Can't afford it myself, and I don't know any country lacking insurance adjusters

I think you need to look at prison sentencing disparities if you don't think white people have it easier than black people.

non-Aryan
I'd say it's not a good place to be Aryan at all.
And maybe you shouldn't misuse the same words the Nazis intentionally misused in the future.

I need to watch the wishmaster series. Of all the stuff with the concept of evil genies that twist the meaning of wishes into anything BUT the intention of the wisher, it would be that. Or so I heard.

I'd say the term has since been appropriated, the same way that all facial tissues are mostly referred to as kleenex. If the proper Aryans wanted exclusive right to the name, they should have made more use of it

Yeah, stupid ethnic group just allowing a genocidal European nation on another continent co-opt their identity like that!
Just like those other people from India just allowing Europeans to call the people indigenous to the Americas by that name too.
Clearly if they were superior, like
white peopletrue Aryans, they would have protected the name by international trademark. -

Finally, someone gets it. If trademarking intellectual property was wrong, Disney wouldn't have pioneered the field!

Everybody is ridiculous. I'm not saying people aren't racist, but there's no way to act on that fact. Go ahead and try lol. Now if you had money, it wouldn't matter because you could afford a good lawyer to keep you out of trouble. Not everybody can be rich, but at least they can act on it. Good luck "acting on racism" because everybody already knows and nobody is going to change their mind if they're already racist.
Do whatever you want!

Sure, I meant overall and in a wide sense. There is plenty of instances where being a man is harder, there are places where being white could lead to discrimination against you, etc. etc.
But that is beyond my point.

It was super clear what the other commenter meant, and you're just looking for conflict and thought policing everywhere I met you. Don't.

Sure, fair point. In certain places, it might actually be harder to be white, even.
That's just a general statement on my side, a kind of example.

The reports of my psychic powers have been greatly exaggerated.

Tell me you don't know what systemic racism is without telling me you don't know what systemic racism is.

All of this is framed from a US perspective, I apologize to the extent that it's relevant.
getting paid less for the same work
Essentially not a real thing, and if it is happening at a particular employer it's illegal and time to sue. The wage gap that's published is measured as the difference in median total earnings for full time year round workers by sex, and any attempt to constrain it further to be "for the same work" (like adjusting for industry, role, hours worked, experience, etc) rapidly causes it to diminish. It is at it's heart an artifact of differences in the average life path of men and women - to the point that young, childless, urban, educated women actually earn more than similar men.
and not at all for all the work that isn’t considered work by men like raising kids and running a home
Taking care of one's home/family isn't paid work for anyone, regardless of sex. Men aren't paid for more stereotypically male housework either, like lawn maintenance, cleaning gutters, dealing with pests, plumbing or electrical, that sort of thing. If you do domestic work for another household, generally you do get paid for it.
Also, there's no third party mandating anything about how your household divides the tasks necessary to keep things going - you negotiate your own division of household labor with any partner(s) or roommate(s). For example in my household my wife and I both work full time, and for most "departments" of stuff that need done we each take a role. She does the laundry, I fold and put away (because her clothes have more complicated cleaning directions, and it's harder for her to lift and haul stuff around). Whoever cooked doesn't do dishes. I bring in groceries, she puts them up (the steps and heavy lifting are easier for me). Etc, etc.
again, statistically it’s pretty much all women
Dig deeper into those stats. Specifically, look at the differences in numbers that measure recent victimization versus longer periods. What you tend to see is the more "fresh" the experience is (looking at recent months or years rather than lifetime) the more likely men are to report it (almost as though men are repeatedly told by society that they can't be victims of sexual assault and doubly can't be the victim of a woman until they internalize it so they mentally file those experiences away as something else [if you can't be a victim then what happened can't be a violation]- I'm speaking from experience on that one) and previous 12 month numbers fare closer to like a 60/40 split presuming you don't also do some trickery of categorization where (for example) ways a woman are likely to sexually assault a man get filed into a subcategory of "other" to make the comparison less obvious, with women being a majority of perpetrators against men (ignoring the incarcerated of course because then men are a large majority of both perpetrators and victims - there's a reason term "rape culture" was originally coined to describe prison).

Lol. I don't know how you managed to have the absolute worst take to this stupid comic, but congratulations.
"The only racism Black people experience is one person not holding a door." LMFAO

It's not a "take", goofball, it's a joke. Get over yourself.
