"In a white supremacist society…"

73. overt racists are social outcasts in america. most racism is unintentional

i have seen administrators at schools punish kids of lower socioeconomic classes harder than they would those from wealthy, well-connected families. this disproportionately affects minority students more than white ones (though it happens to poor whites as well.) but its effect is still racist because the people more harshly dealt with are overwhelmingly racial minorities.

now, i disagreed strongly with the post on so-called white male hetero privilege because i believe it sent a message to poor white people that they are losers for being poor - after all, if they are so privileged, why are they poor. i personally would not use the term white supremacy to describe they enequities faced by minorities in this country, but i agree with this article's overarching thesis, which i still do not interpret as a claim that skinheads and klansmen run this country.
