The Unbearable Lightness of Whiteness
By Pete McArdle

It ain’t easy being white.

I should know.  On the Caucasian paleness spectrum, I’m perilously close to albino.  I’ve seen cadavers with more color than moi.  In a snowy landscape, I’m practically invisible!

And I’ve lived my long, happy life thinking that the prevailing American culture has been all about respect for others, no matter which sex, no matter how different in appearance, no matter the level of melanin in their skin.

Yet I woke up one morning, not too long ago, and found out that it was perfectly fine to discriminate against exactly one group of Americans: white people!  And not only could you get away with dissing, demeaning, and disparaging Whitey in public, but it turns out there’s only one shade of American who’s even capable of racism.

Who, you ask?

Why, Whitey, that’s who!  You can say the most awful, despicable things about palefaces in general because — they’re the only racists!

Circular logic, anyone?
