Everybody has a right to express their opinion without being jumped down their throats. That's one of the best things about being a white male - if i express an opinion, usually it's just taken as an el_bryanto opinion - it might be a dumb opinion or a smart opinion (mostly smart in my opinion) - but except in some cases it's not taken as "Well that's the white male opinion."

If you are a woman or a racial or ethnic minority, well than everything you say comes with the additional baggage of being a Woman or being Black or Hispanic or Asian, which the listener is able to unpack and interpret what you say anyway they like. Pretty lousy.
