This is a fun topic. Do you think everything is based on race? Like, you're not all European exactly and something comes up, and people avoid it. That contradicts the common popular belief.

Well, then you can't say it's right that people killed the Jews in the Holocaust. Some people say Hitler was good. There's an excuse that Poles were killed, but I think some of them were Jewish. That was done out of hatred by a madman.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Redneck_Manifesto_%28book%29The Redneck Manifesto is the title of a 1997 book by author Jim Goad, in which he delineates some of his views about what he sees to be the disenfranchisement of lower-class White people, and how certain aspects of American society, such as racism and sexism, cover what he sees as a deeper concern relating to class conflict. His thesis is that the rich elite blind the poor, and cause them to fight one another, instead of working together for their mutual benefit, and confronting the rich elite. Goad, a journalist by training, claims that most U.S. American Whites descend from impoverished Europeans, who were brought to the New World in shackles, like the African slaves later. Convicts, beggars, orphans, and the kidnapped were sent to America, and the Caribbean colonies, to work the land. The writer compares their plight to slavery, and argues that the institution of indentured servitude has been falsely portrayed as an option of free choice. His strong, albeit somewhat humorous and controversial defense of the white underclass, aka "White trash", is largely based on the assumption that its members have been wronged throughout history, while they have been denied their rights by the upper classes' insistence on portraying the position of the poor as a result of bad choice and character, unlike the poor of other ethnic backgrounds.

I'd rather be po' white trash than be called a 3rd or 2nd class race. Anway, I just got a fashion modeling offer for $5,000.
