    The difference is that white people practically never face difficulties that are related to the color of their skin, there would therefore not be any reason to “stand with white people” except one motivated by racism.

      Just as the other guy argues, nobody said anything about only standing with white people, you can assume one stands for people of all races with the statement.

        Depends entirely if you are in a country of mostly white people.

        Saying “I stand with the majority” comes off a lot like “fuck minorities”. While saying you “stand with the minorities”, doesn’t imply the same back since the majority isn’t at risk of being forgotten.

        You can say you stand with white people, if you live somewhere central Africa. Since they are not a majority there and thus could use the support. The majority don’t need the support because they are the majority.
