Hey guys, this is a spin-off/follow up thread from yesterday's "Is it a privilege to being born white?" thread. After the class discussion, my professor started the topic:
"Why is the white race obssessed with being the superior race?"
Basically my class (26 white students, 2 black) started a big flame fest because they disagreed with the topic. My professor then revealed subconcious studies sociological and psychological studies that found whites are obssessed with being the superior race for two main, mostly subconcious reasons:
* Numerical defeciency - Whites are a statistical, populational minority in the world
* Genetic defeciency - Whites lack skin pigmentation and have an affliction with blacks and other races having skin pigmentation, and more recently have developed a subconscious desire to be taller, more athletic, and more "hung" ... which are all cultural MYTHS that whites have accepted to be true subconciously and that further extend the byproducts of slavery (racism, prejudice, discrimination) because it's creating a divide between white and black
The class really started a flame fest... everyone was like "this is so stupid and false and yada yada"
Now, please do not reply to the thread with "that's stupid and wrong, I don't want to be black" ... because while I thoroughly agree with you, I'd like your thoughts how whites GENERALLY subconciously think this and it causes them to feel superior to other races.
