It wasn't uncommon to hear in Eastern Europe a short while ago that "Jews control the world" and that's why we should take their power from them. Clearly absurd, but that's how people felt. (And I'm not making points about the Nazis, I'm making points about Poland in 1989 during the fall of Communism.)

But now we hear "white men control the world," and are expected to take their power away.

Just because they're similar doesn't mean they're the same, I realize. But we should at least be self-aware about that similarity, because it means something.
