White privilege stories
Unlikely
I'm sorry to hear that you like diversity.
I live in Brampton, outside of Toronto, one of the biggest examples of "diversity" not working. I'm just saying your green text sounds like bullshit, or you're just underage.

>nova scotian
>white
lmao
It legit happened.
I lived in Sutter county with my mom and her husband.
The school I went to was a big mix.
One time, I was in class, and the teacher noted how diverse the class was; we had 2 Muslims, 1 black, like 13 Mexicans, 5 whites, and like 5 Indians. It's the most diverse place I've ever seen, let alone lived in.
Africville is a bullshit story fed to blacks that just arrived in Nova Scotia, already freed peoples, living in a ghetto that they created.
should of moved to Idaho or something. It sucks that happened tho
Get back to work Lobstercoon.
I'm tired of you Pogiescotians overclaiming on EI and asking Ottawa for gibs.
I was born and raised in California.
I live on the east coast now.
I'm glad you moved back home. California was once a paradise but nows its a cess pool.

I definitely think white privilege exists but it's not what people think it is. White privilege, or specifically white male privilege is our ability to overcome odds through sheer strength of will and not play the victim. That's not to say other races can't do that either but it's a lot rarer.
Yep
I feel like I know you and you're going to confirm the story. Fuck.. Do I know you? Shit.
t. Jamal McKenzie from Coal Burner Nova Scotia
I too grew up in GARY Indiana from 1983-1997 in the Aetna Section DECATUR ST between 10th and 13th. Had a new blakc kid walk past my desk and flip me over in it. The teacher and principle were in the hall- heard the sound, he got in trouble. Was it that I was a white girl? Or that it was 1989?? Times have changed. It would be well you shouldn't have been so white and he is obviously poorer than you cause he is black... THE RACISM is still in your WORDS when you call them POOR, TROUBLED, becuase they are BLACK -- what about poor hispanics? poor whites? poor asians? poor fucking anybody else?
>get shot
>go to hospital
>they won't treat me because black man got shot 2 minute ago and they need the ER surgery room for him
>they explain it's because of my privilege
>die
lol no you don't know me. I'm from the modesto area, and had issues with punjabis in the yuba city area.
>Was it that I was a white girl?
>Overclaiming on EI
Actually, the government receives more EI than it gives back.
Remember, the tax that comes out goes to pay for your Employment insurance; the money you get on EI is literally yours. The EI system actually provided money for people who lost their jobs, their own money. It also encouraged more people to work, because you required actual hours to be able to go on EI.
Lobster fishing is seasonal (due to regulation), therefore, we need the EI to survive, therefore we get the EI. It's our own money, given back to us.
This is why we vote liberal everyime. Most of us are actually socially conservative; we hate what our country is becoming. There's simply no option, because we have to choose between a lesser of 2 evils.
this is tumblr u fucking LARP.
sage
meant to say isnt, too fucking triggered to think
>Not kicking those niggers behind the cock like a real east coaster.
Youre not privileged, you’re an embarrassment.
>pic related, guess which boat you are.
Why does this sound like borderline subvertion shilling? Or is this newfag autistic?
>Parents have me while very young
>Get into communal housing in Oslo for young couples, cheaper than usual rent
>Fix it up with own money and work, few weeks later get told to get out as it is to be used for immigrats
>New place, same deal
>Few weeks later, get kicked out as it is to be used for immigrants
>Move out of Oslo for a couple of years, life is good, close to family, I get a childhood gf and play around in the woods
>Move back to Oslo
>Immigrant kid hits me for no good reason, so I go home with a bunch of bruises
>Mom goes to school and complains, teacher responds with "Little Ahmed has had a hard time growing up, due to his circumstances" Despite little Ahmed being born in Norway under better circumstances than me..
>Personally been attempted robbed by immigration twice, and witnessed a mass shooting by one due to a jacket queue dispute..
Needless to say, my parents are rather far right.
Too low IQ to think
When comes the day of the rake. Can east Asians be spared? And stop lumping us in with Pakis, and Arabs. I hate it. It would be like us lumping you guys in with Albanians and Turkey.
I work in Brampton from time to time and I know what you mean. Such a shit city

I still dont have a qt but I have my own place.
Not quite as harrowing as some will have grown up with but being scared to leave your house as a kid for years was no small thing. People who have never seen real poverty for kids have no idea, throwing gibs at a drunk money is like setting it on fire no matter what race you are. I still think about some of the moments I had to go through now and probably always will.
Dude I didn't even have it that bad but I still wasn't even par for where I grew up. Fucking idiot parents pretending to have more money than we did. Almost everyone I knew could at least PARTICIPATE in social life. If you are even remotely poor living in "middle class" neighborhoods its hell.
