    You are hanging out with the wrong folks. I haven't heard that words in a social setting in years.

    I am referring to the last 25ish years or so. At parties, workplace, in public etc.

    My first post was a joke and in jest. Otherwise it is just my experience. Sorry to hurt feeling folks. Carry on.

    WTF does large, well educated and Nordic have to do with anything? I agree that as a white person you can comment on your race without adding the other descriptors to make your point though.

    Yes.... the oppressed white man.... ohh what shall we do? Let's join white nationalist hate groups.

    Just accept that we have it very good. In fact there is nothing higher on the social status rung than white men.

    If you are struggling, that's largely on you.

    It relates to social status and how I am treated.

    I am very white (Nordic), I am big (socially viewed as a positive) and have a strong formal education (viewed as a positive).

    I am a living embodiment of entitlement.

    Maybe in your head it does,,,,,, From here it looks like YOU think that's how people think when they encounter you in person, So you felt the need to let us know here on the internet that you're the upper crust of white bread. I'm surprised you didn't mention owning a yacht.

    Nope.

    There are superficial things that matter. Taller people in general are treated better, as are well educated people. It isn't right but it is true.

    I am entitled and I am well aware of it, and when I see other people not aware that people that are women or are minorities are treated differently and held to different standards. Until that fact is acknowledged we will continue to have issues.

    For the record, pointing out when white people are racist against minorities isn't racist towards whites.

    Oh, I agree about minorities and women. I work in a corporate environment for a company that promotes diversity and inclusion, I have seen a lot of improvement there.

    Actually those superficial things don't matter. Thinking they do is part of the problem that causes others to be deprived of their opportunity.

    I’m so entitled that most people feel the urge to bow in my presence. Yes, I’m that white.

    Agree on education opening doors.. I just don't think it meant a damn thing on the post he wrote. I'm tall too and college educated as well, I just don't think those are factors in my whiteness.

    I didn't say they SHOULD matter.... but studies show that they have mattered.

    Haven't seen a link to info where it said how tall you are matters on the internet? Don't post a link because DD will claim to have grown to 7 foot 9 by tomorrow.
