Same here, pretty much, and I think that's something a lot of white people shouldn't forget too soon. For a lot of us, we're only "white" today because the system was *oh so generous* enough to let us be included, don't forget that.
And even with that label making you relatively better off today, the even richer and more privileged fuckers at the elite of society still don't give a fuck about you if you're working class. A lot of you don't realise that. Just keep voting Brexit and Trump though, I'm damn sure that will help.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
