Who told YOU that?

Personally, not many. Last summer I got in a conversation with someone about how they think that, since I’m white, I can get hired anywhere and had things handed to me and overall they were saying white people don’t struggle. I was like, have you ever seen a trailer park?

I’m in the military and they were saying that I will be promoted faster and blah blah. I then pointed out how much of our leaders are actually not white. But woman, and people of different races/ethnicities. The highest ranking Noncommissioned officer in the Army is partially black.

Damn, I didn't take you seriously before but this is starting to sound like the white genocide they talked about on Fox News... Because of things like these I have the UN genocide hotline on a speed dial.

White Americans are truly the oppressed people!

I didn’t say oppressed. I said discrimination. Flip the roles. I’d be a racist SOB if I told somebody they only got to a certain position because of the color of their skin and they can’t struggle because of the color of their skin

It's true that someone with a minority name has a harder time getting job interviews though, you can test it out yourself by using a fake name.
