According to Professor Andrew Pegoda, not being a red-head is now a "privilege." Pegoda teaches at both the University of Houston-Clear Lake and at Alvin Community College.
In an article titled "What Acknowledging Privilege Means To Me (and You), or Privilege Explained in 187 Words," Pegoda outlines what it means to acknowledge his "White (and cis-Male) Privilege."
Pegoda writes that privilege means "that my accomplishments–or perhaps more accurately, my access and opportunities to have said accomplishments–are due in part (and probably a greater part than even I am able to or even comfortable articulating) to deeply-ingrained, institutional forces fully beyond my control, largely invisible forces that perpetuate racism and sexism to benefit me at the expense of others, rather at the expense of every person."
He further says that "science and history and sociology and psychology" proves his privilege.
At the end of Pegoda's article, he includes "check your privilege BINGO:"
According to Pegoda's "bingo," not being a red-head is a privilege. On top of that, being Christian, having no criminal record, and having a "standard accent" are privileges as well.
I’ve probably dated more redheads than anyone else on this forum. It was an abdo-lute fixation. I was cured by marrying one!

No Baconator® for you professor!
“White privilege” can more accurately be described as white work ethic, white morality, and white long-term planning, and also partially white intellect.
These factors are responsible for our civilization as we know it.
Anti-white racism, like the above article, is in effect an attack on our entire civilization.
The professor needs to be marginalized and die cold and alone.
I had never heard of that. It is, of course, complete nonsense.
How extraordinary that we must now have a PC prefix, meaning "normal, non-freakish."

Another God’s gift to man.
As a natural born red haired man I feel a little sorry for people with more common plumage. No offence but it is soul warming to be among the rarest of the rare. The privilege is all mine.

I love it when liberals try to sound all lofty and profound.
