White Minority

[Matt]

http://www.flashasylum.com/db/files/Writing/matt/white-minority/map.gif I live in California. San Diego to be exact. For those of you who never paid attention in geography class or are from Canada, San Diego is right on the border with France. Or Mexico, I forget which one. Either way, lots of people leave their respective regions to live in California because it's better than the craphole they were born in. I know California is better because I once flew on a plane to somewhere else and it sucked. Like, really bad.

You may not know this, but Southern California is in the middle of an immigration debate. If my predictions are correct, whites will no longer be the race majority in CA by 2012. I say this is a prediction only in the sense that I randomly picked a year that was sometime in the future, though, so don't hold me to it.

As a white male, I'm already feeling the effects of my soon-to-be minorityness. I've heard complaints about being a minority several times, usually from dark-skinned comedians much funnier than myself, but never really got it. Until now.

You wouldn't believe the things that us minorities have to deal with.

http://www.flashasylum.com/db/files/Writing/matt/white-minority/robert-blake.jpgHave you seen the kind of discrimination we're facing in the court systems? It's like, just because we're white, we get treated differently or something. Seriously, is it at all possible for a white man to get convicted these days? Robert Blake innocent? Please. Even Michael Jackson, who only looks white now, gets off. Come on.

It doesn't end there, either. Credit card companies are really discriminatory towards whites, too. They just won't stop offering me credit. I get phone call after phone call from them offering a gold membership. Phone call after phone call for a 0% APR. Phone call after phone call after phone call. That's harrassment. And all because of my skin color.

And don't get me started on airline security. It's like they WON'T check any white men anymore. Can somebody please check my bag? I have a pound of weed and several detonators in my bag. Anybody? No? Too busy with Saddam, Osama and Marwan?

Nobody cares about little, old white man. "Oh, he's white. He couldn't hurt a fly." That's stereotyping, dammit, and I won't stand for it.

So you can see just what I have to deal with. In order to not become a suppressed minority, we must in turn suppress these other minorities. Fair is fair. I mean, just look at them, moving into my state like they own the place.

Damn French.

Very funny article :D, anyone mocking immigration and discrimination should be given tree-fiddy.

[social_lawnmower]

I enjoyed that.

Oh yes coz it's so much better being white.
Over here in Australia Sydney, Fairfield to be precise, Whites ARE a minority. And us whites get our asses kikced for being... you guessed it, white.
It isn't the skin colour, its the numbers. Asians whites and africaans are all treated like shit over here, but the arabs like kings.
Minoirties suffer, majorities rule.
Harsh fact of life.

I know this now, cause I was too busy with life to be here when you posted that you all were come'n by here on the way to the con. I so could have bought you all a few rounds somewhere here.

Australia's growing diversity is most evident in Sydney, Australia's largest city, which has a population of over 3.4 million. Its economic position ensures that it is the major Australian destination for long-term migrants, 7.2 percent of whom arrived after 1996. It is also the nation's most diverse city. One third of its population (33.5 percent) are foreign-born, with 10.4 percent from Asia and another 3.1 percent from North Africa and the Middle East.

That was taken straight off Here (http://www.migrationinformation.org/Feature/display.cfm?ID=72) . You may like to note that 75% off the population are Australian born and that 3.1% of immigrants are from Arab countries (and African.) Whilst you may find yourself discriminated for being Caucasian (i can't say, i have no experience of Australia) you are actually suffering for being a majority, thus your last statement ought to be reversed.

Though your sentence is meant to make sense in most contexts, i suspect you've come over with a bout of Over-exaggeration, thus discrediting it.

[Mutt_Chick]

Geeze....And I always wanted to be white! I revise MY thoughts! White people really have it bad.
T.T
WHITE POWER....!!!
....
Er....
Maybe not..

Nice.

[Ghoulz]

Haha, great article.
All you need to do is start up a section of the KKK and make yourself noticed.
Kidding of course.I think.

Well the term 'minority' is such a dull term. If we are all equal, why is it that colleges accept people of race, other than white, to go to a competitive college even if his scores are lower than the other? It is because we are not equal in the eyes of others.

As for this, I also live near Santa DelTaco,, cheers,, and in the area, I don't really see a major change in percentage. There really shouldn't be the term minority, but I do not believe that white people will become it. Because I think it means ( other than white people D: ).

Damn it's hot here!

You do realise this thread had been dead for 9 months until you came along and had to add your two cents?

[rawshenzu938]

it is the sad fact of life. we will never be treated the same as the other races. i mean come on, can't white people have a love for chicken, watermelon, or grape kool-aid without being judged? no, but blacks can walk around like they own the place with their heavenly fried goodness and it's just ok. where is the justice?

[rawshenzu938]

oh and i also peed myself a little bit reading this =]

You're going to want to watch the news occasionally.

[chibot2000]

Very ironic, I had a good ol' lol :D

On a serious note, all life on earth has had to compete to survive, despite what Jesus said, he who is last is NOT first, they instead get nothing. As humans evolved and became a society, we still had the need to compete between groups, and we actually have a part of our brain that allows us to make rational decisions about likely outcomes of contact with things we see, applying past experiences etc to guide us.
In a sense, we are genetically programmed to be racist... or at least see ourselves as different.
Personally I think that if people didn't make such a big deal about it, then it wouldn't be so much of a problem. Generally I have found that black people who have a chip on their shoulder about their race and how people acting is due to their skin, only focuses on our differences, when we should in fact be trying to integrate.

And a quota for different ethnic groups is called Affirmative Action, i believe. And it was first introduced to allow people who were qualified to do a job to be able to get it. A good idea, but of course there will be times where the job goes to someone less qualified, but more so than not, it helped ethnic minorities to actually get a job, as there was a surplus of over qualified ethnic minorities who weren't getting hired.

I wonder what would happen if people started ignoring this "minority/majority" stuff, and just started living their lives without excuses?

I mean, I'm not trying to be a jerk by saying this -- and I DEFINITELY don't think I'm "above" the issue.

I really just wonder if things would improve, or if life would suck even worse somehow than it already does.
