Another inconvenient truth that the media will ignore...

” the percentage of Combat Deaths suffered by White Men?”

I work on a college campus here in Illinois. Let me give you an example of white privilege at work...

Two years ago, we had a faculty opening. The university told us that we could only interview female or minority candidates for the position.

The person hired for the position was both female and a minority. She also has a disability.

Her reviews as an instructor have been consistently poor. I have seen her lecture and was struck by the fact that not only was she a bad teacher but she was wrong. The lesson she was presenting was factually incorrect.

Six months ago, she was the subject of an ethics investigation. A student claimed the professor offered to sell her the answers to the midterm for X dollars and the answers to the final for Y dollars. After an investigation, the university took the professor's word over the student's. No consequences for the professor.

The professor was also named "Professor of the Year" for the college.

As a white male, I would have been terminated for poor teaching or even the allegation that I had been trying to shake down students for cash. Yep, it's a privilege being a white male on campus.
