That's because White's have no identity anymore. Same reason America has no "culture" now. We have become so "sensitive" to other peoples cultures that we have lost our own!

Good question. I think the answer is that Whites have dominated the world for centuries and often their 'identity' is bound up with that role of domination, of being better. I don't think anyone calls a White Pole racist because he is proud of his Polish culture, history, ethnic pride. So Whites have an obligation to be sensitive to the fact that persons of their 'race' have dominated and exploited persons of other 'races'. I'm White.

It's how you express it. I know never saw a good, nice, etc. identity for white people. Not to say there are none.

Races have preferential treatment for their identities for one reason- Votes.
