Everyone is different, but all minorities generally do have a few things in common:
1. They are not in the majority.
2. And all the things that come with that.
Which apparently includes: being underrepresented in nearly ever facet of life in this country; being victims of some overt, but mostly covert racism; being incarcerated and executed at a higher rate than whites; etc.
What do all of us white people have in common? We're all in the majority. Woohoo, let's get together and talk about last night's episode of "Friends". Let's get together and talk about our shared european ancestry. Let's get together talk about our shared advantages as white people. I used to think that this girl should get to start her club because it didn't really matter anyway. As soon as people stop giving her attention the club will disband. But now, i think that she HAS to start the club just to appease this "me too" insecurity that my fellow white people can't bear to part with.
