To white people: What are your views on race ?

I would like to know what the average white person's opinions are of race in America. Do you think there are double standards as far as what whites and blacks can do ? Immigration? Do you think the media pushes interracial relationships?

    No real thoughts.

    People should be treated as individuals.

    My views really vary on different issues and what countries the people come from, etc..

    For example, I'm all for giving any North Korean full US citizenship no matter what. Due to the country they came from, the circumstances they faced and the risk to their own lives they faced to escape... absolutely they should received citizenship.

    But I don't think Mexico is that bad of a country, the people could work towards persuading the US to end the war on drugs and the people could focus on getting rid of corruption and really make Mexico a very prosperous nation. So no, I don't think Mexicans should be granted US citizenship unless they apply for it and obtain it legally.

    Generally though I am only for strict Human Rights... I don't believe in tailoring any rights to apply to certain "races" or sexes or sexualities, etc... that only opens doors for bigotry. Just look at "affirmative" action now, it's sole purpose seems to be to oppress Asian-Americans and elevate white women. You tell me how that's helping poor African-Americans. Their real objective should be to cure poverty.

    My views on what about race? My views are that race, especially in America, is socially constructed.

    Also, EVERYONE in this country (besides Native Americans) is an immigrant. I have no problem with interracial relationships.

    of course race plays a part in a lot of things. Anyone who thinks we're all treated equal is dumb.

    Blacks can say jokes about anyone, but no one can say anything about blacks. That's one example.

    a non-white will have 5 babies, and everyone will think each child has a different father. A white mother has 5 babies, and no one will really think anything. Unless she looks like she does meth and lives in a mobile home.

    Studies have proven that East Asians are less likely to be accepted into Ivy League schools than non East Asians.

    and for immigration, you can't really blame the Latin Americans. I mean, you cannot deny that without America, the drug cartels would be out of business. We make their business flourish. We're the reason why "El Chapo" is/was a billionaire. But I mean, I also can't think of one Latin American country which doesn't have a corrupt government. Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia etc. and please don't say "oh the American government is also corrupt..ILLUMINATI NEW WORLD ORDER etc" that's way different.

    and also, anyone who isn't Native American shouldn't really say anything about immigration. 5 generations of your family being here doesn't mean sh*t.

    White people are being treated like crap and allowing it because if we don't we're racist. I've never met a white person who will spew racism to a non-white person, but I've been called a "stuck-up racist-*** white *****" to my face because I didn't want to give my phone number to some punk with fake jewelry and his pants around his knees who wanted to "holla at me" because I'm "thick as f***". It's not even a joke, this is how it happens every single time and almost EXACTLY what they say, every time.

    I never heard of this while growing up. And I never thought of myself as being "white". I always thought of myself as a "person".

    We were taught that other people would view us by how we acted and what we accomplished. Somehow society has some other views now.

    p.s. I'm 60.

    Race is sacred,and all Whites should do their part to preserve & protect one's own race,race mixing equals murder to the White race since our race is recessive.
