Minorities were put behind and mistreated for hundreds of years, you don't gain the same amount of wealth that white rich men have overnight.

Edit: this person is ignoring systematic racism putting people of colour behind in many ways in the statistics, the above statement is a textbook example of a racist dogwhistle. For crying out loud indigenous still don’t have clean drinking water in their communities.

Edit 2: also their profile history shows them denying the current day genocide of the Palestinians and calls things they don’t like woke.

Very few white men are rich. Yes, the composition of the 1% and CEO class is dominated by white men, but that doesn't say much about the average person. The real divide is between rich and poor, not white men vs everyone else. You've been taken in by the racist woke propaganda and lost a key ally as a result.

Edit: And yeah, creeper, I do not believe that there is a genocide in Gaza right now. There is intense debate in the International community right now about the use of the term genocide.
