to heaven I go then....WAIT. omg I have French white people in me. Wait. WAIT, do I cancel myself out now? am I stuck in some weird heaven/purgatory state now? and they were male...oh my god
and see kids, this is why race is a stupid and baseless system to begin with and we should all just see each other as people. Great work as always humon
lol I should know when they say that white people treat black people as lesser beings we actually mean the English though generally no one is like that apart from people who believe they should follow their ancestor.
@Igneous12 Well... Europeans in general, especially the former empires/powerful nations with colonies everywhere .
It's more of a "powerful people treating different-colored people like shit, that just happen to be white" thing.
Personally I think that color is much less a factor than people think, historically. Powerful people throughout all time have used ANY excuse (race/ancestry, social class, tribal groupings, even geographic location, profession, orientation, and most significantly religion) to blame, subject, enslave, slaughter, dismiss and otherwise be horrible to those they perceive to be lesser.
It's true that some groups tend to be in power, and thus in a position to be horrible, more often than other groups, but there are plenty of people with (relatively) very little power and influence and STILL choose to be horrible to others, so that doesn't really mean much.
I dont know how it is in England and I get the humor in this but a little guilt is hardly a lot to pay for safety. I would love to just feel bad sometimes cause my ancestors were jerks but instead I get to deal with racist people everyday who either think I'm stupid, being abused or need their old clothes. People walk up to me and touch my hair or face on the street and pet me like an animal and those are the good racists. Its rare now but hate crimes and such happen at least once a year in my city alone and they are violent and horrible. Most of the black people in my city don't have the money to move to areas where good schools and homes are. Unable to buy their homes due to redlining they pay over 1000 bucks a month to live in ghettos and white people are either too scared to move into black neighborhoods or (like any parents) want their kids in the good schools and safe environments. I get why this is funny and I really do love your comics. Its just that when you sit by and do nothing I think you at least deserve to feel guilty. Of course this isn't everyone and I live in a particularly racist city, pull yourself up by your bootstraps and all that, but yeah.. food for thought.

You should've written "White people have a history of treating everyone else as lesser beings."
