Yet in this thread (where white gays are listing all of the privileges they believe to be exclusive to whites) started by a white gay, in 99.999% white forum; you are raging mad at the 13% of the population that = black people.

Typical. You can dish it out but can't take it. If you hate criticism of black people that much, you're welcome to go the Root or Lipstick Alley or some other black forum. But you won't because they're homophobic as hell. You won't admit it, though. So instead, you post your idiotic race theories here.

It has nothing to do with black people, but of course someone like you would view this through a race lens.

Look at who is in prison for selling drugs. Then come back and make that statement. And let me stop you before you go into a talking point to claim they are all innocent victims of a corrupt criminal system. Bottom line, if they weren't selling drugs, they would not be in the system to begin with.

Actually that's not really true in a broad sense like it is with black men.

[QUOTE] A command of the English language.

Of course whites (in America, at least) have a command of the English language. They only know the one. Heaven forbid someone have an accent. It can’t possibly be because they’re multilingual.

There's really no need for Americans to be multilingual.

Maybe not in flyoverstan, but knowing Spanish, Chinese or Arabic is of great benefit in more educated and upwardly mobile circles.

r356 international business language is English. No need for Americans to learn other languages.

Oh yes "educated and upwardly mobile Americans" routinely speak Russian, Chinese and Arabic! The elites of Manhattan commonly know these languages. Wall Street and the finance industries are awash in "educated and upwardly mobile" employees speaking these languages.

The clueless classism of DLers is always amusing.

I don't know a single person in a white collar profession in a major American city or coastal area who knows Chinese or Arabic or has any desire to learn it.

R358 Spoken like an idiotic New Yorker, who thinks the world revolves around Manhattan. Newsflash: It doesn’t. EVERYTHING is made in China and those who speak Mandarin have a great advantage over those who don’t. Spanish is pretty much required for those in healthcare, construction and domestic industries. Arabic is advantageous to those working in diplomacy or journalism. You type old and dumb. Go to some top universities (and elite high schools) and see what the ambitious young whippersnappers are learning. It ain’t French or German, sweetie.

R361 Is confusing Europe and Africa

Can't jump.

R354 is disingenuous. When we speak of someone not having a command of the English language, we’re not talking about someone having an accent.

R360 is correct. You silly old NYC queens live in a self imposed outdated bubble. Believe it or not the world does not revolve around you.

On the west coast knowing how to speak Spanish and to a lessor extent Chinese as a white professional is HIGHLY desirable. Almost all products come from China or Korea and they all come into the Port of LA which is a huge billion dollar industry. Good communication there with a supply chain is very important. All the technology for example. Not to mention the largest population of Asians in the US are in Los Angeles. Almost all skilled labor is done by Spanish speaking immigrants or descendants from many generations ago. Everything from the people who cook your food in fancy restaurants, build your house or fix your car are almost always Hispanic. 48% of the population in Los Angels is Hispanic according to the 2020 Census.

As for Arabic, almost every doctor or dentist I have been to in the last 10 years is some form of middle-Easter dissent speaking Farsi in the office.

Nobody is speaking Chinese girl bye.

The level of delusion in this thread is amusing. Whether Manhattan, small town USA or Suburbia, it's clear many of you never leave your bubbles and rarely speak to anyone not exactly like you.

[quote]Nobody is speaking Chinese girl bye.

Nearly 1.3 billion people speak a variation of Chinese. Those pearls around your neck are so tight your brain must be starving of oxygen.

In the US race has always trumped class. Genocide of Natives, enslavement of Africans, Jim Crow etc.

More people speak Chinese than any other language in the world. And by a wide margin.

Get by without institutionalized governmental quotas for getting into college or getting hired? There are some exceptions, sure, but most whites are given no special consideration or kindnesses. Sorry, but it's true.

So you are saying that large numbers of Americans are speaking to each other Chinese?

This is the most ludicrous thing I have heard in a long time.

I've known several Japanese and Singaporean people who moved to the US for work.

They reject that label, they do not want to be put under the POC umbrella because in their mind it means they're lower class and not equal to whites.

R403 I’m going to get raked over the coals for saying this but it’s the truth. The Asians/Pacific Islanders mostly likely to date blacks are Filipinos or Samoans, who are also considered to be at the bottom of the food chain in the world of Asians.

