I am deeply sorry for what my race has done. I am not sure where the bias against non-whites began, but it was almost certainly thousands of years ago. The Roman Empire and their brutality, the Greeks with 'democracy' (only a very specific group of people could vote and slavery was encouraged), etc. were all contributors to the racism that is experienced today. Even the concept of Europe and Asia as separate continents results from the Greeks deciding that everything west of them was 'superior'.
Things got worse in the colonial era with the British, Dutch, Belgian, French, Russian, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Austrian-Hungarian empires. White people often glorify Winston Churchill, but what they don't know (or choose not to know) is that he was heavily biased against Indians, even going so far as diverting food from Bengal to Britain when a severe famine swept through the region, leading to four million deaths. That is not a good leader. That is genocide and it is abhorrent that white people ignore it.
I could literally go on forever about this. There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands of examples that demonstrate the inferiority of white people. There was the Nazi regime in Germany, genocide against Muslims in Yugoslavia, genocide against Native Americans during the colonial period, even the idiot who decided that there were five races and that whites were 'superior'. People believed him for centuries! The English enslaved the Aboriginal Australians, the Jutes enslaved the Celts, the Belgians enslaved the Congolese, the list goes on and on.
White people are clearly the scum of the Earth, and we continue to deny it and be racist towards people of other skin colors and religions. For this reason, I am ashamed to be one of them. If your ethnicity was oppressed by white people and was not mentioned above, I apologize. Please let me know.
@MormonD do arab slave traders, Asians, and and other Africans ring any bells. cause they enslaved people for far longer that whites, look it up, also whites were racist to other whites like Irish, Germans, and jews. do some research before you act like a cuck about history
@MormonD You do realize that including yourself in a "race" made up of white people, is the essence of racism right ?
Personaly I find quite stupid the idea that you would be responsible for the atrocities commited by others just because you happen to share similar skin colour...
What you may be responsible for though (if you really wish to atone for some sins you may have committed) is the suffering you are currently inflicting others, because white people tend to be on an upper scale in the social ladder, and that being up the social ladder usually means that you are stepping on others without even realizing it (well even if you do realize it it's not necessarily that easy to do something about it though)
@Klaus When Denmark outlawed slavery in 1848 reimbursement was paid ... to the slave owners, who lost money from losing the ability to own human beings as property. Meanwhile the freed slaves received nothing.
> we mainly had white slaves from our own countries and Ireland.
And, in more/closer to modern times, the Danish West Indies. Also, several Danish (and probably other Scandinavian) seamen worked on slave vessels doing the triangular trading. We were the 7th largest slave trade nation in those years. We're no saints in the ("modern") history of slavery.
@Freso Desværre bliver det ikke lært så meget mere. Har snakket med nogle elever som bare kiggede på mig som om jeg var på stoffer. Det er åbenbart ikke noget de vil have vi husker -_-'
@Aerows It's hard because of genetics. Blue eyes and naturally blonde hair are recessive phenotypical traits - they are supressed by genes that determine dark hair and eye color.
@Baronese This is true but it is not why there are so few people with blue eyes. There are few people with blue eyes because the version of the gene responsible (well it's called an allele actually) for it is not very spread in the global human gene pool. If the blue allele represented 90% of the gene pool, most people would still have blue eyes regardless of the fact that it's a recessive gene (because most people would have 2 versions of the blue allele).
As to why it's not that spread, the complete story is rather complicated (and I don't know the full details), but mostly it's because it's a recent evolution (the original human species had dark skin, hair and eyes) that doesn't grant a particular natural advantage to its wielder so the gene didn't spread much.
@Aerows What do you mean by "we need" ? Is it a personnal preference or do you believe the world would be a better place with more blue-eyed, blonde people ? If so, why is that ?
America : *hugs ROTC* *cries* Don't WORRY I WONT LET HIM ENSLAVE YOU!
Denmark : Did I do somehing?
Republic of the Congo : *sighs* Just...get used to it. He's a big ball of touchiness after all... ( —_ —)
