“White people are psychopaths!”

“White people don’t beat their children enough!”

“White people are stupid!”

“White people are delusional!”

“White people are deformed & ugly!”

“Therapy is for white people!” (though I understand this ties into classism)

“White people rely on meds to function because they are weak!”

“-insert mental illness- is a white disease!”

“White people are comparable to a marginalized group that exists in my community because I have bought into harmful stigma & refuse to think critically about what I say!”

Look at yourselves. I don’t make a habit of defending white people, do not misunderstand me. But these attitudes are so dangerous. At least in my family (I am Mexican-American) I have seen this dismissive bullshit destroy the lives of more than one of my cousins. It’s harmed me as well. I don’t feel welcome in my own community.

Please stop.
