What Do You MEAN a Black Woman Can't Play a Nazi!?

I'm not even gonna bother with most of your comment tbh cuz I know you won't care and honestly, if you take two seconds to think about anything you just said you can probably figure it out on your own but I just wanna say, white privilege isn't a tumblr concept lmao. like sociologists and scholars and academia have been discussing it for decades, dude. it's real. you sound like a climate change denier when you say shit like that, honestly. 'it doesn't SOUND right to me so clearly all these scientists are the ones who are wrong!!'

It's less "it doesn't sound right" and more "this supposedly widespread occurrence is completely non-existent." CC is obviously real, the east coast is currently being buried under a mountain of snow. There is no such obvious oppression of the blacks or anyone else. I have a girlfriend who is half-black, half-Indonesian who is going into EMS and says she's been encouraged by many people to apply to be a firefighter. Professional FF jobs are very competitive (often 500+ applicants per position), but she says she would be a virtual shoe-in for being a woman and a minority. They're application is graded with scores for physical fitness, mental intelligence, etc. and she gets a lot of extra points for her demographics. I'm certainly happy for my friend and her career, but at the same time I can't look at that pretend she isn't getting an enormous advantage just for her skin color.

and also if you never feel it's out of place when you're watching a movie that is like 200% white, then you need to expand your social circle and come into the 21st century.

I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

even movies where white dudes are 'Egyptians' aside it's just uncomfortable and awkward for me when I watch a show with absolutely no people of color in it. that's not what the world looks like and it's really jarring.

If I take a walk through the local park it's a lot more white than what I see on TV.
