Life isn’t always fair, no matter how much we wish it could be. Sure, there are times when justice prevails and good triumphs, but far too often, the scales seem hopelessly tipped.
It’s the kind of realization that can really make your blood boil. And it certainly did for these Redditors, who didn’t hold back as they shared some of society’s biggest double standards in a recent thread.
Scroll down to read their thoughts, and don’t forget to share your own in the comments!

Vilifying an entire race and gender. You can be racist to white people, especially white men. But it cannot be the opposite.
CNN can release a news article called “There’s Nothing Scarier Than Angry White Men”. If you replaced “white men” with “black people”, there would be public outrage and much consequence.

Black people can openly say “I don’t like white people” and it’s acceptable. A white person cannot say that about their own race without termination from their job, being deplatformed and deemed a racist. I think both of these attitudes towards one another are disgusting. I don’t feel that way about a race. It’s bothersome that someone would judge me just because of my skin color too.
Progress on race issues begins when everyone has the same social behaviors and mutual respect. Not when one gets a special license to be hateful and the other is supposed to put up with it. Most things deemed “racist” are not about race anyway, it’s tribalism. A very natural thing for all of us.
People with cultural similarities will always predominately flock together. Race is the first and most obvious commonality that make make a group of people flock together. In a diverse room, Christian’s will naturally flock together, blacks will flock together, gays will flock together and so on.
Everyone, without exception or even admission, is most comfortable with people that are most like them from physical appearance to politics, interests, and beliefs. There’s countless studies on it. Instead of understanding and respecting the human condition, we normalize blaming and vilifying white people because they are the majority in the proverbial room. .

If you establish yourself as a "hard worker" everyone notices when you have a bad day and don't perform to your usual standard. Meanwhile "slackers" are praised for performing slightly above average.
