With all of the race focus against white people, why do we continue to largely ignore the other side?

I think it's because white folks from the burbs aren't as effected by it. Growing up a poor white boy born on the other side of the tracks I grew up in a neighborhood that was racially diverse so I had to deal with reverse racism from day one. I had to pull myself up by my bootstraps on my own. Most white people are so insulated in the burbs this kind of thing doesn't bother them. I think academic istance should NEVER EVER be based on race, it should be based in income. Is it fair for a minority from a well to do family to get more financial help then a white person who was born in raised in a trailer park? Hell no. The time has come for everyone to clean up their own backyard before knocking on their neighbors door. Everyone should be called on their racist attitudes regardless of race. When a white father tells his offspring he doesn't want them dating outside their race, he is branded a racist. If a Asian father does the same thing society condones it because he is preserving his culture.
