without generational wealth build equity. In summary, generational wealth can have a significant impact on an individual's ability to build present equity. It provides a financial head start that can make it easier to invest, take risks, and plan for the future. However, it also raises important questions about inequality and social mobility.

As a group asian Americans make better decisions that make them more competitive in the marketplace. It's all cultural. Some people have cultures that lead to habits that lead to better outcomes.

[@0num4]

I don't think this prof is hand waving anything or pushing a narrative. He's asking questions and using data as demonstrations, forcing the students *and himself* to think about these issues. This is merely a few snippets from a much longer lecture, which is a part of a 15 or 16 week semester, which comprises one of multiple classes toward the university's Sociology program. You should watch the entire lecture, if not the semester's worth, before casting stones.

Exactly! Asians are also more likely to have two parent households. There is a direct correlation between this and school performance.

Discrimination, by definition, is not wrong and quite normal. We discriminate most things all day long (it's how we logically categorize and make choices).

Well, when you see modern movie castings, fashion cataloges, representative jobs of large companies, you see that it is suspiciously filled with "the right kind of people", to get a "diverce" cast. *Race, Gender, political views, etc... shouldn't be an issue* The quality of the actor, writer, employee, model should be the only thing of importance! Everything else is racism, sexism and anti individualism. I know first hand that race specific casting is a reality for fashion promotion. When it was once most important to find the best match for model and fashion article, it now is crucial to fill race quotas. *Do we really need an expert opinion on this? Racism! That's what it is!* Of course, some roles require race/ gender/ height, etc... specific casting. No question. And a White guy has no place in a "the history of the early Zulu empire" movie, as much as a black guy doesn't fit into a "British mythology" movie. Or male models for female cloths... of coure not! And nobody argues with that! But look arround, it's evident, that they are not casting for quality, but for Agenda. Ghostbusters, The 13th doctor, Star Wars - The last Jedi, Are sad examples for bad acting, bad writing, and mediocre people being casted soely because of their race, gender and political views! *That's Racism, Sexism and discrimination and thus I despise it! *

Its a Black woman using a Swiffer Sweeper or McDonalds ...they are represented by a higher rate vs their population percentage than any other group and we all know these corporations are doing this by design. Falling all over themselves hoping to be "diverse" and "inclusive". Native Americans are the ones who are almost non-existent in TV commercials. Why...arent they minorities too ? Heck, Asian-Americans are under represented compared to Black commercial actors. All the George Floyd protests and BLM protests AND the looting that came from that, corporations are now wanting to put their so called best foot forward in Black relations. Sometimes you'll get 6 commercials in a row now. Then you get the boycott of the OSCARS...and now we have Black Panther and African superhero movies coming out of Hollywood every few months...and their raking in the $$$.

This kind of thing is happening in South Africa too. Universities have quotas by race that must be equal to the population. So to gain entry the standards are lowered or raised depending on the race of the student. So the students that have to work harder to get are also the students that come out top of their class when finishing and these are mostly other races and not black. Now the top students that are coming out of universities are finding jobs because they are the top. Companies also have to adhere to this quota. So once they have filled the other race quotas they have to fill the rest of the jobs with black people to make up the quota but they are not as productive as they may not understand their jobs as easily die to the fact that they didn't have to try as hard to gain a degree. So the companies then have to employ more people to complete a task thus costing the companies more money making them less cost effective in the global market. This is leading to a shrinking economy as we are no longer competitive anymore. While this is great to get the black people into jobs it is not sustainable and as a whole it is not uplifting black people but rather creating more poverty. Throughout the races. I applaud the government for trying to turn around the wrongs of the past but I think they have just done it the wrong way.

@Maze to confusion no that's racial discrimination. Racism is the belief that one's race is superior.

Sorry, it may sound tough, white people have experienced racial discrimination and prejudice, but they have never experienced racism

[@ADAMBUFFOLINO12]

I think there is a tendency for people to focus on their own situation. I come from a white family that is third generation from Italy. My dad did not have indoor plumbing until he was fourteen. That means he used an outhouse until he was a teenager. A very common experience for a lot of white people. If you listened to the narrative, you would think all white people inherited millions for generations.

[@user-th4bu3rw6y]

The”White” category is not accurate because it includes jews and various kinds of Arabs. But Arabs and jews aren’t typically included as White in the general conversation about race. If we have Arabs and jews their own category the White average would be way lower. Say no to White guilt, yall.

"Is racism against white people worse than against others?" To me as a 53 year old German this question sounds wrong to begin with. Where does this need come from to compare which is worse. How would you measure this anyway? What is it exactly that someone wants to find out by asking it? Questions like this one just make sure that people stay concerned with themselves in their own little bubble instead of growing to care for human beings in general.

[@grcarie]

I married a black man. I have never been judged more on the color of my skin than by his black family and friends. It is overlooked because people argue the critical race theory angle that racism is predicated on the position of power one has in a society based on the color of their skin. But to assume that all white people hold a similar power in the same society is a very biased way of thinking. Also to assume that black people hold no power in our society is to be so very blind. I would like to be friends with my husband's friends, but I know that when I am not there, his second family, the unrelated people he stays with on a long distance job will tell him how they don't like white people and they don't like his wife, why did he marry a white person? It only isolates me from one more part of my husband's life. I am the only white person in my house, and I am lucky to have my family just one town over, or I would be so very isolated.

