I’m so tired of white privilege crapola. I would venture to say that 99% of white people don’t care about skin color. What they are ‘prejudiced’ about is behavior and ghetto culture practices and ideologies.
I have yet to see the counter for this white privilege socio-fad, which in my mind is this: privilege is something that is not assumed or taken by the privileged, it is something that is bestowed or granted. IOW, whites don’t assume this so called privileged status, it is only something that can be granted by people of color.
I was talking to a coworker from India, and we were discussing this white privilege concept. I asked that in a country like his, being populated by mostly Indians, if there was “Indian privilege”, and that privilege was a product of majority in whatever country you are in. I was surprised when he gave me an example of two people at a hotel, one room left, and an Indian and a white vying for that room. He said the room would be offered to the white more often than not, and that “white privilege” indeed exists as a concept. But than he further made the point that it isn’t a good or bad thing, it just is, and it is bestowed on one that earns it, that the status of privilege is conveyed by the one who gives it.
Made me think, which makes my head hurt...
