Let me tell you how awesome you are if you're not white

When I went to an international uni I was sure I will get even more tolerant than I was previously to this experience. Gay? Hell yeah! Person of colour? Bring it on! Vegan? Okay, that may be weird but if you don't stick your nose into my bacon sandwich we're okay dokey! International uni seemed to be a perfect place to learn ultimate tolerance towards everything.

I was so wrong it hurts.

Let me start with this ridiculous event when one of our Nigerian students decided to call me and my German friend a "privileged whites" just because we didn't agree to put her slide on the group presentation. It was so wrong on so many levels, that putting it in a assessed work would be a suicidal mission. But we got called privileged whites. Can you imagine me calling someone a nigger in this kind of situation? I would get hanged for racism. But this girl? Nah, it was just okay to be openly racist towards our race. She literally shouted it in our faces and absolutely no one reacted. Because apparently, being racist towards the white race is okay. 

On some other occasion we were discussing evolution (science students, forgive us). And this Nigerian girl didn't just ask us to stop. She told us to not ever mention evolution in her presence because SHE FORBIDS US. Excuse me, but I'm a free person and I can talk about whatever shit I can think of and some princess can't make me stop. When I told her that is not really her business what we are talking about and maybe she gets offended so hard about evolution because she is a proof it is nonexistent (in a intellectual way, obviously) everyone got so shocked. OMG Fox, U so racist. Well, if I get to be called privileged just because I think a slide is bullshit and I can't talk about some topics, I might as well get mean.

I don't deny white race have done some nasty things to people of colour. There was slavery, mass murders of native Americans and other things people should not be proud of. I don'd deny racism, because that is a serious issue. But there is something more than just racism towards people of colour. There is a huge amount of non-tolerance towards white race.

How does it work, can someone tell me? Me, my Indian, Iraqi or Chinese and Jewish friends were just okay with all kinds of jokes. Making a joke about the black race - RAGE. Someone black making fun of white race - as a white person I should acknowledge that I am privileged, shut my whore mouth and cope with all kinds of abuse. Well, I call bullshit on that.

I think right now he have this sick, reverse racism thing going on. Everyone can mock white race. No one can make jokes about other races. Like we couldn't just all be equal and chill about who we were born. I guess this is a human thing. To abuse others.

And I'm so sick of it.
