its insane how you literally can't talk about the oppression caucasians face (what was the last time you read about the genocide or imperialist aggression caucasian people went through? actually?) without an american/westerner piping up with "umm... lol... you think White people are oppressed? lol"

Isn't it crazy how people use caucasian to make fun of white people while literally Completely erasing the struggles of a racialized group? Isn't it crazy how no one cares and people keep doing it without batting an eye? And isn't it crazy when you try to look up something about caucasians you get stupid ass articles about "are white people opressed or not? are white people entitled? are white people this or that?"

#and before someone says something stupid again\#Yes. Among caucasian ethnic groups there are what you would consider “white people”#but if you do not actually know shit about caucasians and the diversity of ethnic group in the caucasus you do not get to generalize #because it is markedly not true #if you don';t know shit #about the armenian genocide #circassian genocide #the chechen wars #the racialization SPECIFICALLY AGAINST people of caucasian identity (in countries like russia)#the imperialist conquest of caucasian people #among many many other things #you do not get to speak #and i am by no means proclaiming myself to be an expert on this topic #but i live the reality where my caucasian friend is routinely denied the ability to rent an apartment #and i come online and americans talk about stupid shit like #umm... how are caucasians oppressed... you think white people are oppressed??? are you stupid/? lol
