White people are the largest voting block and they (we) turned out in vast majority for Trump. (Not that I voted for him, ofc)

People did this. White people did this. Conservatives did this. You can group it however you like. All are accurate.

I understand it's uncomfortable at first. You feel bad because you identify as white and hearing that the majority of white people sucks kinda hurts. But it's not you. You don't need to worry.

Pattern based generalizations are just part of the language. If I asked you what color the sky is in normal conversation, you'd say blue. You wouldn't dive into a ten minute diatribe about the multitude of possible colors. The reason this doesn't bother you is that you don't identify as a sky.

But if you're white, I'm not going to trust you until I get to know you and figure out if you have empathy. For now, I assume every white guy is a trumper, and I'll be right most of the time.
