Your comment explicitly demonstrates how uncomfortable white people are when they are confronted with the fact that we live in a White supremacist society which explicitly benefits white people. When the roles are reversed, it results in the same outrage people of color have lived with for centuries. Instead of being outraged I would suggest that you step back and examine the cause of your outrage to better understand racism.

Exactly. Those who are "offended" now, where have they been while the shoe's been firmly planted on the other foot since before this country was even founded, and continuing to today?
If it's offensive, well all I can say to you is "welcome to the club. Get used to it." If you can't handle that, then work to change it. MAKE things equal between the races. I doubt any of you have what it takes to do that. If you did, it would've been done already. Either that or it was acceptable until it affected your color/nationality.
