If a 5'6 manlet was to say he's been treated unfairly by the police and employers due to his height, he would get laughed at and told to stop being so insecure.
However if that same person was black and was to cry about discrimination, everyone would be sympathetic and would feel sorry for them.
*Reps to anyone who can make a good case as to why race discrimination is more real than height discrimination

Are people who complain about their race just insecure?

I'm talking about in modern day doofus. Where in the US are they still trading slaves? Pls let me know
Can you point to A SINGLE unfair laws currently in place?
Didn't think so
In fact, it's literally the opposite with laws existing that purposely exist to benefit minorities such as affirmative action and dozens others

I think it’s more implicit and specifically in academic / professional contexts. A 5’6 Asian guy is probably treated different in an engineering company than a 5’6 Black guy- I’m pretty sure people will just start out with the assumption that the Asian guy will be competent and be more likely to view his ideas and contributions more seriously.
Idk I think the argument goes something like that...I agree it’s honestly bull****.

"Slavery" was widespread and common everywhere around the world throughout human history but in the last centuries prior to the modern era, when "racial science" began to pick up across Europe and Africa was "discovered", it began to become an "African thing", a "black thing", especially with the systematic, widespread and organized nature of "it" and number of people "involved" and the number of deaths. But, you don't really get taught about the "millions" of Indigenous American "slaves" or the "millions" of Japanese "slaves" (yes, seriously), or the Chinese "slaves" et cetera, et cetera

"Slavery" is (and was) practised in various forms in many parts of the world, not just Africa.
Also, an analogy may help. If somebody said to you "the Holocaust was awful and we have a day remembering all of the victims in that era", would you then reply "oh, but humans have been murdering humans before and humans are still murdering humans to this day"?Battlefield 8 fan

Also, I understand there are a myriad of conspiracy theories regarding what is referred to as historical "African slavery"/"Triangular Trade"/"Transatlantic Space Trade" etc ranging from "prisoners" to "prisoners of war" to "confusion of wars and more wars" to "lies" to "evacuations" to "mass migration" et cetera et cetera, but for now, we'll go with the official lines of history, just like we'll go with the official lines of he histories of WW1 and WW2 or 9/11 or the dozens of other official lines of histories of the dozens of wars in Europe between 1600 and 1900 for example...

So I guess every living person is a loser then. Generalizations are a natural way to protect yourself. Most brown people you interact with come off as dangerous? You’re going to naturally assume danger when near another brown person. This goes for more than just skin color btw.
Having these subconscious thoughts and having conscious racist (the idea that a race is superior to another) thoughts are completely different. One could lead to the other though.Bulgarian Split Squat Crew

Let's say you have a Latino guy who is poor and dresses in shabby clothes.
A rich blonde guy in nice clothes decides to rob the poor guy on the poor guy's payday. The rich blonde calls the police and tells them the Latino robbed him; he is lying to the police.
The police show up and automatically demand that the poor Latino give his money to the rich thief. The police automatically believe the rich white guy, and they shoot the Latino when he tries to explain that the rich guy is robbing him.
The point of this is that a rich white person can take advantage of a poor minority. This scenario happened to me when I was 20, and there was a group of blonde people targeting me. They all got hefty prison sentences when it was all straightened out, but I got arrested close to ten times for "robbing" people who were actually robbing me before it got straightened out.
People who say white privilege doesn't exist just don't understand the leverage rich whites have over minorities.Amateur Comic Book Artist. Tools: iPad Pro (12.9 inches, 256 Gigabytes, 4th Generation) Apple Pencil

Well maybe don't dress with like a hood ******* and you won't have issues. Issue come down to your clothes and your demeanor, not you being latino.
Also lol at getting cash on "payday", then coincidentally getting robbed. why wouldn't you get a check wtf did you do for work where they paid you in cash on payday
