This 'White Privilege Checklist' For Students Is EVERYTHING | Daily Wire



I'm not white, but I can't imagine why I'd care about several things on that list. Why would I give 2 craps about if my boss/person in charge is my race, if I can find a bandage to match my skin color, how many people with my skin color I see in magazines (for a few examples).


Some just do not make sense (like finding music made by your race represented at stores. Where do they not sell music by non white artists???)

So they want to be able to have body odor and be late without it reflecting on their race.

It doesn't, it reflects on YOU, the individual.

What am I missing?

Oh, so this is the famous white privilege checklist they are talking about.

Interesting.

I guess so. This is the biggest coup of top secret info since the Rebels acquired the blueprints for the Death Star.

If I were black, I would be offended by the questions, for example #8 and 11. 8 implies that blacks have odd body shape and particularly bad body odor. 11 implies that blacks are always late.

In #16, "by" should be spelt "buy". But, hey, a college professor wrote it.

The lateness thing does feed the stereotype.

I'm horribly late for things. It's a huge personality fault.

Nothing compares to my sister's best friend though. She's white and just showed up for an appointment she had for 1995. Exaggerating...but barely.

The whole list is stupid, but especially the one about the IRS audit. Since when did the IRS single people out solely based on their race? That's reserved for conservatives people!

Just claim to be from Brazil, and everyone will just nod, as it is expected of their culture.

Needless to say much of the list is absurd and not to be taken seriously. If I have a wound that needs attention, I could give a flip what color it is (except I wouldn't want pink).
