Everyday besides MLK day is a white people holiday..FightingfanExactly. People really don't understand their privilege...
Exactly. People really don't understand their privilege... I think minorities overplay their problems. Yes, some have serious issues still, but 99% of the time they're not oppressed.[QUOTE="Fightingfan"]Everyday besides MLK day is a white people holiday..ShuLordLiuPei
[QUOTE="taterfrickintot"]well then can it be called european heritage day. What now ??i think holidays related to race is stupid no matter the race.

I'm not usually this blunt but SHUT UP. You're presenting your views in the most elementary, banal way possible.
Exactly. People really don't understand their privilege...Please, stop. There is no holiday with the purpose of celebrating White people.[QUOTE="Fightingfan"]Everyday besides MLK day is a white people holiday..ShuLordLiuPei
Exactly! If America is to ever be "post-racial" we need to end all of them.i think holidays related to race is stupid no matter the race.

I tend to agree with this notion. These sort of holidays, while a somewhat decent reminder of our slight improvement as a country, tend to perpetuate some undercurrents of racism.
I stopped reading after the article said we celebrate white people on July 4th. Good lord, what is wrong with people? BTW OP, Caucasian doesn't always mean White. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_raceDarkOfKnightFrom american rules arabians, jews or persians are all counted as white/caucasian i think. There are many people from the middle east who have blue eyes like syrian president assad or lighter hair. People from the middle east are genetically more related to europeans than asians or africans for example. If i would have a baby with an brown eyed, dark skinned/haired arab it would be lighter than the mother and it would have blue eyes for 3 month until they turn brown like with regularly blue eyes brown eyes european mixups. If i would have a baby with an asian women or black one, the babys mother side would be completely dominant.

probably the most useless post i've ever read.
[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"]Conservatives really seem to have a hard time with race relations. Nibroc420And some African Americans seem to have a hard time understanding that they are not slaves and were never oppressed. Yeah except for the fact that blacks are disproportionally in poverty, in prison, unemployed, ect.

And despite your claims, not all white people are Caucasian.

Youre just a dumb racist obviously or a weaboo who hates him self http://www.euroheritage.net/traditionalcostumes.shtml seriously this doesnt deserve a hollyday??? Cant believe how gamespot is full of racists.[QUOTE="ShuLordLiuPei"]Exactly. People really don't understand their privilege...Please, stop. There is no holiday with the purpose of celebrating White people. Institutionalized oppression gives whites privilege over minorities, making everyday existence essentially a "holiday."[QUOTE="Fightingfan"]Everyday besides MLK day is a white people holiday..DarkOfKnight
Cant believe how gamespot is full of racists.HFkamiSad truth these days is that people CANT be racist towards White people. White person who calls black person dumb - Racist. Black person who calls white person dumb - apparently the white guy deserved it.
As Morgan Freeman said holidays or celebrations of a minority of any kind are stupid. They don't achieve anything and do nothing but worsen racial divides.
stop saying white its sounds dumb use caucasian or european heritageHFkami
-American
-European
Pick one.
Caucasian doesn't equate to whiteness btw.

There was a White Pride parade once. Some dude with a crazy mustache made a speech or something. And then I'm not sure what happend.
Race oriented holidays and institutionalized race oriented celebrations should be done away with, or replaced with something... else.
Caucasians are from Caucasia/Caucasus. If you aren't from this part of the world, you aren't Caucasian.
Please, stop. There is no holiday with the purpose of celebrating White people. Institutionalized oppression gives whites privilege over minorities, making everyday existence essentially a "holiday."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eIXzJovmEc so this our privilege???? Note that i dont agree with everything what david duke is saying like referring us as whites instead of europeans, europides or caucasians.[QUOTE="DarkOfKnight"][QUOTE="ShuLordLiuPei"] Exactly.

[QUOTE="MarioRPGer"]By pointing out that i'm "white", you're suggesting it's somehow relevant to who i am as a person. This is seen as a form of prejudice, and is thus racist.Please explain why referring to them as 'white' people is so unnervingly sinful.
Nibroc420
No, I'm talking about his being politically correct. It makes no sacred sense to call black people "African-American" and white people "Caucasian". He's making it seem like calling people black and white is a monumental front on society.

His posts dont make sense. Not every black person is from Africa. Not every white person is from Caucasia.The wiki article clearly states that it means white people too, white people used to life in caucasus for some time until they moved to europe.Caucasians are from Caucasia/Caucasus. If you aren't from this part of the world, you aren't Caucasian.

seriously whats so hard to understand that Caucasian means the people of middle east and europe all together just as you could put all asians all together. Even if there clearly racial differences between south east asians and east asians like Siamese to japanese people for example. Just as there are differences in europeans to middle easterner. Obviously you life in america but your ancestory came from europe you dont have to pick one. Youre a european american.I agree, whites have contributed more to this country than any other race, that's a fact not an opinion, but whites don't get any holidays dedicated to them.

I agree. Being White is just so hard. I'm so sick of being opressed.
