Not in my interest, nor yours.

What does your disclaimer even mean? I took it as “Here are my views, but I’m going to whine if you disagree and cite this disclaimer.” Your behavior supports this conclusion.

White male here: I do not feel in the least bit oppressed for my European ancestry or male gender. The former was different for my Irish immigrant ancestors, but it is not the case now. The worst oppression in society is that against the poor. However, if you think the occasional comment about political correctness or discrimination against minorities or women is actually an attack on you, then that’s laughable. Men are paid more than women, on average, and occupy higher positions. White men are paid more, on average, than any other group, with the exception of Asian men. The vast majority of government leaders are white men. In fact, we have just had our first President that is not white (well, only half, and not visibly so), but still a man. The vast majority of corporate leaders in this country are white men.

But wait, none of this matters because of your disclaimer. Ha! Learn some history, and learn that if you’re going to say outrageous things, people will disagree. Avoid this website if you want to make comments like this and not be opposed.
