The color of your skin has bought you a lot. When you were a kid, my parents were making a dollar a day. When your parents were kids, my grandparents were facing famine. Now, finally, for the first time in all of modern history, a large group of non-white people has escaped crushing poverty. They're not rich by any means. You'd still be richer than 99.9% of your neighbors if you moved to China, and you'd still be generally worshipped for your skin color, but at the very fucking least Chinese people are no longer starving to death by the millions.
You look at this tiny measure of progress and hope, and you declare it repulsive. You think if you're no longer standing far on top of everybody else, if you sink to the 90th percentile of privilege from the 99th, you'll become a "second class human", and that possibility makes war "inevitable".
The main thing I have learned from a year of commenting on HN is that many very comfortable people here who think just like you, and it is deeply disappointing.