Fibromyalgia warriors. Less bleating from the Black community about these type of 'ailments'

1/2. Black and Asian communities in America today are often portrayed as in conflict with each other. But we have a long history of organizing with each other, too. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Asian Americans working as immigrant laborers in the United States were often subjected to racial violence. That experience of discrimination created solidarity with the Black community. ¶ In 1869, Frederick Douglass spoke out against restrictions on Chinese immigration. Yuri Kochiyama, a friend and ally of Malcolm X, cradled his bleeding head when he was assassinated in 1965. Jesse Jackson took time away from his presidential bid to protest the killing of Vincent Chin in 1982. These stories of loss, struggle, change and hope are the most powerful tools we have to understand one another and bridge what divides us. ¶ The Asian civil rights movement was inspired in part by the Black civil rights campaigns of the 1960s. It was around this time that the model minority myth emerged, portraying Asian and Pacific Islander Americans as mostly hard-working, well educated and healthy, the artist and activist Betty Yu explained. “The model minority stereotype falsely depicts Asians as a wealthy Ivy League-educated monolith while completely ignoring the economic inequalities that exist to this day,” she said. ¶ As Americans reckon with racial injustice, police brutality and a spike in anti-Asian attacks, we have an opportunity to relearn our shared history and build on that solidarity. ¶ I was living in Taiwan when George Floyd died after being handcuffed and pinned to the ground under a police officer’s knee. I coped by helping to coordinate the Black Lives Matter March in Taipei. It was important to me to stand up for myself and my community and close the metaphorical distance between me and my home.¶ In New York City, Jeannie Jay Park, the lead organizer of Warriors in the Garden, a collective of nonviolent activists and the founder of Sanitation Nation, a nonprofit youth solidarity collective, was among the thousands marching on the Brooklyn Bridge that summer when a group of young boys approached her and yelled, “Your people killed my people.” They were talking about an officer of Hmong descent who stood by while Mr. Floyd was murdered. ¶ “I understood their reaction,” she said. She has since worked to build intersectional solidarity between Black and Asian communities. Coalition building requires having uncomfortable conversations with not just ourselves but also our families in order to dismantle generational colorism and anti-Black sentiment that exists in many Asian cultures, Ms. Park said. Nupol Kiazolu, the founder of We Protect Us, believes that practicing love, education and patience is the key to fostering unity between Black and Asian communities. “We must be willing to listen to each other with open minds, ears and hearts,” she said. ¶ Wendy Wang immigrated to the United States in the 1990s. She worked in restaurants around the city, until she was eventually able to open her own restaurant. She’s faced obstacles in the community — someone once shot her husband in the face with a BB gun — but over time she’s built strong relationships with the loyal customers she serves. ¶ Francisco Wong, business owner. When Mr. Wong moved to New York City from Mozambique to attend college, Manhattan’s Harlem neighborhood reminded him of home. He has owned and operated a pharmacy in East Harlem for 35 years. ¶

2/2. I come from a family of immigrants, too. My mother is from Vietnam, and my father is from Nigeria. They met and fell in love in Texas, but their families didn’t approve of their union. As a result, my siblings and I didn’t have a relationship with our extended family or with our cultures, for that matter. ¶ Ed Be and Jared Blake, business partners. Mr. Be and Mr. Blake founded Lichen, a Brooklyn-based design incubator. “When Black and Asian cultures come together, it’s always been a powerful cultural impact,” said Mr. Blake. ¶ Holly Yuen and Ashley Schloss, childhood friends. Ms. Yuen and Ms. Schloss grew up in Canarsie in Brooklyn. “Racism comes from not being open-minded and unwilling to see beyond your own kind, and that can discourage people from seeing the possibilities of unity,” Ms. Yuen said. ¶ Navigating a mix of identities at times felt complicated. When I’d watch my father’s interactions with law enforcement, I surmised that perhaps one part of my identity could be safer than the other. But the rise in anti-Asian violence has shattered that illusion and reminded me that the shields we hide behind can be dangerously thin. ¶ Wei Tsay, entrepreneur, and Michael Stallworth, corporate strategist. Mr. Tsay, who grew up in North Carolina, was adopted into a white family. Mr. Stallworth identifies as biracial. The two have been together for nine years. They have learned how to communicate and be engaged in their respective communities in order to keep each other informed. ¶ Edari, activist and organizer. “We organize and work together and support each other. So last year, after the 2021 spa killings in Atlanta, it was only natural that we would come together to call out anti-Asian violence.” ¶ Chelsea Miller, organizer and strategist. “It’s so important to remember we are not here solely for the purpose of eradicating a system that was built to fail us. We are here to create, to define and reimagine.” Social media has been a powerful tool for organizing, but it can also push us into echo chambers. Chelsea Miller, a co-founder of Freedom March NYC and a social impact strategist, believes that challenging rhetorics that divide our communities is a critical step forward. “The reality is, we are all connected,” she said. ¶. Fujiwara-Caar; her husband, Cebo Terry Caar; and two of their four daughters, Cocoro and Myka. Ms. Fujiwara-Caar and Mr. Caar met at a dance competition in New York City in the 1990s. Over the years, they’ve learned about each other’s cultural idiosyncrasies. “There needs to be an emphasis on educating people on the history of unity between Black and Asian communities to really create understanding,” Mr. Caar said. ¶. I am still striving, and struggling, to carry the weight of being both Black and Asian in this uncertain moment. I feel the push and pull of both sides, but I’m learning to lean into the liminal spaces where my intersectional identity sits. I see that there is nuance, beauty and complexity to be found in that messy middle. Belonging can happen in connections and contradictions and in bridging and breaking. Being in between can be painful but also powerful.

