Or,
The Angel Race, because whites are held up to such high standards relative to other skin colors.
Related is the hatred of "
Western Civilization" and/or "
capitalism", also known as "
the only culture and economic system to ever exist at this level of scale and advancement." Is there some
other space-age globally-dominant-for-centuries paradigm that you are comparing us to?
David Wong on this tendency, when expanded to humanity as a whole:
Obviously, a thing can only be good or bad compared to another thing. "People are trash" makes no sense, because collectively, these are the only people who exist. So they're trash compared to what? What better version of humanity are you using as your standard?
All you're revealing about yourself with this worldview is that you've spent so little time around actual, flawed people that you've set a standard for behavior that makes sense only in your imagination. It's the equivalent of a guy getting upset that his real girlfriend doesn't live up to the anime girl on his body pillow.
