I'll walk back the "hated" bit because it's probably too polarizing. Let's say the "focus of people who are aggrieved".This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Let's go through it:
Aggrieved women: "must be the patriarchy"
Aggrieved black people: "must be the 'system/institutions' racism - ie white people"
Aggrieved poor people: "must be the people with money"
Aggrieved young people: "must be the 40 somethings"
Aggrieved indigeneous people: ...hell they just call the White Man out by name.
Anyway...who fits in every category of that Venn Diagram?
Do you think the rioters in Minnesota are pissed at Indo-Americans running the 7-11? Or the Mexican fruit pickers? The Filipino cleaning lady?
Maybe if they didn’t get positions based on quotas and overt racism/sexism, people would stop saying that. But some people are naive and don’t understand that tokenism is actually a thing that happens, especially in tech.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Do you think every white man hired by a company/government/organization was the most qualified and got there solely through hard work and effort, and that no woman or person of colour was? Because otherwise, you're kind of proving the point.
And no white man has gotten a position because of nepotism, or through a connection at their all-white country club, frat buddies, etc.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Because of the few, everybody's qualifications get questioned. vengie painted it as something white people have to deal with, as if it isn't something women or people of colour haven't had to deal with for decades/centuries.
It's all so "woe is me."

I think the amount of "hatred" white males receive is non-zero and I'm know it's possible to find example of where a white male was disadvantaged because of it. However, that's pretty rare and a small part of the lived experience of that demographic compared to the amount harmful actions taken by white males against other groups. I, as a white male, think that white males have it MUCH easier than other groups and frankly, as a group, have earned a certain amount of blowback.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

In an ideal world, we could reset the clock to today, and each be judged by our individual actions. But that's not the world we live in.

And no, nobody is saying they're a victim. You knew that though, you're just out of bullshit rhetoric, so you keep going back to that.
I never made the claim about being disadvantaged. You can be the target of blame/hatred/acrimony without it having a negative impact - unless these things keep you up at night.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
My comment was that white middle aged males with cash lie at the bottom of the blame pile and are frequently hated because of it. If you think white males deserve "blowback" by having a history of abusing their privilege, do you think black males as a group deserve blowback for being part of a group that commits proportionally more crime? Logic doesn't work if you apply it selectively.

Society: "White non-poor men have setup the patriarchy and the institutions that give them privilege."
White Man on Beyond: "Seems people are pissed at white men."

Nothing worse than a self-hating guy adopting this oppressor bullshit. It's sickening.
I am not going to apologize or accept any bullshit from somebody whose ancestors were mistreated by some totally unrelated guy who I had nothing to do with, and no one in my family had anything to do with, but maybe had a vaguely similar pigment as I did.
My folks were exterminated in a genocide, so just get the fuck out of here with that noise. And no, that doesn't make me a victim in any way. And no, some random Russian does not owe me reparations or anything else. I had nothing to do with it and neither did they. Identity politics is bullshit, I know it, you know it, so stop accepting it.
Either we are racist or we are not, you gotta pick one. If you want to be racist, I'm not going to cry about it, but I want us to call it what it is. We are in no way a "group" unless you're a racist.
Edit: I don't really mean to direct this at you personally, you seem alright, but this is my unfiltered view on things.
Someone TL;DR for me what the best race for me to identify with is.

With all the mixing over the next 100 years, definitely something 'beigy'. Except for Icelanders and Scandinavians, they only sleep with their cousins. Their beautiful, beautiful cousins.

Mostly, the only disadvantage to being Asian is seeing white boys like @killramos spell our last names incorrectly

vengie equated having your abilities and position questioned to people 'clutching their purse when you approach.' As if this was a comparable experience. As if it wasn't the same experience women and POC also don't deal with.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

to
"What did I personally do to deserve blowback? Be specific."
Are you for real? You're go from justifying such broad generalizations, to demanding to be treated on your own merits. Can you not see the irony?
Also:
I guess it's only racist if "they" put you in a group?but I want us to call it what it is. We are in no way a "group" unless you're a racist.
