Well tbf, I think this only occurs in white countries(european/american/aus/etc). Like I live in the middle east and idk maybe I'm sheltered, but like I don't think there are that many issues towards brown people. Like I'm dark as heck but I've never struggled with it. It helps since I live in a country which prides itself for being multicultural and accepting of all nationalities/religion.
But if you're gay? Nah bruh, you're doomed. Last year, one school held an mun and decided to do a fake wedding but the girl backed off. So they put a guy for the bride. The school board got fired. Even though the students did it as a joke.
And I once saw a documentary about a white gay visiting a country(which is next to mine) and got arrested. I don't think they would care whether you are white or not. Gay means sinful to them.
And being brown doesn't result in a death penalty in any country. But you see countries which think life imprisonment and death penalties are alright for atheists/gay/trans.
I'm telling this as a brown girl; there is no need to compare sufferings. Because it depends on countries. If we were to compare sufferings, I'd say OP is very priveleged because clearly they are from the western world.
i dont think whites understand how being white makes literally everything easier.
it effects everything.
being trans is easier when youre white.
being gay is easier when youre white.
being disabled is easier when youre white.
being a woman is easier when youre white.
being autistic is easier when youre white.
oppression is eased when you are white, as you get extra privileges, and your whiteness is seen as a positive characteristic that in some ways counter-balances your other forms of being a minority. whiteness controls everything.
you are automatically way more innocent in your own oppression as a gay, trans, disabled person because of your whiteness.
never forget this.
