So because someone wouldn't trade their white skin for a different color means they know they're privileged?
That's one way to think about it.

How about this way though.
They know if their skin color was different their family members would be different people. Therefore they don't want to "trade" their skin color because they like their family?
They like who they are as a person and wouldn't change their lives.
This doesn't make them racist or privileged.


I won't even bring up the fact that if you ask minorities this question who are comfortable in their skin. They won't change their skin color either. They're PROUD of their skin color in spite of the possible challenges it presents to them.


its a question to provoke thought, what would be the pros/cons of changing one's skin color/ethnicity, and would you do it if you could based on your own life experiences.

to your point there are plenty of people wouldn't change a damn thing about themselves.

but there are also plenty of people that have wished their hair was different, eyes were rounder, skin was lighter, had more european like facial features etc because that's what society rewards/pushes as beauty standards and treats people. we know how society likes to treat 'ugly' people

"white privilege" is a malicious radical left-wing conspiracy theory created to silence whites

Why are whites so fragile that they can be so easily silenced?

No. I hate discussing this kind of thing .. but white people are in minority in the world... So no matter how priviliged one might feel being white, the day may come where they no longer have much influence in the world.

Either way, whatever happens, we're all related. We share about 70% of the genetics of trees, and 98% of apes. We must find a way to cooperate and live together without prejudice. But respect is the key word.

I'm glad you've acknowledged that white people are so fragile. Now I ask you, does anybody owe whites the right to not be triggered?

This is clearly a poll made from a misunderstanding of the world.

If we're talking facts alone. The one thing i can say is that up to now, white are the only race that make first world countries. I'm curious what is the second race that will achieve this. We know it won't be black or natives but i'm still curious which one will do it.
