    As someone who is "white" in some contexts (US) but not others (Europe where I currently am): *this* is what it is. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/02/world/americas/brexit-donald-trump-whites.html …pic.twitter.com/Do74YPWtdZ

        The part so many people are missing is that this straight up ties to economic issues, and who you think the government does/should support.

        also, Euros don't think in Europe don't think in terms of White/nonWhite, as you know, being there & all. Sophist.

        This is why the US isn't going to be majority minority. Most US Latinos are primarily European in ancestry (53%).

        In that case, can "white privilege" be experience by black people in African countries?

        Don't worry--too many Americans will decide that you're Muslim and therefore "other" regardless of skin color. Sigh.

        Which one is more problematic currently in US? Being non-white or being Muslim?

        in the context of US law both racial identity and the definition of racism are pretty strictly defined. This fact is often forgotten

        I don't agree. As the article @zeynep linked to points out, the issue is "otherness".

        Did you hear the amazing TAL piece about an African-American living in France gradually being othered as she lost her accent?
