It's just another racist term used by some minorities in an attempt to gain political power which they then abuse.
I always thought it (white privilege) was invented by Baizuo
(pronounced 'bye-tswaw') is a Chinese epithet meaning naive western educated person who advocated for peace and equality only to satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority. A baizuo only cares about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment; while being obsessed with political correctness to the extent that they import backwards Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism.
The Chinese see the baizuo as ignorant and arrogant westerners who pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours.
Examples:
Hillary Clinton: 'We White Americans…Need to Recognize Our Privilege'
Bernie Sanders, 'When you're white ... you don't know what it's like to be poor'
It's a huge thing that gets talked about. Minorities/women complain about "white privilege/male privilege" etc. but if the roles were reversed do you think these same people would care? If we lived in a world where blacks were the dominating force and got all the good stuff and white people got totally screwed, would you see them doing everything they can to combat "black privilege"? If women were dominating, had all the nice stuff and set up the rules and men got constantly screwed do you think you'd see many women complaining about "female privilege"?
I know we like to all believe that we can live in a world where there are no biases, no preferential treatment, no discrimination/prejudice etc. but isn't that just an inevitability that, obviously, whoever makes up the majority will end up catering things to their own way? That by and large things will be more advantageous towards the majority? While it's true white people, at least white men have had the advantage in steering things towards the way they want it, the way it ultimately favors them even at the expense of others, isn't that just natural?
Now I am by no means any kind of feminist/SJW by any means, but it does irk me how much things go on and on about white/male "privilege" acting as if it's a uniquely male/white thing when I find that completely absurd.
Do you see organizations of Blacks or women forming to keep Mexicans away from prosperity? Arguing that other groups shouldn't enjoy any of the advantages they do? Bc that's what Conservative Whites do.
Why wonder about whether a hypothetical could exist when you can look at actual history to see if it does?
The best example of male privilege which is a very real thing, I can give is... "I had a female boss once, she did not know how to lead. Women don't know how to lead.", IMO White Privilege sort of works in the same way, you treat white people as individuals and you treat everyone else as categories, the only people who treat white people the same way minorities are treated are SJW's always using terms like "the whites" or "all whites". Now in areas that aren't majority white this sort of collectives vs. individuals thing might be turned on its head like in Nigeria, we might say "Oyinbos(generic term for whites used across many Nigerian ethnic groups) always act funny when they see a bridge, always trying to kill themselves with bungee jumping, they are crazy." Of course their stereotypes of white people but unless your in a community that is overwhelmingly minority filled, no one really applies this stereotype to real life.
Pretty much everyone has some sort of privilege in some situations. Not everyone can be an obese pansexual left-handed disabled impoverished transgender person of color with Celiac's disease. But sadly, most people are hypocrites - they dismiss any privilege they have as irrelevant while whining loudly about any disadvantages they might have.
Honestly I wonder why the OP and other whites get offended by the phrase "white privilege." You should take your own advice and stop being snowflakes lol.
But really, if I had any sort of privilege or advantage based on gender or ethnicity, I'd have no problem with recognizing I do while also taking advantage of it. IMO most white men in America are aware of their privilege, they just won't admit it. That is why some get defensive about it. Those that don't get defensive about it know it is there and they take advantage like I would do and I have no problem with either but find it funny that so many of you complain about it and act like it doesn't exist when you know it does.
No, they just "work hard" to support "their kids" and someone else's kids. They don't dump them on the woman and society while running around like dogs in heat then cry that they're not being treated fairly.
The best example of male privilege which is a very real thing, I can give is... "I had a female boss once, she did not know how to lead. Women don't know how to lead.",
hmm male chauvinist pig? Or maybe you who couldn't handle being led by a woman, you know, the easily bruised male ego that every woman knows is a very real thing.
As one woman told me a long time ago my 1st day on the job... "Around here, if you don't have something hanging between your legs don't ask". I laughed, after reading your post, maybe I shouldn't have. I've always wanted to ask a man who thinks like you do, ... What is it about that thing you got between your legs that makes you feel all powerful? Does it give you more brains?
