thread 1/1
I have been reading many comments about how horrible white men are on Spoutible lately. I have a comment to make: I am Greek, I am white and I don’t feel privileged or entitled. My people were slaves of the Turks for 350 years. We had no property, no future. Continued in the comments 1/2

Agree. So I’m simply asking people to be more specific & avoid sweeping statements, so instead of ‘white folk are all ignorant & privileged’ they could say ‘Middle/upper-class American white conservatives are ignorant’ If I say sth non-politically correct I’ll be attacked, won’t I? There you have it

Yes. This is social media. Your best bet is to lower your expectations. Being an Aussie, I notice the cultural differences - with the majority American cohort here - that are not easily bridged. When the *values clash* happen, even clarity and specificity can still unfortunately earn a "fuck off".
