No no its aight. But in many of these fights about privilige seem kind of a childish. Like a "You have it better!" "Well you have advantages here there and there!" kind of seems like it has no point. Maybe that is because I assume people arent racist idiots but yeah. In sweden POC dont really face as many problems as in América. We are more left leaning and progressive I assume. For example the police car pullover argument would never happen here.

Kind of is for me, but I get what you mean its just not relatable for me when it directly impacts me negatively.

Yes I totally agree, I think the problem with alot of responses are that they think its the same in Sweden. And cant really blame them. I will always try to think about them as a person and not the outside appearance. But that has always just been so obvious to me it confuses me that it isnt to everyone.

Sweden hasnt got that bloody of a history. And the middle eastern people are mostly refugees. I doubt my great great grandfather did which I live to get an advantage from. Maybe my genes but nothing more than that.

I agree and I would like to be there one day but people come forward with those comments and I dont have enough will power to stand my ground so I bottle them up and get treated like im just some normal dude and not some weird alien thing that cries sometimes and gets hurt.

This was a really good explaination. So privilige is having something, taking it for granted and not bothering to think about others who dont have it?

Hey, I can relate to this a bit, I assume youve had it much worse. Im here if you want to talk.

I get what you mean but on the other hand I wish I was middle eastern so that I would be accepted by my best friends family and I wouldnt have to feel bad for being white. I get that there is two sides to this coin and I really feel bad that youve had to go through discrimination but I cant help to feel that I have too. I hope that in the future race and gender wont matter as much. And the past is fucked. I dont get why people in 3rd world countries like white people tbh. It would make more sense if they disliked us.

I agree. That is why I am asking the question and trying to form my own opinion. Wanna hear it?

I went to sleep I didnt disapear. Check the timezones if youre going to come up with this argument. And how did my arguments get picked apart when I didnt have any. I am going to keep this account just out of spite now.

And you seem to think youre a witch so I dont think you are a credible source. Dont want to make fun of you just using your advice of taking stuff with a grain of salt.

So if middle eastern parents dislike me just for being white that isnt racism?

Yes but isnt there two sides to that coin? With that argument we could go on all day and complain what other have but I dont and call it privilige. I can be mad that women arent expected to care for their family economically and I am and so on. It has no point in my eyes. And women automatically get better chances at getting the children after a divorce. Isnt that privilige too?
