Here's the deal - I regularly get into arguments with family and friends on these things. I'm not popular at parties. I don't honestly like going out because arguments like these are exhausting so I don't go out as much.
If you're white and you don't have these sorts of discussions where you call out racist, sexist xenophobic crap, you're just not doing the work.
And yes. It sucks. It sucks to be That Guy. But other things suck worse.

BTW, as the numbers show, half of the white population believes this. If you're white and you don't hear attitudes like this from white friends and family and coworkers, you really do live in bubble. ETA: I don't want an award for this. I want to stop doing it. Seriously. More of us have to do this to make that happen.
