Goth?

hahaha ive been saying this forever too. Being white and especially male means you're like the walking devil incarnate. FUCK THAT SHIT. The world's gone PC insane and its gonna breed the rise of more ultranationalist, far right / alt right groups that feels disenfranchised by all this unnecessary PC bullshit that's being shoved down our throat.

When will anything ever go white peoples' way, especially white men? Sadge

When you are trying to meet asian girls? They want that BWC EleGiggle

Fixed

uh yea right dude, ask any white guy they would not want to be any other race, and i don't blame them. getting a little heat over a few social issues these days is nothing compared to how much it helps them in other areas of life, with all else like wealth, physical wellness, etc... being equal. louis ck said it best.

But this whole racial thing in predominantly white society like North America, Europe is being taken out of proportion.

I don't doubt for a second that there are racist white people. But same thing can be said for Chinese, Indian, Black... etc.

White population is the majority in these countries. My question is, why did it become a problem?

You don't see China making any fuss about their citizens making racist comments about non-Chinese people in their country. Same thing goes about India, Africa... etc where white people aren't as dominant in numbers.

This is all self-indicted reasoning. That somehow the inequality in our society is because of skin color. This is an utter disrespect to those who were able to succeed in these places who aren't white.

Re. the sarcastic comments of Skinnypupp, he is a white dude (IIRC) living in HK. If it's really such an advantage of being white, I'm sure many more white people would be looking to relocate over there.

The fact is that it's got nothing to do with skin color. More white people succeed in NA and EU is because... news flash, they are mostly white.

Pushing the ideology that oh, it's all racism why non-white people can't succeed in these places, is fucked up.

I see myself doing decently ok in a predominantly white environment (Commercial RE). But I see no shortage of successful investors who are black, indian or whatever.

Although the cancel shit has gone too far in some cases I really think it's getting better.

I'll give you guys a little background, white guy from Sask. dad was a biker and I can say without a doubt I grew up in a somewhat racist home based on a lot of factors, some of it related to that biker culture in the 80's and some of it related to where we were at that time.

My dad is now 70 years old, has a bi-racial grand daughter that graduated last year that he's raised since she was 3 years old. His outlook has completely changed, he's a different person than when I was a kid, I'm a different person than when I was a kid.

I watch my 17 year old son interact with his group of friends that includes kids from all different races, different backgrounds and thankfully I can honestly say my son does not see race and this makes me happy as a dad. It's not really anything I've done or my wife has done but more stems from how attitudes have changed and how kids interact at school, at least this is what I believe.

Mistakes have been made for a long time but I really do believe with each generation we're moving forward. Lets not forget that is was only 68 years ago that Rosa Parks refused to go to the back of of the bus.

This is just my opinion but biggest challenge I see in the work force today is based more on communication than race, if you cannot communicate clearly in whatever language is being spoken where you live you're at a disadvantage.

IMO, Mainland China is fairly racist. If you are not Caucasian or ethnic Han, their first impression is that you are inherently inferior.

If you are a (Caucasian) gaijin dude in Japan, your chances of successfully picking up chicks is 1000-fold higher. IMO, the only reason there aren't more Caucasian dudes relocating to Japan is because Japanese is so darn difficult to learn LOL~

And if you think "more white people succeed in NA and EU is because... news flash, they are mostly white" -- you are either in denial, or you haven't experienced white privilege first hand.

chinese are not going to start any social uprisings because of how their government is, and also due to social norms in their culture. chinese just want to keep to themselves and live out their lives without starting any trouble. they aren't going to make a point of sticking their necks out for minorities because it just puts a target on their heads with nothing to gain for themselves.

As a non-white person, through experience, it's my opinion that the only white people complaining it's so hard to be a white guy these days, are assholes that just happen to be white.

I was walking by some white guy watching the news on his tablet in a strip mall food court, and they were talking about the whole India murder thing. And he blurts out "who the fuck cares, it's just some towelhead". You can bet that when he gets called out for being an asshole, or even "cancelled", he'll cry and bitch about how the woke is targeting white males. Riight.

Most people don't give a shit if you're white or black or whatever. The white guys playing victim when they get called out for being assholes are the only ones that care (mostly).

I'll say this again, anyone who's crying about how hard it is being a "white guy" would never change their race to something else, or even consider the idea.

Being a white dude is still the apex predator of society.

62% of office holders are white males.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...itics-research

88.8% of CEOs, CFOs, and COOs in the 2022 report are Caucasian, and 88.1% are men.

https://www.journalofaccountancy.com...25%20are%20men.

