I always wanted to know where does this put me in the American race war:

- I come from Eastern Europe

- my ancestors were enslaved, bought and sold for hundreds of years as far as we know

- my family was raped, prosecuted and killed by NKVD, KGB and has been through gulag

- my family always struggled with poverty and only hard work and education of multiple generations got me where I am

- I’m white and didn’t see a person of color until I went abroad

- I emigrated to US 10 years ago

Company trainings are obviously a wrong place to ask this but: what is my place in the racism discourse? Why am I lumped with all the white people group and forced to “accept” white privilege? How do I get out of this madness without hurting myself?
