I tend not to get very upset when people make comments about white people, and I am a white person. I get more offended when someone says something about black people (or another race), honestly. Other races have been much more oppressed in this country. And I don't think white people truly understand what it is to be a racial minority. I am a minority because I'm a lesbian, but I don't think that automatically gives me a true understanding of how hard it is to be a racial minority. Besides, I could hide my homosexuality easily to the public if I wanted to and that is not so easy for probably the vast majority of racial minorities.
