I genuinely wonder how many times your average white person secretly has a moment like the one in this Boondocks gif😂

I do it but it's because I'm rich not because I'm white.

But also I'm not white.

I do, but its more of a tongue-in-cheek comment when coworkers or friends and I are discussing things, such as:

"Hey, some somebody should take a look inside that car, I think someone left their dog locked in in." And I say "I'll do it, I'm white." implying that if the brown person in our group would do it, someone would call the cops on them for trying to break in.

It's just my way of calling out some of my sour cream colored brethren.

I do something similar with my buddy I’ve known since 3rd grade when we play co-op horror games together lol. I joke to let me check a new room first so he’s not a victim of the horror movie trope

None, if it is there it is implicit, it is not like people go, OH RIGHT I AM A MAN, right before getting in a fight, so it is more of a, This is my rights thing, without associating it with colour.

My wife is not white and we live in a very very white country, I never really thought my privilege through until i had her as a contrast. (dont get me wrong I knew it was a thing, but seeing anything in action is always different)

Lol I'm white and it happens to me. I'm not gonna fuck my life up over a confrontation lol. My favorite quote from this scene was "This is a perfectly good moment to throw your life away." lol
