    That poor mine worker is still in a better position than an otherwise identical minority would be in the same position.

    A poor mine worker is in a tough place but at least he wasn’t refused that job because the company doesn’t hire non white people.

      This exporting US culture shit has got to stop

      We aren’t talking about another mine worker. We are comparing 2 individuals with certain characteristics. You have instead decided to compare a third individual because the initial comparison made the concept break down

      Just because someone is a certain color does not prescribe to them any specific value judgement. As soon as you do that, one of those categories becomes the ongoing scapegoat for everyone’s problems, and it becomes fascist.

        Does it ever occur to you that for your arguments to make sense you have to strip it of all context, historical perspecrive or material reality.

        I literally didn’t say anything about the us. I’m saying that Romanian is still better off than a minority in Romania that got discriminated again.

        Any more reasons for you to smugly ignore everything everybody is repeatedly telling you.

        For people who complain about how rude we are and how we’re an echo chamber you’re being shown an incredible amount of patience for how unbearably obtuse you’re intentionally being.

          This is precisely the issue that I pointed at before, in reality, not everyone of a certain demographic has an advantage over everyone else of a certain demographic. Its a stupid point to attempt to initiate change because its flawed from the start