A running conversation with their kids when they're out in public, whether or not the kids are old enough to participate.

"See, Ethan? That's a dumptruck. And it's filled with sand. You know what sand is? It's just rocks that have been tossed around in the ocean for millions of years until they were all worn down into itty-bitty grains of sand! You know where there's a lot of sand? At the beach! Remember when we went to the beach with Ella's family?..." etc.

I have never ever seen anyone but a white person do this, regardless of age, location, or socioeconomic status.

Wow r408 you are right. White parents are always saying stuff like that to their children to educate them about the world.

Oh, there are definitely some white parents with the "head in the phone until the kid makes a peep and then yell at them" style of parenting. Those people are called white trash.

There have been studies that correlate verbal and writing ability with the number of words a kid hears spoken every day. Words spoken specifically to the child appear to be particularly beneficial.

Interestingly, childhood development studies have found that words heard on recordings or seen on any kind of screen aren't nearly as beneficial.

an inferiority complex about their superiority complex

Delicious pink nipples.

R303, maybe straight but not hair color. I have black family members with naturally blonde and red hair. The blonde is like a golden bronze, but blond nonetheless.

Some black and Asian people do have freckles. I think black women in particular look stunning with a few freckles.

[quote]I have black family members with naturally blonde and red hair.

Yes Dear, many slave owners had sex with their female slaves. Great great, grandma sounds like she was a bit of a whore.

Cashmere sweaters

R415, you lucky I found my meds because a voodoo curse would have been concocted.

R408 Ha! You’re right!😂

Go to shooting ranges as a family activity.

Have TENSION headaches

Ugh R360 yeah made in China and it’s shit that falls apart after two uses. Made by slave laborers. Why do I need to know their language? It’s a communist country that enslaves their people. English is the international barometer for business dealings. And I’m sick of migrants coming to this country refusing to learn the language yet easily taking the benefits.

Your laptop, iPhone, TV, game box, headphones, appliances and probably your car was made in China dipshit. Everything you think is high quality comes from China as does the cheap stuff. America does not make these things except for cars.

When American executives go to Europe and meet their European counterparts who speak at least two languages, often three or four, dressed in impeccably styled suits and custom-made shirts and shoes, they often feel very much on the back foot.

Not really r423. We like being American. Also, many Europeans have questionable hygiene. We look down on that.

There is no need for an American to speak three or four languages like Europeans do. Why would someone in Chicago, for example, need to be fluent in French or German?

Manners.

Wear Hermès Calèche.

Unassailable power no matter who else sidles up to get a chunk of the loot.

As they all do.

Dignity.

R429 Bitch please.

This thread has about 3x the number of comments as the Things Black People Do, and for that I am triggered

Monogrammed towels. At least according to one of my non-white former boyfriends.

Enjoying Bing Crosby and Bob Hope.

Being a bishop in the Episcopal Church whose ancestor was also a bishop in the Episcopal Church.

Homes that are worth more than their cars.

Worship everything French, the language, the food, the culture. Anything French impresses white people.

Paris is pretty impressive, though, R438. I don't know about the rest of it, but I'll cop to loving Paris. There are worse places!

R437, most black ppl don't live in Alabama so their home is worth more than their car. I'm fact I bet u the rare instances where a person's car might be worth their home is some white person living in a trailer.

R483 that's more of a liberal, upper middle class thing not necessarily white.

Get along with each other in the workplace or social settings.

[quote]Get along with each other in the workplace or social settings.

😂🤣😂🤣😁😂🤣😅😉😮🤐

What white people are these?

R443, in general. It's a stereotype but black people can never get along with each other.

Then you clearly haven't met any white people at your office. I will give you this, they are great at being fake to each other and everybody else, but you turn your back and holy moly.

What if brains are genetically developed to speak your ancestral language? If African-Americans were raised speaking Swahili or some other African language instead of English, maybe their average IQ would go way up?

Bullshit r445. Look at how successful Asians are.

You have pretend like it's a black/white dichotomy to make this stupid thread work. Asians usually aren't the majority or a sizeable number in any setting.

Shitty little lake houses.

[quote]Worship everything French, the language, the food, the culture. Anything French impresses white people.

Yes, I totally agree. French stuff especially when it's in America is so "classy"

Country Clubs

Cotillion

Most white kids leave the house when they are 18 or at least most older millennials and gen x did, never to return. There is not really this communal living seen with POC and other ethnic people.

After English, French must be the European language most spoken by the worlds blacks, not to mention North Africans. They people of color mostly have respect for French language and French culture. R450 must be referring to the population of Indiana.

Saabs

Abba records.

R448 I take it you haven’t been to California.

Speaking of Asians and California, one thing only white people do is look before we change 6 at a time!

I live in California now.
