Just because recent terror attacks are linked to Islam, doesn't make all Muslims terrorists.

Statistics of Muslims in favour of terror attacks and murder

But yes NOT all Muslims, a percentage commit the atrocities like clock work since 2001 with such regularity you can set you clock by it. However a whopping global percentage of the faith are in favour of terrorism even if not directly responsible for making bombs or funding fighters.

Just because European colonialists of the past murdered their way to sovereign expansion, doesn't make all westerners today ignorant and selfish.

....and white guilt right on time. European colonial powers shaped what we have today, burgeoning innovation and economic affluence on a global scale. For what mistakes were made it was over a century ago. Its not comparable with attrocities commited today in the name of Islam, a political, ideological regressive world view with no benefits to society.

It's become an unspoken covenant, written into the fabric of society, that having white skin is an essential stepping-stone to a better life.

Its not spoken about because it doesn't exist in the west, its a fallacy.

The caste system is only in Near and Central Asia (Middle East, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka)

Despite the fact that we were both hard workers, each with a tertiary education, I later discovered that Natalia was paid far less than I was. She also struggled to obtain a necessary work visa from the employer, which was terribly unfair. It was awful to witness her anguish and disappointment trying to sort out her visa issues. I think it's safe to assume that Natalia's difficulties in the workplace were attributed to her race and gender.

Then the hammer of truth comes smashing down through the glass ceiling having traveled abroad and lived in the UAE, a moderate Islamic country compared to the rest of the Middle East.

In most countries around the world, white people seem to be treated with the most respect. In the Middle East, native Arabs from the GCC region are treated with great respect, and then white people are sort of next in line. Meanwhile Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Filipinos, who, in the UAE for example, together make up 52.48 per cent of the total population, are noticeably treated as lesser individuals.

I have seen this personally when I was staying in Dubai for an extended period a few years back.
