The hell does that even mean?
Well we are better than everyone else

Yes
Make a fictional character suddenly change race when their race plays zero importance in the back story, and white people complain unless said character suddenly becomes white. Any such things to make a person colored will be met with fierce claims of sjws and political correctness.
Heck, white people get so angry about stuff that when the media reports on crimes, they'll show the mug shots of people of color, or if they died then any pictures of them looking mean plus dig up dirt on them. Yet a white person committing horrible crimes gets them either labeled Muslim, or they'll have their pictures of them surrounded by family being happy (even if they murdered the family).

Not that this is my belief, but let's play devil's advocate: if a movie had a black character as the main one initially, and it was changed to a white person, do you think there would be no controversy? I feel like your first point would apply to both sides of this argument.

I question the authenticity of this poll.
You know that's not at all to what I was referring.
White people don't realize they're privileged
At 11, water is wet

Nope, I just didn't understand it. My bad.

To be fair, this isn't asking about privilege. Privilege is what you have, entitled, as the poll suggests, is how you feel. You could be the least privileged person and still be the most entitled. Granted, I still said its white people, but you can't say "white people don't realize they're privileged" if this poll has nothing to do with privilege.
Considering that right now in the world, If you have two equally qualified people trying to do something that requires some kind of approval or acceptance, if one guy is white and the other one is a minority, the minority will be chosen almost every time.

So at this point in time, minorities have the advantage, simply because people don't want others to think white people have it, so it gets taken away.
It's amazing people are so divided with stuff like this all over the place. I just can't figure out why
No, out of all the races, white people seem least likely to claim they are "owed" something.

Literally no factual basis for your statement.
Well the civilization we live in today was pretty much created by white people. Hell they pretty much invented EVERYTHING. We should all be grateful that the white man allows us to live in their world.

I'm going to agree, mostly to see what happens, and also because the great socialist utopias exist exactly where "white people" are (Canada, pretty much all of Europe, and the western parts of Russia).
Really the world is the way it is because the different races kept trading with each other.
Imagine the delusions of grandeur that come from thinking that people are making fun of you because they're jealous.
I mean, just look at Silicon Valley. The amount of diversity in that place is what keeps it going. Really its full of Asians, Indians, Jews, and middle eastern people. I don't mean this is in a bullshit quotas are good way, but its what happens when you let qualified people from all over the world come together.
Google somehow invented Kansas City as Silicon Valley jr. Let see what happens.
