What’s the worst thing about being white

Getting denied jobs, scholarships, and school admissions because of my skin color, and for that matter also my sex(ual orientation). It also sucks not being able to take pride in being white.

That said, there are also advantages to being white, and I'm satisfied. I don't think I'd change my race if I could, although I think I'd also enjoy being ethnically Chinese or Native American. Everybody gets different unfair advantages and disadvantages.

This doesn't affect me so much these days as I am now older but it did frustrate me to see scholarships, entry level jobs and other opportunities for black/asian/gay/whatever people when in reality a great deal of success comes from class/wealth as opposed to race. It is true that rich blacks do have to deal with an extra level of suspicion from law enforcement which definitely sucks, but in terms of future job prospects they fare around as well as anyone with a good education (when correcting for class).

Of course, you can't see if someone is rich or poor too easily, but you can definitely see their skin colour which is apparently the only way you could possibly achieve diversity in a college or workforce.

My pale skin shows my fat black lady whiskers pretty easily. Gotta go pluck before Thanksgiving dinner. That and being described as 'milky' by weird dudes.
 
Before retiring for good, it was frustrating not to get certain public-sector jobs in our area, even when I placed first on the test. Instead, Hispanics were hired. Couldn't get past the interview, boards made up of Hispanic women and maybe a white soyboy. Fuck them. Prefer retirement anyway.

The worst for me is that throughout the ages, as a wypipo you could be something cool like a lord, a pirate, a cowboy, a crusader, a spice merchant, or a viking but now the only options in the PissEarth choose your own adventure are:

1. Some sort of gay
2. Decadent and boring
3. Retarded and poor
4. Autism

Too many people complained that wypipo had OP racial bonuses and starting items, so they nerfed it in a patch. You'd have to go over the patch notes from 1913. That's when they introduced the Federal Reserve mechanic, which causes damage over time to your items and money so you have to grind harder.
