Straight White Male: The Lowest Difficulty Setting There Is

[hfojvt]

232. well a good discussion should take several days

rather than being an immediate back and forth. People can then take some time to think about things and refine their arguments.

Indeed, I sorta felt like I had slipped into a position of "white privilege exists, but it is insulting to say so".

But my statistics did not show that one set of victims had an advantageous set of circumstances. They just showed that a lower percentage of white people were being trampled.

I find this notion of white privilege to be wrong because it divides the country into

oppressed groups (which includes lots of people who are not particularly oppressed, like Oprah and Tiger)

and

privileged groups (which includes lots of people who are not particularly privileged (like me))


whereas I would divide these groups only by class. Thus, all those in the top 20% are privileged (with some variations for cost of living and health, etc (a rich person with terminal cancer is not better off than a poor person in good health)

and those in the bottom 20% are oppressed (if only by circumstances)
