Yes

Well next time be wiser about what skin colour you come to this world with! #notpolicefault

My mother told me once it was a consideration when she was thinking of having kids with my father - bringing kids into the world with a strike against them from birth.

Well I am sure she is glad she made the right choice

It's a strike in America, not everywhere.

With the Brexit stuff bringing the nastier opinions of the locals out in the open, I sure am happy I can hide my immigrant status as long as I keep my mouth shut.

I've been invited to skip security checks in India and Africa (Kenya and Ethiopia come to mind) because I'm white.

I've mentioned before being on a flight from Brazil to Miami, flight mostly full of Brazilians.  There's a long line for customs for visitors, a very short line for US citizens.  We get asked if we're American - we respond that we're Canadians.  We are told to go to the US line anyways.

Your post is yet another example of white privledge. A white guy goes to a place like India and that is considered to show class. An actual Indian is considered not worthy of being here (by a lot of people at least).

I have, it didn't help.

You broke Godwin's Law.
