Is Whiteness really a bad thing?

The subject of whiteness has caused many issues for people, such as how Caucasian people play roles that are usually non Caucasian or how we follow under Caucasian culture and way of thinking despite other cultures being seen as inferior.

While that maybe true there are a lot of benefits about Whiteness despite the negativity and stigma around it, due to whiteness there has been an establishment of how humans interact and how people are able to form groups, because in today's society closeted racism occurs everywhere even among non Caucasian communities. 

Nowadays we see less racist groups and more groups that are prejudice among other groups, for example; there are many groups among Christians such as Protestant, Catholic, Pentecostal and even branches that are among those branches that all think the other group is wrong. Even among Muslims, there is a specific group called the Ahmadiyya who are a distinguished group of Muslims that branched out to be so different to mainstream Islam that it became its own religion.

I believe Whiteness is not the only problem in social media but its also how communities are formed, Whiteness is only the base of the issue about how humans are separated and categorized in different ways because the stigma in Whiteness has caused a closeted racism so it is not as obvious. The main issue is how communities act towards others close to their communities in order to get along in peace.
