I hate to break it to you guys (maybe you're not white, I have no way of knowing) but being white is awesome. It's way better than the alternatives, at least when it comes to ease of living.
Being a while MALE is like being dealt three aces. Being born a white male who lives in America is pretty much a winning hand. I mean it does get better... a RICH white male American, for instance... but it's certainly very rare.
It's okay to admit it. It doesn't make you racist. I find a lot of sorta-racist white people have a hard time admitting it, because they feel like it will out them as racists. Don't worry, it won't. All that other ignorant stuff you say about minority differences makes you racist; admitting that being white grants you advantages doesn't. It's safe. Trust me.
