Again, you're conflating the statement "caucasians are an oppressive and racist people" with "caucasians are currently more oppressive than x, or more racist than y".
Caucasians are historically the most oppressive people on the planet. If you think otherwise, you've never picked up a history book. I love America and my native ancestors as much as anyone else (the most important of which, by the way, happens to be Thomas Jefferson), but facts are just facts.
And by the way, guess which race the Germans belong to?

Lol, yes, I'm aware that the Germans are white. I'm also aware that they still support Israel to this day because of their guilt. Meanwhile, Turkey denies that the Armenian Genocide even happened, while condemning the occupation of Palestine (while they themselves occupy Cyprus). It's easy from our American context to define oppression as this White vs Others concept, but in reality it has never been that simple. China has oppressed peoples on its periphery, and still occupies portions of India. Empires like Britain, colonial France, and America have done things like this. The difference is, America and Europe, have moved forward and stopped being as bad as they used to be. I'm an immigrant. I don't know how to make this any clearer, but my life is better in Whitey's American than in my home. There are literally millions of people who feel the same way but somehow that gets ignored.
Also, the Mongols killed 20% of the planet in the course of about two centuries. I think they win the most oppressive argument.
