cool story. doesn’t change the fact that you used “white people” in a way that implies you think all white people are like that, which is bigoted. feel free to double down though im sure that will convince me.
White and black aren’t the same. Just like cis and trans aren’t the same, and straight and gay aren’t the same. There’s a difference between punching up and punching down. There’s also a difference between insulting a group you aren’t part of, and criticising a culture you were born into. I think I have the right to criticise the environment I was raised in. And so do the people who have lived their lives being oppressed by that culture.

I think maybe your white fragility is having a negative impact on your literacy.
replace white with black and think about whether it sounds bigoted
