I'm not "white" and don't believe in majority rules or white privilege.

Social constructs propagated by the State have negative consequences universally but that doesn't mean you, as an individual, have to legitimize those same constructs.

That just it. Non-white groups do not generally want to be treated as individuals. We'd love to treat everyone as individuals and not protected identity groups. There is no privilege in being treated as an individual. Non-white identity groups want no part of being treated as individuals.

2. It only applies in countries were the majority of people are white or their is a large wealthy white minority.
So is that why white countries and only white countries are intentionally being converted to non-white? Everyone is privileged in majority white western countries. That's why we can't keep non-whites from flooding in.

3. No one says you have to be ashamed to be white just because white privilege exists.
Of course they're saying that and at least insinuating whites are racist and benefit from being so.

You just go on and on with white skin racism and I'm bored with it.

3. No one says you have to be ashamed to be white just because white privilege exists.
4. The best way is to send someone who doesn't believe in white privilege to another first world non-white country (Japan/ South Korea). You can't send them to a poor country because they often see white people as being all wealthy so whites get privilege anyways.
5. White privilege can also be called Majority privilege.
6. For example When I am in the Nigerian cities of Lagos and Ibadan I have the privilege of being "Yoruba", so people teach me as an individual because Yoruba's are the plurality (Lagos) or the majority (Ibadan) in these cities.
7. in Southern Nigeria- Nigeriens (from Niger) and Fulani people get heavily discriminated against just because they aren't Igbo or Yoruba. I do not have this problem as since I am Igbo/ Yoruba I can get treated as an individual since the majority of people around me are Yoruba and Igbo.
8. Port Harcourt the city I was born in is dominated by a small ethnic group and me being half-Yoruba just means I get grouped with the other Yorubas. Since Yorubas are a small minority in Port Harcourt though I don't get it as bad as Igbos who are a larger minority in that city.
I've heard some nasty stuff happening between different "Black" tribes in Africa, that would probably gag even a storm front fan. Like what happened in Rwanda about 20 years ago. The crazy part is all those people involved would be tagged as "Black" here in the US, by even American Blacks.

White Privilege is living as a majority in the country your ancestors built.

Black Privilege is living as a majority in the country your ancestors built.

Asian Privilege is living as a majority in the country your ancestors built.

I've never seen they did the same to other kids. (although other kids are equally adorable in my opinion. )
You're onto something there IMHO: it seems in many places light skin, especially with blond hair and blue eyes; "trumps" "Black" or "Asian" facial features with probably 99 percent of all storm front kind of white supremacists. My x fiance def had a "Black girl" face but, she def counted as anglo white.

X fiance looked a LOT like this lady, but with snow white skin ^^^

I feel this is more accurate description of America. Just wait till whites are the minority and we might as well be the Jews in 1930s Nazi Germany.

I challenge that white people care about blonde hair and eye color. No worries, natural blonde and blue eyes is becoming extinct in America and the West. About half of Americans had blue eyes in the early 20th century, now it is probably under 10% and dropping. If we could only do something to make pesky white skin extinct too, we'd have our globalist utopia .

What he will probably not have -- that his grandfather likely did -- is a pair of blue eyes.
Once a hallmark of the boy and girl next door, blue eyes have become increasingly rare among American children. Immigration patterns, intermarriage, and genetics all play a part in their steady decline. While the drop-off has been a century in the making, the plunge in the past few decades has taken place at a remarkable rate.
About half of Americans born at the turn of the 20th century had blue eyes, according to a 2002 Loyola University study in Chicago. By mid-century that number had dropped to a third. Today only about one 1 of every 6 Americans has blue eyes, said Mark Grant, the epidemiologist who conducted the study.

To be fair: the birthrate's dropping like a stone even with "races" that usually have brown eyes. Too; as more and more "mixed race" kids have children with blue eyed people, that eye color keeps popping back up. I say that cause of know several blue eyed people with 1 Asian or Black grandparent.

The studies and the article are clear, blue eyes are going bye bye, thanks to immigration in the 20th century. I watched the disappearance of blondes, blue eyes and whites proportionally in just the past couple decades.

I was actually not talking about being ashamed of being white. I was talking about whites having some guilt based on white privilege. As I have said, if white privilege is just racism perpetrated on blacks by some whites, then let's call it that and leave innocent white people out of it. If it is a vague psychological thing where blacks feel less welcome in the culture, then let's call it that, which is a problem with a kind of black demographic self-confidence. If it has to do with such things as bandaids being a lighter shade because of marketing, let's call it that. If we don't know what it is but we believe it must be out there somewhere, then let's be honest about that too.
