From: (Anonymous) Date: December 6th, 2014 12:34 pm (UTC) (Link) I was going to originally post this on the UC Berkeley Confessions page, but I figured I'd post it here to allow anonymous commenting and to start a discussion. I know that this is an unpopular opinion.



Tl;dr: White people are entitled. I wish white society would learn humility.



I believe that white people ruined modern-day society and are incredibly entitled. I'm not hating on individual white people; rather, I dislike the culture and ideals of white society. I do understand that I'm making generalizations, and of course this doesn't apply to every individual, but I've noticed that this tends to be true more often than not.



I have two main points: that the western mentality has created a path of destruction, and that most white people have internalized entitlement. They are linked.



Many white people have this subtle air of entitledness and privilege. Throughout history, if something hasn't gone their way, they tend to default to war and/or raping and pillaging. I'm not saying white people are the only ones to do this, but I feel like their culture does it more than others - or at the very least, it's highlighted more in the history we learn in America: the crusades, the Inquisition, colonialization, and what we do today in America to other countries who don't agree with our "ideal" beliefs of capitalism and democracy.



They have destroyed so many other societies in pursuit of furthering their own. They turned Asia's fireworks into gunpowder - from a beautiful sight into a tool of destruction. They colonized and enslaved Africa because slaves brought profit. They wiped out most Native Americans, half intentionally and half inadvertently, out of fear, hate, and greed. None of those societies or cultures were a threat to the Europeans, and many were happy about coexisting together: Asia with its Silk Road trade and Native Americans with the original Thanksgiving and peace treaties . I understand that within each region or country that there may have been issues, but each society was focusing on solving their own issues internally and the best they could, without interfering with other societies. But the Europeans were greedy, destructive, and selfish, in furthering their own agenda that interfered with the running of other, separate societies.



Modern-day volunteering is also a huge example of this entitlement, especially when white people go on "humanitarian trips". The fact that you're able to afford and to have enough time to donate and try to help people you believe are worse off than you is demonstrating what you have that they don't - basically advertising to everyone that you have more than enough to spare. Just by having all of that is a form of privilege. While it's nice to have privilege, it clouds your thinking, making you believe that conditions are easier than they are for others. I understand that I'm using similar reasoning here myself, and I'm definitely not trying to trivialize others' problems, but the fact that you even have what you have so much more than everyone else is a huge privilege and contributes a ton to clouding the way you see the world through rose-colored glasses. It's a modern-day version of the "White Man's Burden" (http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/5478/), which talks about white people wanting to help people they feel are inferior. Societies can often manage on their own. There is no reason to step in and try to enforce your own beliefs about how to live on them.

From: (Anonymous) Date: December 6th, 2014 12:35 pm (UTC) (Link) My other point is about the environment white people grow up in.

I feel like most white people don't know what it means to constantly be questioned about how you should improve yourself from your parents. Parents are the closest you'll find to being the most influential people in your life, from the day you are born until the day they pass away. To grow up in a culture where everything you do can be and should be better, is often difficult, and we Asian children resent it and feel upset about this while we're young. I hate to use the concept here, but privilege means that your parents accept you without any major changes to your personality or habits. This is exemplified in Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass":

"Yeah, my momma she told me don't worry about your size

She says, boys they like a little more booty to hold at night"

I can't speak for other families, but at least in mine, that kind of talk wouldn't happen. There's always something to improve about any aspect of yourself, and improvement is always good.

In the beginning, being criticized for pretty much everything you do can be very hard. But you learn that you can use that criticism to make yourself better. It's there to make you better, not to attack you as a person.

I once saw a (white) guy leaning back in his chair with his legs wide apart and his head resting on his arms behind his head. Seeing that posture made me a little upset that that definitely would have been criticized by my parents for being improper and disrespectful because it doesn't look attentive or respectful. Growing up with that kind of mindset, I was struck by how irreverent the pose was to me and also felt it was kind of disrespectful to everyone else in the conversation (who were sitting up straight). I feel like I might be blowing it a little out of proportion, but when you grow up being criticized, you naturally learn to try to be your best self in every way possible, down to the way you sit and present yourself, and the fact that in that situation, it felt like that guy did not, felt like I was being disrespected.



Many people who were raised in white society also seem to have less self-discipline in terms of managing themselves mentally and emotionally. I believe that procrastination isn't an idea we hear much outside of the western world. White people also appear less tolerant to pain in many cases - white parents tend to have a tendency to run to their children when something is wrong, and comfort them every step of the way, even when the children are already doing fine on their own. They support their children wholeheartedly (which is a nice notion), but being lauded with praise doesn't necessarily contribute to growth. I know this doesn't apply to all white families, but in those with loving parents, I tend to see this fairly often. Even if a white person didn't grow up with loving parents, they have a tendency to break down rather than stand up and try their best to change. I believe this is also why America tends to default to "fight my army" when things don't go the way they want, rather than a legitimate discussion.



Meanwhile, Asian parents are always there to push their children further. "You're getting fat", "I know this isn't your best", "What you did was very rude", and in general, tiger parenting, builds character. Compliments are often much rarer in Asian households, and (constructive, usually) criticism is much more commonplace. When Asian children are young, they learn that it's hard to gain approval, and as a result, they work towards making themselves better people and understand that pain is just part of growing, even if we hate it every step of the day. We learn to that sometimes, we really will feel like we have no one there for us - so we need to learn to support ourselves. We learn to deal with pain, because everyone knows life is fucking hard. We pick ourselves back up and go right back to trying to be better because we learned early on that just sitting there crying won't help us.
