[quote CharSiu]@NonnyMouse1337 I am really interested in your comment about white people being considered lowest of the low in certain circles. I’m not white but have met people that feel almost guilty and fear their own as it’s referred to sometimes white privilege.[/quote]
Hello @CharSiu !
To expand on what I said earlier - Some people have a tendency to get carried away with any kind of viewpoint or movement. There are many good things about Western civilizations, but there have also been bad aspects of it, such as colonisation, slavery etc. It is good to acknowledge and talk about the bad as well as the good, so we learn from it, and understand how this has shaped our societies. Most people would agree with this.
Some people are unable to have a balanced outlook, though. They are only interested in focusing on the bad / negative side. To them, Western civilization is pure evil with no redeeming features. Every white person to them is inherently evil or racist or stained with this sinfulness. All the problems in the world and all the problems faced by people who are not white is because of white people as a whole. Ironically, many who hold this belief are themselves white. The self-loathing would be funny, but these activist types are zealous about embedding these crazy ideas in policies and institutions.
They conveniently avoid the fact that most of human history has been defined by colonisation and slavery and wars. That would shatter the myth that white people are uniquely bad. They cannot acknowledge that humans of all skin colours have done terrible things to one another and continue to do so.
Anyway, so if a white person subscribes to the notion that all white people are inherently evil and racist, and the social circles they hang out in are also pushing this ideology, then this can affect their mindset and behaviours. I've seen these types - lots of grovelling and apologising about one's 'white privilege', fawning and obsessing over black and brown people (as long as these 'noble but downtrodden savages' toe the ideological line though). They don't like those of us who disagree with them. 
There's a bizarre and interesting dynamic in these social circles. You have to declare your 'privileges' and apologise profusely for things you have no control over such as skin colour, sexual orientation and lack of disabilities. Being straight and white is considered very boring, very plain and akin to being a racist. So that's the lowest rung. The more 'oppression' points you can gather, the higher up the social ladder you can climb and gain respect and admiration. People end up unconsciously playing this game.
Those with darker skin tones automatically move up a few levels and can use this to their advantage to look down on and guilt trip those in their group with white skin. So if you're white and want some kind of respect and deference, there's a real motivation to come up with labels and identities. You can't identify as a skin colour yet (give it time), so the best identity labels are the ones that are the most vague and least verifiable - queer, trans, non-binary etc are the best ones. You can also throw in 'neurodivergent' or some other hidden disability to bump yourself up a few more rungs. Now you are viewed with much more respect and positivity, and you in turn can look down on other white people who don't adopt such vacuous labels.
If you're business savvy, you can also write a book or become a 'diversity' spokesperson - it's now acceptable to talk about your 'oppressions' and your 'personal journey' and have an opinion on anything and everything.
