Decades of right wing propaganda has them convinced white people are actually being victimized by nonwhite people. (and similarly, straight people are being victimized by trans and gay people and men are victims of women and hashtag me too)

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

Thanks Fox News! I didn't know I was such a victim but now I feel rage because it's so obvious that as a white guy I'm definitely #1 victim in the world!
