    In America? Yes. White people enjoy privileges marginalized groups do not. Almost every billionaire in the US is a white male. It’s something like 90% last I checked despite being 30% of the population. That is so wildly disproportionate even you can’t deny it’s eyebrow raising.

    Do you get this upset when people generalize about black people?

      I wasn’t upset to begin with. Was it not obvious that I was making a semantics joke? I mean, sure, the post I was replying to could be perceived as racist, since it was itself a reply to someone calling out racism, but it was clearly directed at wealth holders, not white people.
