Oprah Winfrey 'was victim of racism' in Switzerland

113. Actually, it means that you are the issue that the west is struggling with.

And some don't like to be reminded of it.
Seems to me that the circumstances of your birth enhance your (potential) ability to participate in, observe, and objectively evaluate group behavior, especially when it comes to the two groups where you have intimate contact/knowledge, not negate that ability.
I suspect, those who dismiss your arguments, are themselves, conflicted by the issues you highlight, especially if the dismissal is based on your ancestry.
You are clearly right in suggesting that the west is struggling with issues created by past policy and action. We are an evolving society and nothing, from our past, is ever entirely left behind.
Yet, I'm not sure white people can win that argument with white people either. They are just too defensive (either embarrassed by how they might have personally profited from being part of the dominant race/culture/society or ignorant of how they might have benefited, or been harmed, by that reality).
They accuse you of stereotyping (a bad thing) when you use generalizations (a tool, derived from statistics and used by social scientists, to describe trends, attitudes, behaviors, etc. that are manifest in populations), in an attempt to nullify your argument.
You are labeled one who uses stereotypes (a racist), an outsider with suspect motives, and curtly dismissed or expelled, swatted like a mosquito.
Seems to me, the whole process validates your initial thoughts about race and the inheritance of imperialism.
