Reblogging because it’s true for me…  except for the foreign music thing.  I like foreign music.

this

makes me

so sad

I am not a freak goddammit.

Fuck off.

You’re right.  You’re not a freak, and I apologize if that’s what you take away from this.  Let me clarify.  I don’t hate any one.  I don’t.  For me, this is not a statement of bias.  This is who I am.  I am a white, successful, heterosexual male. My point in posting this is, as the notes on this image indicate, my demographic gets a lot of hate whenever we decide to actually declare we’re proud to be what we are.  I don’t think any of the characteristics in the list are ‘bad’ traits.  Variety is the spice of life!  But look at the notes on this image and then compare this to a “I’m gay and proud” or “I’m black and proud” message.  It seems the only people who are not allowed to be proud of who they are are white, successful, christian, heterosexuals.

Please, Tumblr, remember that we are people just like you.  Most of us aren’t the bad guys people seem to think we are.  I’m proud to be a white, successful, christian, heterosexual; not because that makes me better than others (it doesn’t), but because that’s who I am.  Just like you should be proud to be whatever you are.

Thank you for this. This was my point exactly. :) I am not insulting anyone. But people make us out to be bad just because we know how to work hard and get ahead in life….. 

people of color, depressed people, and liberal arts majors:

they’re all freaks!!!

Yeah, OP if you don’t get how this is white/christian/heterosexual/cis/etc supremacy then… just… fuck you.

OMG

GET BENT OP

“colored”

jesus christ almighty

Yeeeeeeah.  This is one of those situations where explaining it actually made the people who thought this was a good idea look like even bigger bigoted assholes.  

White folks are “normal”?  Hate to break it to you, but your lack of melanin makes you a mutant.  And if this is a numbers thing, I think you might be outnumbered by Asians.

So…you’re normal for not trying anything outside of your race? I kind of want to be angry about this but it’s kind of just pathetic and stupid.

OP, the issue is Othering and calling anything other than what you are abnormal.

I’m cool with some white people, I’m cool with some Christians, I’m cool with some successful people, what the fuck is normal?, I am heterosexual but I’m cool with homosexuals and I’m cool with people being proud of what they are and I’m encouraging to people who aren’t.

People are pissed because you’re making anything other than you ABNORMAL! What’s wrong with being brown, yellow, black? What’s wrong with struggling or failing until you get success and what is success? What’s wrong with the rest of the sexual gamut? Why can’t I be humble or embarrassed?

You can be proud of what you are WITHOUT making other people feel like shit for not being like you. Homosexuals, people of color, creatives and whatever are stigmatized and do feel alone which is why they announce they’re of themselves because fuck the world for making them feel like shit.
