I am curious how you are suffering from not having a "white celebratation". I understand why there might want to be a protected space for certain groups that, up until recently, were systematically treated harmfully. Whites don't fall into that category. So, I don't understand how it harms you that you cannot have a white party. Can you explain what harms you suffer?
This is racism. "I know you had it hard, but you're white, so your suffering is less relevant than black person's suffering". You might argue that this is the right thing to do anyway, but it's still racism.
You didn't answer my question. Please outline how being white has lead to your suffering or your ancestors suffering. I am not saying they did not suffer - everyone does - but how did being white cause you or them to suffer?
So far, you haven't given any evidence of that, only called me racist.

Because you are racist. You judge people's suffering through the lens of their race. My ancestors were victims of a genocide, but that doesn't count, because it was a white-white genocide. Later my country was occupied with a puppet government but that doesn't count, because it was a white-white problem in a poor country far away. Nowadays neighboring country is literally an active warzone, but again, this doesn't count, because it's white-white war. A coworker coming from said country was telling me how difficult it is for him that he's sitting on his comfy chair in safety while his friends are literally dying, but that doesn't deserve empathy, because it's a white-white problem. The company we work for happens to be American, so instead of discussing the issue, we get "black Polynesian pride month" or whatever, as though I'd ever see such a person in my life.
Average black American earns more money than average white in my country, yet the former ones somehow win The Suffering Olympics with gold medal in being underprivileged. This is ridiculous.
I'll never forget it when I, having grown up gay in some godforsaken conservative village in the middle of nowhere, went to the city to see a pride event for the first time in my life, and some middle-upper-class city woman told me that I'm a white man, so obviously I have no idea what it feels like to be discriminated against. To her, my suffering didn't count, because I'm a white man.
The civil rights act seeks to create a color blind society. If schools or employers racialize people and treat them differently in any way, that’s illegal discrimination. It doesn’t matter if you think that treatment is warranted for certain groups but not other groups. That’s not a proper consideration under the law.
But people don't live in the past. "Your grandfather did wrong so now you must suffer" wow so much equality
