| Apparently there has been a lot of discussion about "white supremacy" and "white privilege" on all types of social media (besides ATC) in recent times. I have no doubt what you are saying is accurate, but your definition is much different than what is espoused by many respected historians and journalists of color and a few white guys also. I would say over the last 6 months I have seen at least 3 programs on CNN and MSNBC discussing this subject. On CNN both Fareed Zakaria and Anand Gridharadas strongly disputed your definitions. They also attacked the use of the term "yellowface" as repugnant and an example of tribalism by one Asian group trying to exert seniority over another. It was pretty strong stuff. I believe Bob Woodward and others on MSNBC stated that white privilege should refer mainly to well-to-do white families and not less educated working class whites. Craig Melvin and another black journalist whose name I can't remember (he's a well known writer, he uses gel and white streaks in his hair which stands straight up) referred to white privilege as mostly a myth since whiteness is often more of a perception than a physical fact. |
