I think most people definitely don't get how it works.
I can see how it works in some instances that being white is a statistical advantage but even then it doesn't work 100% relative to other races from areas of Asia like Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean.
Also let's say white people statistically are the least likely to be killed by police (which isn't true). When is the statistical advantage no longer an advantage to a white person?
Let's say a white family have a bad reputation so police follow them around or a white person who's in the middle of being beaten to death by police. That statistical advantage he had for being white really wasn't much of an advantage for him as an individual because once he's dead the advantage of him being white is useless to him.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
