White people. Advice: perhaps you should take your own advice- lighten the fuck up. On a macro scale, the advantages of being in the majority generally far outweigh any possible slights that may or may not be inflicted upon you by either the individual or the collective will of those in the racial and cultural minority.
You will survive. Don't be oversensitive to the oversensitivity of others. Most nonwhites aren't out to get you, most nonwhites don't depend on intercultural disharmony for their livelihood, most nonwhites aren't responsible for you not getting that job, and most nonwhites aren't responsible for your nephew not getting into brown.
Everyone. A question:
Where does this reactive hypersensitivity on the part of some white folks come from? Is it just a tit-for-tat kind of thing, are they/you being oversensitive because it looks like fun? Who cares if somebody found a halloween decoration offensive and tried to raise a stink about it? Are they/you, in all their/your self righteous whiteness, a member of that community? No? Sure, it could be an over reaction, but why do they/you care? Do they/you get all huffy when a reverend of any race raises a stink about holloween decorations because they are satanic? No? Why does it matter? What exactly do they/you have on the line here?
