ThePredominate 04/13/18 11:23:16 AM #1:	Even if the message isn't trying to be. White privilege is a term used exclusively for white society. It actually refers to the disadvantage of those who are not white, who experience very specific ways in which they are disadvantaged. The term should be "minority disadvantage", but has been pushed on us with blaming or guilting white people. It upsets white people because the language is accusatory and inflammatory. There is also a double standard. White society is seen as needing to be a "bigger person" than other countries, and is expected to accommodate all races. For example, nobody would make an issue of "Indian privilege", where in India, a minority white person found it more difficult to navigate the systems of that society compared to someone with Indian ethnicity. --- Keep your face to the Sunshine, and you will not see the Shadows. <cite>ThePredominate posted [p:899585541] in White priv...

tremain07 04/13/18 11:34:08 AM #11:	White people are suffering worse racism now than any minority or non straight sexual orientation groups ever has in America yet the media remains silent then are shocked that white supremacist groups are regaining power. When the rest of the country looks at you as an enemy white supremacist groups start to look more and more welcoming if only for the protection and since of belonging they offer you, which is especially why they're so successful in recruiting on collage campus where being white is almost like being a prisoner in for murder.

Regardless of issues with framing, the only people who seem to get so upset about it are people who are too insecure to admit they've had a relatively privileged life. Nothing about my life has been privileged, let me tell you. I grew up in a poor neighbourhood, where there were many Pakistanis, and we were all disadvantaged together. But no, I'm white, so I'm privileged, apparently. I read the original paper on white privilege. The examples of minority disadvantage were highly specific and downright untrue in some cases.

The Admiral 04/13/18 12:28:29 PM #45:	"Minority disadvantage" is far more accurate. For one thing, it would capture the relative privileges that minority groups have in relation to one another even when white people are completely excluded. For example, imagine a town 50% Asian, 30% black, 20% Hispanic. Blacks are still going to experience many of the disadvantages they do now even without whites being present. Secondly, it allows the term to be generalizable to the describe the same disadvantages that exist in non-white majority countries. Of course, the term was never intended to be a useful descriptor. It was designed to be intentionally inflammatory by those who don't like white people and what they see as the culture white people created. --- - The Admiral <cite>The Admiral posted [p:899588845] in White priv...
