"Electronic Dance Music Festivals Fraught With White Privilege"

[TM99]

179. I have been very honest

in all of my posts that yes, I completely deny privilege theory and especially the modern bugaboo of 'white privilege'.

Now to address your other issues. My assumptions are based on facts that are easily sourced out.

Look up the annual tuition costs for the state university she attends. Compared to those who can not even afford that, yes, she is privileged.

Look up the costs to attend the festival in question. It will range anywhere from $500.00 to over $1000.00 for travel, lodging, and event fees. I know this because I have attended them. The kids that often attends these are usually quite financially secure which yet again means she has financial privilege.

Your assumption is that when I rightly criticize her incongruence, hypocrisy, etc. that I am calling her 'financially affluent'. Read what I wrote again.

Her hypocrisy is very apparent. She is a member of a hula hoop group at her school. It is hard to hold a straight face when you criticize whites for stealing dreads and then partake in a multi-cultural activity that traces it routes to Native American culture and Hawaiian cultures.

So yes, I confidently stand behind my sourced assumptions as to who she is and how she presents herself.
