I am not sure which is more cringey, the litany of erroneous assumptions you splayed out or the act of calling upon the student archetype with the intent of derision. Anti-intellectualism, check. src
As a person of Romani decent, I am very painfully aware of "non-white" people getting treated differently because of adoption of privilege, I'm reminded every time a coworker mouths off about how terrible "gypsies" are.
From what I can gather, /u/Sytev really really really wants to not be white, even though they look white and everyone thinks they're white. Is this the british version of "Actually I'm 1/16th cherokee"?
Prisons try to do this shit to keep the different races from getting too chummy. Institutional power tends to wane when the different gangs aren't fighting each other. Prisons are often racially segregated to create division and not allow people to band together against the guards.
Here's the thing. /r/legaladvice is a train wreck with no coherent purpose or philosophy. No responsible attorney would advise people to post their legal problems "anonymously" on the internet. No responsible attorney would encourage people to take seriously "advice" from anonymous strangers. The reactions, suggestions, and "advice" are frequently awful. There is no credible sign that the mods have any grasp of what "advice" is awful or what is not. The disclaimers about the purpose of the sub are incoherent and contradictory. The purpose of the forum appears to be look-at-the-car-crash entertainment. I like that as much as the next person, but it's not admirable when it's celebrated and encouraged in a way that harms the best interests of people with problems. In fact, it's bad. Very bad.

Whites can survive anything, like cockroaches.

Good on him for promoting milkocide by miscegenation.

He was nearly right. He should have said "don't trust the white men" and not people.

Men aren't actual people tbh.

Either they did a really bad job of forming coherent sentences in that thread or I had an off day. Lol
