      That point is very American centric but it’s telling that that’s the only part you want to engage with, going so far as to misrepresent their position.

      They said it was part of the problem, not “all the fault of” as you said.

      Are you purposely being a troll or are you just actually that stupid?

      Either way I’ll humour you.

      My comment was a general statement made from experience in majority white western countries. In countries that aren’t majority white, then its obviously slightly different. But the main takeaway is that political movements that seek to equalise power imbalances are going to piss off the people that tradionally held that power, as instinctual people don’t like having their power reduced.

      And on Brazil specifically 47% of Brazil is white mostly die to Portuguese colonisation, and those white people have a disproportionate amount of power compared to non whites in Brazil. So yes, even in Brazil white people have privilege.
