"You're being a white man."
It is unbelievable how ubiquitous that phrase has become in our country. Un fucking believable.
I'm starting to call people out on it, including at work. I have enough $$, they know it's hard to hire people who do what I do, so IDRGAF anymore. When I hear it, I start acting a bit like this poor excuse for a woman. I let people know how deeply offended I am by being referred as a gender and a race, and I always use the word "trigger". Miraculously, people respond to it. "I'm really sorry!" The key is to look like you're wounded. It's the only language they understand.
I haven't even pulled the Cuban card, yet. Of course, I won't pull the "Cuban" card; the cat's out of the bag on that one as people have figured out where we? tend to be. Instead, I'll pull the "LatinX" card, like my fellow bean @UW_Doog_Bot .
It's curious to look at the timeline for when "White" became a pejorative. It really is the only racial group that you can openly, in public, disparage based solely on their skin color and nobody will even bat an eye.
