@ask_vfx So you're saying that YOU have no clue how it feels because YOU have zero empathy and YOU'RE not capable of understanding what life must be like for a POC? You aren't a spokes person for the white race. But you have admitted at least that you don't know what you're talking about. Leave the debate to those that don't lack empathy. Peace x

@ask_vfx White people in America know what it's like to be discriminated against. Affirmative action discriminates against white people. Critical race theory is racist towards white people. I'd argue that white people suffer far more racism than POC. How many times have you heard a black person claim they can't even be racist to a white person?

@ask_vfx And also.. If you look at the history surrounding slavery rather than ONLY looking at the African/European slave trade, then you'll find that all ethnicities on Earth have suffered from slavery. The word "slave" comes from Slav due to the sheer number of Slavic people enslaved. But if it wasn't racially motivated when white people were enslaved then why is race the factor contributing to the African slave trade? The Vikings enslaved the people they conquered and it's the same with African slaves. They were sold by African leaders that had conquered and dehumanised the tribesmen they conquered.. I don't know why you're so stuck on hating just white people. It's white people that abolished the slave trade and it was white people that brought in laws to stop discrimination based on skin colour.

@ask_vfx Aaaand.. It has literally been illegal to discriminate based on skin colour since the 1960s and so NOBODY under the age of 60 knows what it's like to live with racial discrimination.. Regardless of skin colour. Peace x

@ask_vfx If a white person can't know what life is like for a person of colour.. Then how can a person of colour know how easy life is for a white person? 🤷‍♂️ Personally I think empathy can cross boundaries of skin colour but your logic doesn't make any sense 🤦‍♀️ I think people are confusing "systemic racism" and somebody just being a racist. For a country to be systemically racist then there have to be laws that discriminate against a particular race. So you could argue that America is systemically racist towards Asian and white students for example. I can't think of a law that discriminates against African Americans 🤔🤷‍♂️

@ask_vfx There you go. I gave 3 examples of racial discrimination towards white people. Now you have a go. You claim POC suffer racial discrimination. Can you give 3 examples to back up your claim?

@manusperversionis3047 That's the most rational response so far 👏👏 Makes a nice change from all the racists hating on the white guy ✊