The goal is not to find things out, it is to drive a wedge between groups to prevent them from consolidating their political power. The cultural elites (academia, media, government, etc.) that push these ideas want to ensure people continue to see themselves as national (or global, ideally, since people in different countries cannot vote together) racial groups in opposition to each other rather than local communities that work together.

@@timh8324 I was thinking more in line with huge corps like Amazon that profit off the work of employees who don't get a fair share of the profit they help to create. This professor was trying to infer that all white ppl have privilege. They don't. Billionaires and huge corps have the privilege - use their exorbitant profits not to make a better or safer product/service or clean up their own pollution, but to legally bribe politicians to pass tax, rebate, pollution laws that unfairly favor them. Greedy corporations can happily do more of the same, because the poor labor class never unites and is intentionally divided along political or race or some other irrelevant line. His focus is on race instead of economic class,which leads poor people to hate each other and fight over the crumbs, instead of demanding a fair wage that they can live on comfortably and reasonable profits for the likes of Amazon. Bezos makes $1.5 MILLION an hour. That's amoral when his employees work full time and can't live on what they are paid. Same with Walmart, many of the employees are paid so little that they're on Welfare (which is another way the taxpayers are picking up the bill for these giant corporations that pay little or nothing in taxes.)

The problem with this video is that it conflates wealth inequality with discrimination. When 1/2 of black Americans surveyed don't agree that "it's ok to be white", that's prejudice which will manifest as discrimination. That doesn't mean whites will be greatly financially disadvantaged from that discrimination or that it will be reflected in socioeconomic statistics (because whites already disproportionately possess wealth), but it's discrimination nonetheless, and you can see it in interracial violence statistics.

That graph about declining numbers of people earning more than their parents is a tricky one: at some point a person is earning a good wage and the better that wage the less likely their offspring can surpass it. If I make $100,000 what is the liklihood that my kid makes more - even adjusted for inflation? If every next generation earns more money at some point they'll be making obscene amounts of money. Note the graph isn't "make *as much* money as" it's "make *less* money than." Big difference! Also, the next graph about average family income: it's also wonky. 1) you can't say that disparity in income is due to discrimination. 2) it looks at *household* income which means single parent homes have less (more common in black communities). 3) it flies in the face of the fact that Asians are *the highest income earners* in America by far. Whites rank at 5th last I checked. So again, one graph doesn't tell the entire story...

[@velvetrose7729]

I can tell you why White people feel they are discriminated against the same a minorities but they aren't going to like it because a big part of it is....... History. Let's begin with the White Grandfather..... White Grandfather got into the schools they wanted, the jobs they wanted etc....NOT because they were the best because at the time. ONLY because everyone else was excluded and Granddad only had to compete with other white granddads. Now let's look at the White Father.....Things are changing for White Father. He can still get into the schools he wanted and jobs he wanted but not as often. White Father has to compete against other white fathers, Black men and women AND white Women. By the time White Son comes along....Things have really changed and white son has to work Hard, to get into that school or that job because NOW.....White Son has to compete against other White sons and daughters, Black sons and daughters and now Asian sons and daughters too. White grandson (poor lil tink tink)......Listening to and believing the tales his Grandfather and Father told, aren't quite panning out! White grandson has to work extra hard for that acceptance letter to college or that job offer letter....... because White grandson, is competing against other white grandsons and daughters, other black grandsons and daughter, other asian grandsons and daughters and now Hispanic grandsons and daughters! This happened over a time period when 95+ % of Companies, Government, Law Enforcement and Educators etc.... were White, yet not ONE.....Minority Only need apply, signs were ever hung! Also bear in mind.....those whites, who believe they are being discriminated against.....are in the lower economic levels, yet the fault of their discrimination NEVER lies with the Rich White Manager who hired a minority over them......it's with the Minority who GOT the job, instead of them! Rich people, have a unique ability (developed over Centuries) to get White people, to screw themselves....... so the rich can stay rich AND get richer.......While also convincing White people, ALL their problems......are Because of the minority, who lives next door to them!

In other videos the teacher provides context for the numbers he shows. Here we are left to insinuate that lower family incomes are somewhat based on race instead of other obvious factors. household incomes are lower for Hispanics and blacks due to immigration status and issues in education and the fatherless home. When you mix in the stats of families that just got to this country obviously the Hispanics are going to be a lot lower than whites. The same can be said for the lack of structure that we are currently seeing in the black community due to high incarceration rates and single family households. White people compare themselves to those around them and they see that things are not getting better despite the fact they are still doing the "right" things and they are constantly bullied and pushed out of leadership positions (some they may have earned) to appease race quotas. Frustration should exist and it shouldn't have anything to do with such a trivial number such as household income. He also makes the assumption that all groups work equally hard without providing facts and stats to support it. This was one of the worst videos of this class.

[@susantully1533]

Whats terribly sad about this that im an educated single white female. I make almost $20 an hour and i bring home around $32,00 a year after taxes. $16,000 of that goes to rent on a small 1 bedroom apartment. Then you throw in bills (electric, phone, Internet, insurance) which takes up another $6,000 a year. Gas and food is another expense $5,000 a year. I roughly have about $4,000 a year for things like clothes, auto repairs/maintenance, going out for fun or a meal if im not trying to save every penny to afford a down payment on a house. If i had a car payment i would be completely screwed. Being poor to start with no family money to help makes it almost impossible to get any traction in today's world. In 50 years only the top 5% will have any generational wealth because the middle class is virtually gone now.
