It's not limited to white people, it's limited to assholes who know their attitudes are socially unacceptable but feel they have a right to them anyway. To be fair, that's usually white people, but doesn't have to be.

Makes sense, because "I have a right to my unenlightened dickery" is a pretty sure sign (or symptom?) of privilege -- so it's more likely going to be white people on race issues, guys on gender issues, etc.
Obviously it doesn't mean all white people -- I'm another white person who was never given the secret jerk-ass handbook -- but if someone's gonna do it, it's gonna be the people who're used to being on top who think it's sooo unfair to have to check themselves.
The people on the bottom just get to take it until they snap, and then get lectured for painting 'all x people' with the same brush. :|
I almost got upset with you about this and called you on being over defensive. And then I thought about how often I have been dog piled for saying something which other people decided to interpret so they could be offended and understood why you got defensive.
I wasn't being critical of your statement, just pointing out that assholes come in all flavors.
If I wanted to call you out, I wouldn't be passive aggressive. I'd tell you to eat shit and die. I don't do passive aggressive. I do straight on confrontation.

Eat shit and die.
