I did. It makes a good point but only covers one of the many problems regarding this larger issue. To think that all of the minorities problems are minorities' fault is just as stupid as saying that all of it is from white supremacy. But while the article does make a very valid point on how this shouldn't be a big deal it has nothing to do with the point I am trying to make.

I think everyone here can agree that all of this controversy and talks of double standard is receiving too much attention because it isn't that big of a deal. But where is the controversy whenever a double standard happens against blacks or other minorities? How many topics on here are from white supremacy screwing over the lower class and other minorities? Do we see that as normal or do we think that they have progressed enough and we should stop worrying about it now?

The thought of only talking about the double standard against whites proves that we have an even deeper standard against minorities by not further fighting for their rights. There is still racism in this country and world and no matter how much we want to push it aside, we have to fight this battle to the end. We should work together to get rid of this monster, not fight against each other for it.
