I don't think this discussion is going anywhere, so this will be my last comment on the subject. I (obviously) agree that Blacks and other minorities in the United States have faced discrimination. In many cases, more than that. But speaking of "white privilege" has elements of the same kind of thinking, i.e., treating everyone in the group (substitute Blacks, Jews, Asians, gay men and women etc.) as if they all shared the same unsavory characteristic. As I wrote before, I believe the use of the phrase "white privilege" is racist and offensive. You do not. So be it. Gustave
PS. As long as microaggressions have been brought up -- contributors should be careful writing "America" when they really mean "United States." |
