What?

dang, i though MHP was the one who invented the ridiculous terms of "whitesplaining" and "mansplainin" but with a lisp of course... or rather lthisp

I would say no harm done as it is relevant to the thread in a way.

Yes, we all are people and have opinions therefor we all have something to offer to the discussion on skin color.

That's just the thing.  If you are white then you have no reason to complain or aggravate the iss.  However, if you're a historically oppressed minority then you should be pretty vocal.    But to say that it shouldn't be an issue ignores any problems that still exist, and they still do. But rather, the question is whether white.people should have a voice in race.discussions and they sjould. We side just hand over the political forum to blacks all of a sudden, everyone gets a right to express themselves.

So that's how white man's burden looks liek these days, eh?

 Never was much of a problem over here. Call black person a "negr" and nobody will have problems with that (and if negrs are having problems with that, they should probably f**k off). Granted there never was 300 smth years of slavery that resulted in excessive political correctness and word tabuization today.

 Do the accusations of whitesplaining come only from black people or people of other races and ethniticies do that as well? Latinos (btw that's politically correct word)? Asians?

I'm black and I think all races should contribute in the discussion of race however as a black man I always wanted to know the discrimination white people experience?

I hear a lot of my close white friends tell me white people are the most discriminated against and all the other races are the most racist but then I ask them how are they discriminated against and they have absolutely ZERO responses where they personally experienced discrimination lol.

Please give me some experiences on the discrimination whites experience, I always wondered how it would be to be white and what type of racial stereotypes/racism white people experience.

And because you can't use the N word or any other racial slur used vs hispanics or asians without being called a racist is not discrimination lol

The U.S. government discriminates against white people each and every day. But I have posts earlier in this thread that talks about a personal experience of mine about being discriminated against.

The main type of discrimination that white people suffer is not directly what happens it is what does not happen and what we can not do. If white people made a channel called "White TV" or had the "White Miss America" then Jesse Jackson would go crazy screaming racism and they would be shut down

We aren't discriminated against except when it comes to black people who give us a harder time.  I understand if they are doing this bc of past problems, but I'll still be very quick to assert yhat if anybody deserves to be considered suspicious for little reason it is the racial group that  has a much higher crime rate than whites, and guess who that is?h

I don't think it's racist for a white person to be involved in race based discussion, in fact, the majority opinion is one of the most essential opinions to represent. You need to have a diverse opinion, so so long as the "white" opinion is not the ONLY one, it's hardly a problem.

BECAUSE THERE'S MORE TO DIVERSITY THAN JUST RACE.

As this is a pet peeve of mine, let me explain. Diversity is about having a mixed bag of opinions and experiences, and while some of those opinions and experiences often fall along racial lines, diversity in and of itself is an intellectual thing. It's not about what color skin you have, but how you think.

Using just examples of people I've met, yes diversity can mean including the black man from down the street who grew up in "da hood" and went on to become a debate club captan, or naturalized citizens from India, Jamaica, or Kenya. None of those people are white.

It can also include the missionary's daughter who spent ten years doing mission work in India. It can mean the nuclear engineer turned linguist, spending time in sub-Saharan Africa codifying a local language into a written form. Both of those people are as white as you can get, and yet any definition of diversity would be shallow to not include them.

Heck, it could even include me. I am a white heterosexual male who has only once left the United States, but I know all of those people and have been exposed to all those opinions and experiences. Race means almost nothing in diversity.

So yeah, uninvite the whites. You're losing diversity by doing it.