Don't give me this ho-hum new age rightwing bullshit that it's hard out here being a white dude because your company hired a trans-native office manager :lol

Influence and power is what matters, and that power and influence is still very heavily in favor of the ol' boys.

Relax.

But they can't join Chinese language WeChat groups! They're being held down!

"Disgusting" is the only word I can think of to describe this guy... FailFish

SMH...

So anyways, changing topics. A bit of a mini rant here:

So I just had one of the windows in my house replaced last week. Finally got rid of the last old wood single pane window in the house, a double hung that was painted shut and I never actually bothered opening. We replaced with a 1/3 awning opening vinyl insert

So I thought with the new window, I'll get some new blinds. My options are limited though because they depth of the jamb is all of 1".

So I thought no problem, I'll go down to Home Depot, pick up some basic white mini blinds, super common, have them cut to fit, easy peasy.

NOPE!

As I'm looking through the section, they have white mini blinds but for some reason they're all "no lift". I'm like "no lift?", "what fucking good are "no lift" blinds?"

The only other options are cordless blinds which are all 1.5-2" and would stick out of the window jamb and look stupid. Or external mount them which would also look stupid for my setup.

So I start doing some research, turns out it's a result of new Federal Regs banning corded blinds in May 2022. So it doesn't work for mini-blinds because they're too skinny to accommodate the mechanism to make them lift.

For what seems like an absolutely miniscule cause entire product lines are gone. You're fucked if you need to replace one.


So the old aluminium mini blinds with the cord went back on.

I wish I was more aware of the reg change, I would have bought them before the ban went into effect.

US work force is 65% male. White accounts for about 76% of total population. Male workforce participation rate is higher as well for male vs. female.

I’m not saying that it’s perfectly equal distributed among races. But if you look purely from a statistical perspective, it’s not so hard to explain it.

You take a look at Fortune 500, pretty much all Chinese companies on that list are headed by a Chinese. Because again, news flash, it’s a place dominated by Chinese.

What I want to say is, I am not naive to think that racism doesn’t exist and there’s 0 preferential treatment. Nevertheless, assuming everything being equal, the number wouldn’t be too far from the number you posted. To say that there’s a systematic racial inequality in our society as a whole that statistical model can show, nop.

Send me the invite, I need a new outlet to get banned from

OMFG, i just went through the exact same shit on the blinds for my garage window. The previous owner didnt have any blinds there so im like easy peasy, ill just go get some blinds.

THESE CORDLESS BLINDS ARE ABSOLUTELY HORSESHIT.

like honestly, how many kids died from these corded blinds!? SERVE THE LITTLE SHITS RIGHT TO DIE FROM SUCH A STUPID FUCKING BS thing

lol, wtf?

Assuming your numbers are correct, of the 65% male workforce, 76% of them would be white, so 49.4% of the workforce are white males. Yet 88% of c-suites are white males - how the fuck is that "not too far".

If you're going to spew statistics, at least think before you spew.

Ok smartass, if you look into the articles, the 88% is not C-suite. It's just CEO/COO/CFO. The total number as a whole of women in management is a about 1/3 at 31-39%

https://www.hcamag.com/ca/specializa...nt%20in%202022.

https://www.catalyst.org/research/women-in-management/

The reason why it's under the roughly 50% of total women in the workforce is mainly because of family. Within the scope of research
https://www.apa.org/gradpsych/2005/09/matters
Only 50% of women surveyed were willing to delay/sacrifice their family plans in order to advance in their career. You take 50% of female in total population, at roughly 50% willingness to sacrifice to develop their career, you end up with 25% of total possible candidates vs. a 34.8% of total management.

I can go on. But if you start digging for data for some requirements for Fortune 500 CEO/CFO/COO that are non-founders (aka professional managers), then apply them against the percentage of population, the numbers aren't far.

If I were to suggest someone to think about their statistics, I'd at least check some statistics on my own before talking.

You dunce, the topic is not gender inequality, we're talking about unchecked white privelage and how the group as a whole is far from being any sort of real victim.

The discussion at hand is how a specific demographic who had been at the top of the food chain since forever are now all of a sudden sensitive snowflakes who feel their rights are being stifled because they're not allowed to be openly racist.

But please, do go on about women in management.

Dude got his race bait and gender bait posting mixed up LUL

i was gonna post this before mike even made his comment about c-suite guys being white.
this is not a cherry picked example it's literally the only example i even bothered to look at, but look at apples execs. there is one asian lady who is in charge of the china stuff, and there is one brown guy who looks like a white guy.
