I honestly don't feel any guilt for being "caucasian", I'd feel more guilty for being human than anything, but in the end being human is just a result of birth in the same way that ethnicity is. There's no reason anybody should feel guilty for being white, just as nobody of any other ethnicity should feel guilty. The only thing to feel guilty for is being a prick, and if a person is content being a prick, then there's no reason to feel guilty. Just my

I can't take responsibility for stuff that my race did generations ago. And i'm not sure about that racial privilege part. But having said that i do feel it's important to try to treat everyone as equals, just accept that we are all different. It doesn't always have to be a bad thing, some people are too quick to hate for no good reason. I try to look for the good in people, just have to be careful to not overlook the bad parts as well.

The original post is properly worded with plenty of content and throughout the thread people are behaving and not succumbing so far to problematic posting.
This one is going quite nicely so far, if disruption should happening its people taking it to the thread, not the thread itself.
Pubbers civilly discussing, no racism here.
I rarely close racial threads and when I do its usually crap quality ones, like the OP's only content being a racist joke or a racist pitch that is almost guaranteed to lead to trouble.

I replace it with no assumption.
No assumption, in absence of evidence, is the right assumption.

I don't see how not feeling guilty about being white is racist...
