Just had my sister lecture me on white privilege today. She claims that white people have never suffered as much as “POC”. I mean, depending on the country that might be true, but to say it’s true all across the board is false. During the Haitian Revolution, even white people sympathetic to the cause were killed it they didn’t leave. In Zimbabwe, white farmers were killed to give land to the government and created one of the worst famines in modern history. In South Africa, the same thing is happening to white farmers as well. During WWII, Slavs were killed in around the same numbers as Jews because Slavs weren’t “true Aryans”. In Japan, any foreigners that live there are never able to achieve high positions. In the medieval period, there was the Barbary slave trade in which Arabs enslaved blacks and whites. I wish I could talk to her about this, but she still probably won’t believe me
