So the majority of people on here are by common standards white
White privilege is a common discussion point around the camp fire amongst me and my mostly brown friends
they tend to be more extreme than I am as far as it goes but Id like to hear what the other side of the fence has to say
to you acknowledge or disregard that there is a white privilege?
how do you deal with it internally if at all?
As far as my thinking about it goes I just start very basic and break it down from there
the majority of people that succeed in this country are white
colored peoples cultural tendencies are generally stigmatized in the media
class seems to be more and more the basis of mistreatment in this country but generally people of color have been to a degree forced into the lower classes via exploitation
the education system in areas where there are many people of color tend to be complete shit and most history classes literature classes etc etc are based on euro centric figures
Im constantly re evaluating my thoughts on it but in its most basic form i feel white privilege is slowly mending with classicism but with the basis of system where minorities can not and have not gotten very far.
the list could go on and on because its such a wide topic but ima shut up now to see what others think
