Firstly, whoever it was that talked about discrimination against white people - congratulations, buddy! You discovered reverse racism. You are only 40 years late to the party though.

 This is the biggest cringefest that I have ever encountered on sajha. It is saddening that we are discussing the idea of a master race in 2013 - an idea that the US discussed and denounced decades ago. However, I find a greater sense of contentment in the fact that some of us out here actually do understand discrimination and will stand our ground to fight it.

I could write a book about how gravely misinformed some of us are about the power dynamics when it comes to race. However, it seems to be a lost cause here. I don't know if it is people's upbringing or their schooling that has failed them this terribly, but in either case I fear for them and their offspring. I fear for the future when one of their kids comes home after facing discrimination at school, and their parent tells them, " Suck it up, white people are superior to you". I don't even want to hear their views on other social issues like sexual abuse, rape etc where race and other power dynamics come into play. I am far more scared for their offspring who will be brought up in an environment so revolting than I am angered/baffled at their stupidity.

But the truth is these people will not cease to exist. And they will be this confident about their gravely misinformed views. I am all for spreading awareness against social issues – specially when it comes to aforementioned ideas that are so wrongly conservative (is that a term?). However, like I said, I think that it’s a lost cause. There is a saying in Nepali “Suteko manche lai biujhauna sakincha, sute jasto gareko manche lai biujhauna sakinna”.

 There isn’t much we can do in sajha to change the views and mindset of people who are arguing for the sake of arguing and playing devil’s advocate for some attention. Add to that multiple monikers to put across their views further, and we are truly defeated. But we can stay content because we tried, and we can only hope that their children will grow up to become people that their parents could never be.

 I request we stop feeding the trolls.
