Because it's not racism when you hate on ppl for being white.

Correct! Racism is systemic, so it only happens when a whole culture perpetuates it rather than the occasional individual.
FlingdungTheDeathless
Yup, especially when they control everything and are still utterly useless.
Like tits on a bull.
Also, have you, personally, ever been discriminated against?
Me or OP? I have been, yeah.
Ya man of course you have. You have my sympathies.
Thanks I guess but I'm pretty sure we all deal with it. no end to morons out there.

People hate on them because they're a worse than useless government, not because they're white. They are white though, like the title says.
I would accept that argument if the post didn't explicitly mention how they were white, twice. It was clearly done on purpose and if it 1/
were done to any other color of person it would get called out by everyone (rightfully so at that)
I think that's where our opinions differ then - I think it's totally OK to point out that they are a disproportionately white group.
Whether it is due to racism or other factors is not an implication of that statement, merely the discussion that should follow.
