But white people, as a whole, have never faced institutionalized discrimination on an industrial level like other races have, mostly due to white people. Names like honkey and cracker might elicit a more visceral response if white people had ever been basically imported and enslaved to build a railway across a country, for instance.
My mistake, what you said was what I meant to say. You said it much better than me. It has to do with all the colonial rule back in the days where races of colour were treated like second class citizens, sold into slavery, forced to fight wars for their colonial masters, etc.
