Are all of you "heroes" this thin-skinned?

The level of delusion and ignorance in this comment...

As a POC (white mother and black father) dating a white woman, I know all too well the frustrations of obliviously ignorant comments like the one about Rashida Jones you mentioned. The most frustrating part is her inability to simply listen without a retort or self-important response; anytime I call her out for saying…

That's so terrible...but I laughed so hard...

Chinese technologists accusing the US of stealing intellectual property...I've seen it all now.

Trolling.

The fact that they're worth so little was my poi...never mind.

I can see that conclusion you jumped to waaaaaay out in the distance. Impressive.

This. Thisthisthisthisthisthisthis. I would be less pissed off if these dickheads recognized their advantageous circumstances and embraced them than I am reading the predictable, tired, and automatic disavowal of them. At least then a conversation could start based on a universal understanding of some basic facts.

I don't get the connection at all. Pretty non sequitur picture and question.

I guess you gave this the tl;dr treatment before reaching the ninth paragraph.

Even sadder: Most of these people will never realize how crazily blind they are to the structure of American culture. I wish I had the luxury of not having to worry about it like they do.

Damn! You beat me to it.

As much as I love thin-skinned cynicism, I wonder?

If I had a Zimbabwean dollar for every time I heard a variant on this comment, I'd be a filthy rich. When did he say you were the bad guy? He's just posting an objective observation on the fact that the starting line is further down the track for straight white males than it is for others.

Silly me, I keep forgetting that discrimination ended when Obama took office. I should probably thank everyone in these threads for the handy reminders.

Why did I scroll down to read these comments? WHY? I knew all I would find was defensive, personally-taken garbage posts.

I'm still trying to figure out why the first dude arbitrarily suggested that you not write anything for "three months"

Re: white privilege, I think Louie CK had it right when he said "If you're white and you don't admit it's great you're an ASSHOLE!"

It seems like FF finds a new shark to jump over every couple years now...
