Pretty sure those are script writers, not the white actors
2. Why do you freak out when black people are cast to play white fictional characters?
Most dont
3. What's the big deal if Idris Elba plays James bond?
It isnt and most would agree
4.Why is a big butt and big lips considered attractive on a white woman and unattractive on a black woman?
Its not though...?
5. Do ya'll really think Miley is the one who created twerking? Really?
No but she helped increase its popularity.
6. Why Am I supposed to teach you how to twerk?
Youre not
7. Why is it that white people act as though they have discovered a new trend when people of color have been doing it for virtually years?
Most dont, and refer to 5
8. Why is it when a black woman wears her hair natural, it's seen as inappropriate, but when a white woman does, its praised?
Most would not think its inappropriate so...
9.Like..Can you appropriate my student loans? Can you take that off my hands?
That is literally the worst comparison you could choose
10. Why is it that white crime is seen as an isolated incident, but black crime is a representation of my entire community?
Again, its generally not.
11. Why does talking about race make you feel so uncomfortable?
Because everyone is eager to be offended these days and will call you racist with no hesitation.
12.You don't really believe racism is over because we have a black president, do you?
No, dont think very many people do.
13. Why is it so easy for you to notice when there are no black people around, but you always notice when there are no white people around?
Thats just human nature, white people hang out with white people and in america are the majority. So a situation in which there is no white people is abnormal.
14. Why do you want to be color blind?
No idea where this came from but im assuming people would want it because there would be no racism, though not really cause black and white are shades so...
15. Why do you wanna say the n-word so bad?
Most dont and avoid it like the plague because its offensive.
16. If I don't use it, what makes you think you can?
Some black people do use it so this doesnt make sense.
17. Why do you always want to touch our hair?
Because majority in america dont have it and are curious
18. Who told you it was ok to touch people without their permission?
Most people dont in the first place
19. Why do you feel like having one black friend makes you a cultural expert, or not a racist?
This argument is used by all races and I dont know why.
20. Why do you feel comfortable cursing around your parents?
Most dont
21. Why do you kiss your dogs on the mouth?
?? pretty certain this isnt an exclusively white person thing??
22. How come you can't pronounce names like quvenzhane , but can pronounce La Bouf and schwarzenegger just fine?
Because the white people names you chose are celebrity names and well known.
23. Why is a lions life in Africa more important than peoples lives here in America?
That has nothing to do with race but okay
24. Why is it so hard to acknowledge your privilege?
Its not, but it shouldnt just dismiss every white persons life as just smooth sailing.

1. But what if the scriptwriters are also white?
2. Avoiding the question
4. Iggy Azelea & Amber Rose are gorgeous, tho. So are Nicki Minaj and Serena Williams.
5. And why is that...? Why couldn't the famous black, Mexican, or Asian women do what Miley did? Why couldn't they make a trend like "twerking" if they were doing it beforehand?
8. Again, avoiding the question.
9. Okay. Can you appropriate my annual salary, then?
13. Where you live, probably. But unlike the suburbs, several places in "America" (that's not the country, that's two continents) don't have many white people to begin with, where it's abnormal if there IS a white person. So, no, it's not human nature, it's cultural heritage.
17. That doesn't make it right. Does anyone actually touch a stranger's hair just because they don't have it?
18. YOU JUST ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IN 17!
20. Is this just your D? Like if you can't bubble in the right answer on a test, you bubble the final bubble hoping it's correct?
22. But Quvenzhané is a celebrity... This is exactly the issue. Is it really that difficult to pronounce Tinashe or Azealia? I'll be honest: First time I heard her name, it was difficult to say, but you hear it two more times, (especially since she is an Oscar-nominated actress) it should be a cake walk. Like, how many times did people (not white people, people) **** up Beyoncé's name before getting it right?
P.S. This isn't an attack on you, but don't showcase your ignorance (not stupidity, ignorance) and claim it as truth. Show a little more tact in your responses next time, please.
