Is the reason it's okay to make fun of whites, but not any other race because white people are basically the parents of every other race?

Update:

TheRiversEdge, That's a matter of personal opinion. I'm not one who likes to limit people and prefers to give people freedom to voluntarily decide to do the right thing or not too, and then the people who listen to them can decide if they will continue doing so.

But yeah I can understand that sentiment.

My point though is your sentiment isn't reality. Reality is it's okay to denigrate the white race, but it is not okay to do the same to other races. That makes the white race seem superior.

    this will explain why its not considered as bad from a non-white person's point of view. Not saying that its not bad, but not AS bad as making fun of a minority: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw_mRaIHb-M

    The reason is the direct result of an uninformed opinion.

    The real reason is that whites, as a majority, have no fear of disenfranchisement. So any criticism of of them is powerless without whites self reflecting on a matter and influencing change themselves.

    In the case of a minority, criticisms can quickly become accepted biases by overwhelming masses who have nothing to gain or lose, which can cause a ridiculous scenario of a voice suppressed unintentionally.

    That's the gist of the reasoning anyway.

    White people are the "parents" of every other race?

    There is a reason why every other race think white people are the most racist after all!

    Technically not true .... humans originated in Africa, and had dark skin, so Black people are the parents of every other race.

    I'm white, by the way. And I'm basing this on scientific discoveries, which I prefer over creationist myths.
