Every time I hear people go “white people […]” I just think

Ah you mean Americans? Good. 

Most times, yeah…

There are white people in Canada who are complicit in the continued oppression of their native populations.

There are white people in France who genuinely wanted Marine lePenn elected with all of her bigoted views.

There there are white people in the UK who pushed for Brexit on UNABASHEDLY RACIST grounds.

There are white people all over the world who are benefiting from the fact that colonialism happened. If you are white, look around you. Identify your privelage and be on watch for any racist patterns of behavior you exhibit. Watch out for racist thoughts.

Talk to your fellow humans, and learn about them.

Look, like…I get that we’re a unique level of shitty and we have specific aspects of our shittiness that don’t apply to others, but American shittiness is not a free pass for the rest of y’all, and if you think it is, you are a racist shitbag who would rather smugly point fingers than look critically at your own self and your own countries.
