It's very difficult to be neutral about an aspect of yourself, unless you simply never think about it.
Right now, when people bring up race, most Whites show a little self hate. That's never good.

I think The original version of the comic was to point out how uncomfortable this would make men, to illustrate how uncomfortable it would make women feel.
But instead the person posting it is saying that men these days have it so tough that some kind words like this would be welcomed and improve their mental health. Men would be happy to be receiving compliments from women.
So the original point of the comic kinda backfires.
I think that the love for one's race is based on the idea that one's race is both accomplished and looks beautiful. And Yeah, one can certainly have a nanny take care of one's kids.
We're very happy when women compliment us!
THEN we think, "Wait, what does she want? Does she need me to help her move again?"
EDIT: only half joking.
Yep; if a women expresses interest in a guy first these days, the reaction of a lot of men is "What's her angle?".We're very happy when women compliment us!
THEN we think, "Wait, what does she want? Does she need me to help her move again?"
EDIT: only half joking.
Edit: Of course on the flip side, men approaching women these days are basically playing a game of Russian Roulette.

I feel like that varies depending on where they grow up? For one, I imagine an upper-middle class suburbanite would feel a lot more "undeservedly privileged" than a farm kid in Alabama, and so on and so forth.
Why the hyper-focus on the amount of melanin in their ancestors' skin, though? Sure, there are certain cultures that achieved much, but obsessing over race ignores the substantive issue, that being the culture that produced these achievements.
Besides, whoever you're attracted to is a matter of personal preference, so I don't get why there's a need for parents to "educate" their children on the "superior physical beauty" of one race over another. Again, I know people have preferences, but that doesn't make it necessary to "instill" certain "racial sensibilities" into who they decide to date or whatever.
Well, I think that it's culture plus genetic makeup, which are intertwined, but Yeah, in theory, there's no reason as to why exactly any human group can't evolve a higher average IQ than US Ashkenazi Jews have with enough evolution in the right direction. Populations can also evolve to be less crime-prone if their law-abiding members will have more children than their criminal-minded members.
FWIW, I actually wouldn't educate any children on the superiority physical beauty of any race, since it's subjective. I myself consider white people to be the most beautiful, but again, that's just my opinion. I would also prefer my descendants to be white like myself but again, this isn't actually something that I'm going to dictate to my descendants. Whomever they will decide to marry, of whatever race, will be fine with me just so long as they will have a good character.
I have never had love for my race. I can't say that I've had love for humanity. I love individuals.
Anyone who teaches skin color matters for anything is practicing racism. Pretty much the definition.

When much of the Media makes a point to talk about this, mostly in a consistant way, people are going to react. There's only a few ways to react.
For most of human history, it was tribal, and that was some genetics, and some culture. There were often other tribes around with similar genetics and culture, but they weren't yours. That was healthy, caring about your family more than your neighbours, and caring for those outside that, less still.
As nations got bigger, all that stretched. But, still, you could have that sense of extended family, with ethnic divisions being there, but smaller than it might be. The euro empires, for instance, had ethnic elements, but there was a real sense of responsability for those who were part of it, even if they were different in that sense. "We're all Christians", "We're all part of the Commonwealth", "They might be wogs, but they're our wogs.", etc.
So, right now, who's even allowed to say "My ancestors were part of ending slavery, I should be proud of that." without being attacked over it? And, before you ask, I have been attacked over that.
We're not allowed, in the greater cultural sphere, to have anything that unites us. Not skin color, not faith, not even cultural touchstones. Not unless said factor can be used to break things further. There's a reason why insanity and depression is so common right now.
That's why Black Power groups are fine, so long as they aren't violent, and sometimes even then. And White Power groups are the kind of thing that'll get you attacked by pretty much everybody.
So, to boil down your question to a simpler answer, it's not about melanin. It's about desperately looking for something, anything, that makes you feel like you could have anybody on your side. And ethnic traits are something you can tell at a glance.
Besides, racism is built into our very instincts. Trying to break that is just dumb.
Oh, and the farm kid Vs the suburbanite? The farm kid'll do something real, and thus get an entirely different look at the world, than the suburbanite. So, yes, somebody in the real world is more likely to see the truth.
There's a lot of shittyness built into our instincts. Our humanity is us rising above our instincts.

When I worked at Walmart I always enjoyed getting compliments from women of all ages. Mainly older
the original verson was probally made by a woman.
No offense but most women don't realize just how devoid of affection and kindness the lives of most men are. Honestly a compliment will make most mens day because they get so few. This isn't something most women get, but women who transitioned to male life styles know all about it.
Most of us have learned to accept this state of affairs long ago.

There's a reason I think we've got to dump feminism. I really don't like Islam, but they're more sane than we are.
Fun fact: the English word "ogre" is derived linguistically from "magyar".
And modern-day Hungary is one of the more sane countries in Europe about mass immigration.
Maybe the SJWs have to be defeated here on Earth first. Otherwise they'll sabotage any attempt to go to space.

Is there any way we could send the SJWs and Karens into space first? That way we gain valuable data and lose nothing important.

Watching people die because they're authoritarians focused on dominating others rather than getting work critical to living done isn't going to give us any new information. We already know how that works, and sending them into space to watch it happen would be a very expensive way to do this.
I don't think its a feminism problem by all accounts this is just a part of the male condition for a long time. Some problems are just what your dealt with when your born. Men get certain problems women get certain problems your dealt your cards and you play them as best you can.
