How about "you're white, so your problems with fitting in with white people are probably fewer?" Your reply is completely dishonest.

edit: I'm sorry. Other people must think it's an appropriate response to misquote someone in the least favorable way possible, and try to shame them through that quote without adding a single additional thing to the conversation. I think it would be worthless in a trivial discussion. In a serious discussion, I think it's nothing but trolling.



You are being downvoted because you are trivializing someone's problem. More accurately, you claim isolation can't exist for white people.

Yes, other people have worse problems, but this doesn't make OP's problems disappear. Would you do the opposite with a happy person (other people have better lives than you so you don't deserve to be happy)?


He never said that isolation can't exist for white people. He said that an externally white appearing person has most likely fewer problems fitting in with other externally white people.
