white privilege exists, just like pretty privilege, or female privilege (in some situations), male privilege (in other situations). If you are ugly or fat, your life is harder because people don't take you as seriously. The same concept applies with race because people inevitably make judgments, comparisons, and stereotypes purely based on their world view and media they consumption, or frankly, are just less comfortable with people that are different than them.
You were taught these things but have never lived them or seen them. I notice you left out black privilege. Privilege isn’t governed by one skin color anymore. Hasn’t been in your lifetime.
If you assume that privilege as a concept exists, then saying that it applies to everything, EXCEPT race (the most visible one of all) is incredibly naive and farfetched.
Nothing to do with athletics. If you come from a diverse area, like I do, you understand what I am saying. If you don’t, then you probably just go by what you’ve been told. I was just noticing that you can easily leave out every race except white people when mentioning privilege. I don’t believe in racial privilege in this country. I actually don’t believe that many US citizens are victims of racial oppression in modern times.

the predominant race in a society inevitably has privileges, because people like to gravitate and/or hire people that they share cultural values with. So there is privilege in America because white people tend to hire other white people, subconsciously. Happens in other countries too. Maybe you should describe your own anecodtal experience other than assume I don't know what you are talking about.
Oh so now it’s subconscious privilege? That’s convenient. Don’t even need proof anymore, just tell us what we are subconsciously thinking. The complaining far outweighs the problem and, honestly, there isn’t a problem. Hasn’t been for a long, long time. You’ve never experienced racial oppression first hand and you don’t know anyone who has. If you think you can assume what all white people are thinking, I can assume that you’re full of ****. Whether you are white or black, you are 100% going off what you’ve been told, not what you’ve experienced or seen.
Yeah you don't know me, you don't know my race, and you don't know what I've seen, or the people I talk to. So stop making assumptions about me, cause I guarantee you they are wrong. Think about the stereotypes that people deal with. Black people are dangerous, criminals. Asians are weak, unassuming. These are detrimental that's explains why you see less asians in leadership positions, or black people being more likely to be arrested and/or treated aggressively by law enforcement.
You just said that you know what white people are thinking subconsciously. How do you turn around and accuse anyone of being assumptive after that? Also, I’ve never heard that Asians are weak. I know for a fact that they definitely aren’t. Nobody is racially oppressed in this country. There are racists, yes. They come in all colors. Just fyi, but assuming to know what an entire race is thinking might be something a racist would do. Your words make it easy to deduce that you have limited experience with those outside of your race.
@Salvy @Tomstro @TheRealist137 @RB713 @CrixusTheUndefeatedGaul This is for those people who participated I’m glad they learned this
Then you clearly are not in Asian circles. These are known stereotypes that exist. https://www.cnn.com/style/article/a..., have,of today's ridicule and discrimination.
Stereotypes about everyone exist. Doesn’t seem to slow the Asians down. There is no racial oppression of American citizens. There are racists, yes. They come in all colors.
What do you mean "it doesn't seem to slow the Asians down". Asians had to work harder to get where they're at and overcome racial stereotypes. This is like saying that a short person doesn't have privilege because there are short people that make it, when the overwhelming number of CEOs are tall. "Yes, tall people—specifically men—are disproportionately represented in business leadership. While only roughly 14% of American men are 6 feet or taller, they make up over 50–60% of Fortune 500 CEOs. This significant height advantage is often linked to implicit bias, where height is associated with leadership, competence, and authority." Same concept, when tall man enters a room, there is a presence that he commands, based on a stereotype. When an Asian walks into a room, there is implicit stereotypes that they are seen as weaker. The problem with you is you seem to acknowledge that privilege exists (whether it's economic status, height, looks, etc.), but haven't proven why race is is magically excluded from this.
