You are privileged compared to the vast, vast majority of the population of the world. You have clean running water, you have a permanent home, you have access to healthcare, police, fire departments, education for your kids, central heating, the internet, TV, radio, electric lights and on and on and on. The fact that you see al of this and more as your God-given right, while berating anyone who might call you privileged, is your privilege writ large. And so is virtually everyone who lives in Europe and the USA.

Your posts consistently have the same tone. Insulting. If also find the whole idea that White people get everything handed to them on a plate insulting.
What's insulting (apart from you capitlising "White" for some reason), is that you seem to think that because others have more privilege than you, that you are somehow not privileged.

So, for example, it was outrageous that the Jews complained about the National Socialists taking their jobs and homes away. Blooming wimps. How much evidence do you need that - with a few notable exceptions - people from ethnic minorities have historically found it to not be a level playing field in life? It's out there is you care to open your eyes.

But despite my more humble than many but not as humble as some background, I still recognize that there were/are inherent advantages that I have enjoyed, two of the larger ones being that I'm male and white. I do not apologise for this - it's none of my doing, after all - but to deny that those things haven't helped is ridiculous.

It's out there is you care to open your eyes. You are going to compare ethic minorities today to Jews in Nazi Germany? Blimey. 'with a few notable exceptions'? If the reason is racism then the....'few notable exceptions' doesn't work. So why are Asians the highest earning racial group? Edited by Stirlingsays (08 Jan 2018 9.29pm)
