Actually, it wasn't. It's more directed at, say, the hispanics who won't talk to you if you don't speak spanish, even if they need help, and you're willing to sit there with your few words of the language and try to work it out.
It's directed to the few black male drivers I've had (out of quite a few black males), that when they see a white woman trying to tell then what to do (even though it's part of my job), will just 'uh-huh' at me and do whatever the hell they want to do unless I get right in their face--and even then, the chances are good they'll ignore me anyway. Because hey, if I went after them like I do the white drivers for being rude and not doing their part of the job? I'll get reported for discrimination.
It's directed at the benagali crew I had at the convenience store I worked at before this job who wouldn't do any of the work they were assigned (and I would end up having to do, even though they were cashiers and I was an assistant manager), and yet would complain when the jobs wouldn't get done. And then freak out when they'd get written up by the regional supervisor.
In regards to white supremacy, I think the whole race gets labeled for the sake of a select few--the same whole that gets just as short shafted as the blacks, the chinese, the native americans, or what have you....by the same select few that are shafting them. I don't see people saying 'some of these whites are bad news' when I read stuff, I see 'white supremacy is everywhere' being said. It's very rarely acknowledged that it's a certain portion of the population...or that it's not just the white people doing it.
